I've been working with max for around 20 years, but almost exclusively in the realm of jitter, so my foray into MSP is very rough. However, I got this additive signal generator patch going and it works really good for controlling visuals, however as I sweep my gain through various [*~ ] objects, I am getting some weird rapid yet brief clipping going up or down the range. I'm sure it is an easy fix, here is the subpatcher I am using to mix signals. I am sure it is something really basic, and I thank you for your input.

Don't know if it's just me, but setting a counters carry flag output to 'bang' in the inspector is not saved with the patch.

On re-opening it's set back to 'numeric'...

I'm looking to build a simple patch that will consist of a dial that will morph / interpolate between 16 no. 4096 samples waveforms.

This video seems to morph how i would imagine it but unfortunately the patch isnt shared. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLJNovdGsd0

can anyone give some pointers on where to start?

Hello, I’m looking for a synth implementation that can be controlled via Max messages—something that would let me tweak parameters, modulations, and the notes it plays based exclusively on messages sent from a sequencer. From what I’ve seen, it’s either tied to Max for Live or not quite what I’m after. 

I mean the kind of synth/module/fx/etc. with which i can do anything with messages only, without interacting with ui and anything else.

For example, if it is a granular synth, i want to form a one long message, specifying a note and movements of how the sample is being read, envelope parameters, to create a one certain recreateable sound i want to get from the synth

The live.scope object set to update interval 0.01 is causing an extremely sloppy audio timing despite the settings seen in the screenshots below. 

In order to get the timing correct, I need to set my Signal Vector Size to 1 sample. Nothing else will cut it on the audio settings side.

To fix it on the live.scope side instead, set its interval to values 1 and larger.

Not sure if this is a bug per se, but it sure is able to mess with the users and cause some painful debugging moments in complex patches.

I’m trying to open an abstraction directly embedded in a bpatcher when I instantiate it by its name in a simple object box. Additionally, I want to be able to use arguments and attributes.

 folder of my package with the following commands:

max objectfile abstraction-name abstraction-name;

max definesubstitution abstraction-name bpatcher @name abstraction-name @border 1; 

When I call the abstraction by its name in a patcher, it opens embedded in a bpatcher with the border.

However, I haven’t figured out how to use arguments and attributes. Ideally, I’d like to be able to call, for example, "

bpatcher @name abstraction-name 3 @myAttribute toto @border 1

Does anyone have an idea how to achieve this?

I use the 'key' object to create keyboard shortcuts on almost every key on my laptop.  Very handy for performance, but obviously it can be irritating when I'm in editing mode, and all those keys start accidentally triggering things as I type.  Is there any easy solution to this problem?

I thought about sending the key output through a gate, which I could then turn off with (yet another) keyboard command when I start editing.  But I'd have to remember to do that every time I go into edit mode, and besides it's a pain.  (Also, I couldn't use a key command to re-enable key when I'm done editing!)

In some situation, AFAIK there is no way to avoid creating lots of new 'big' symbol very often in Max, and it seems that it can eat a lot of RAM very quickly...

(filling *I guess* the Max symbol hash table)

---> please open patch below (everything is explained in it) :

If I understand things correctly, as long as data stay in dictionaries, no new symbol is created.

but when you want to send a dict over network, the only way I know is using dict.serialize, and then the whole content of the dict is turned into a symbol.

a way to turn dict in some kind of 'FullPacket' message to send directly to udpsend ?

(and in the other way fullPacket coming from udpreceive --> dict)

any good idea on a way to avoid this problem ?

I have attached a polyrhythm patch I have been working on. I was looking for a way to drive it by a phasor~ rather than a metro and transport Raw Ticks. Can anyone show me a way to do this please?

How do I convert the attached polyrhythm patch to work from a phasor~

Just a basic object I saw no reason to keep for myself only.

There's only a MacOS X version but I would be happy to transmit the source to anyone willing to make a Windows version.
