I'm quite confusing about how can I apply time stretch to a groove, I see the official documentation and it says that you have to activate using @timestretch 1, and ten there are other attributes related like mode, quality and formant that you can use. It doesn't says that are mandatory to work, but I put them anyways. Still doesn't work.. I don't know what is happening.

I'm new to Max and struggle with the problem that I want to change the Audio Output device on a Mac. From the Audio status I can see that "Build-in Output" is selected.

Now I want to change this to my external audio interface from a patch.

~' video, I built this sampler for a project I am working on. How do I stop this from looping and instead playing it once and never again until the bang is hit again? I tried changing the groove~ object to groove~ SamplesOne @loop 0. I've removed the @loop attribute altogether, I've tried to replace the trigger with a bang, I've connected the bang to the groove object, to the sig~ object and nothing works. Thank you!

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?

Hey, I have strange problem, when I enter a fullscreen of jit.window on extended monitor, or projector, window disappear and max goes freez and crash. Main laptop display works fine. When I switch projector as main display, and laptop display as secondary, window crashes on laptop display. Nvidia graphic driver is updated. Thank you very much for every idea.

Am establishing communication between Max and a BLE-enabled ESP32-C3 with the following steps on a MacBook Pro.

Looking to automate everything as much as possible, though.

Is there any way to connect Max and the ESP32-C3 without having to use Audio Midi Setup (or any outside) application?

Hi - I just finished my first Max patch. I did a chord generator as an exercise. It's based on a javascript scripter plugin I wrote for Logic here: 

https://github.com/EricGeorge/logic_scripter/blob/main/chords.js 

, which itself is inspired by the Reason Studio Chords and Scales player.

Everything seems to be working fine - but I suspect there are ways to make things more efficient, or use more relevant Max objects, especially for my data management.

I have some notes at the top describing key parts, but feel free to ask for any clarification on anything.

Thanks in advance for any feedback as I really look forward to improving my Max patch building.

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

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!)
