hey! i'm super new to max getting to grips with it. 

i am trying to sonify a sculpture but before i do that i want to be able to make all the code in max work so it should be simple enough to tell the electronics what to do. The variable in the sculpture i am trying to build is a light sensor either covered or uncovered. 

So - when the light is covered there would be one set of samples running and when it is not there would be another set of samples running. so two alternative soundscapes. happy for this 'covered/uncovered' to be a button or something similar right now. 

i have managed to build to step sequencers with buffers, but i am struggling to find a way to go between them whilst both are playing continuously? struggling to google the right thing... / it come with answers that make sense... so hopefully this forum can help!

Is there an object or external that can be triggered with a signal (like sending a "bang" command), and in response, can make the mouse click?

I have tried [aka.mouse] but no luck (could not load due to incorrect architecture).

Hi, I'm pretty new to Max and enjoying it a lot but I've never been a programmer so there's a lot to wrap my head around. I am trying to build a step sequencer driven by tempo-locked phasor~, but I want the phasor shape to be "warped" by a function object, basically a tempo-synched complex modulation curve. I'm confident in my idea but I can't figure out how to make phasor~ drive the function, since it outputs a signal and function wants a float input. I imagine I need to use some sort of mediating buffer but I don't know enough to make that work. Any ideas, or examples I could look to? I haven't been able to find any. Thanks!

I'd like to find a simple and effective way to press my keys and have Max store the pitch in different messages. 

Instead of sitting and putting everything in manually after finding a good chord, it would be lovely if I could make a sequence that remembers what I've played. I'm only thinking about chords, not single tones.

Is there a smarter way (like mine shown below) of outputting all the data of a matrixcntrl at once out of its right outlet whilst dialing one of its buttons?

This is a sample-accurate looper i'm feeling a nice ease-and-flow in coding and using, that stems from a good amount of simplicity/minimalism in the design. So I think this might be good to eventually release to the wild as officially and functionally as possible(eventually submitted as a 'package' to the max ecosystem with nice helpfile/refpage/docs etc.). 

I could use some beta-testing! And also help on bettering the helpfile/docs

Attached are the externals for Mac(.mxo), Win(.mxe64), along with helpfile.

And here's a bit of a description to start with:

1) For playback, the signal-inlet controls are 'starting-phase', and 'speed': 

'speed' of '0' turns the object off, any other speed turns it on(w/ de-click fade-ins/outs) 

'starting-phase' is the position at which playback starts, and can be changed on the fly while playing with crossfade-declicking(not while in 'oneshot' mode, though)

2) For recording, the signal-inlets are for 'starting-phase', 'speed'(-1., 0., or 1.; reverse/stop/forward only), overdub, and recording-inputs for left and right

3) For outlets: there are playback outputs(left and right), a playback-phase outlet, and a recording-phase outlet

4) The only messages are "in", "aus"(for playback-loop 'in' and 'out' points),

"rin"/"raus"(for recording-loop 'in' and 'out' points),

and "set"(to change buffer~s referred to)

"fade" is an attribute you can set for all fade-times

(in samples; interesting effects can be achieved by changing this in real-time)

"oneshot" is an attribute you can set (as a flag - 0/1) to put the object in one-shot mode where, only a speed-change from 0 to non-zero will set the object playing starting from the 'starting-phase' inlet's control, and ending at the furthest loop-boundary

(if playing forward, it will play til the end(aus/raus) point, if playing backward, will play 'til the start(in/rin))

5) while playing, de-clicking is handled by crossfades

(sine-based crossfade: fades out of the previous-position, in-tandem with a fade-in to the current/changed-position) for playback and recording (in recording, the crossfade accounts for overdub amount)

6) 'initialization-modes' allow you to setup the object more efficiently: 

the object takes 3 arguments -> buffer~ name(mandatory), channel-number(optional... although mandatory if you want to enter up to three arguments), and 

 allow you to access "play"-only functions, "rec"ording-only functions, or all functions at once, just give a 3rd argument of either nothing(for all functions available), "play", or "rec". accordingly, the object 

will initialize to cut-out any unnecessary inlets/outlets, and internal variables/functions, etc. to give you the most efficient possible object 

(for example, creating an object like so: [rez~ bufname 1 play],

gives you a 1-channel playback-only object, where only two signal-inlets are provided(the two for playback-control only), and 1 signal-outlet for single-channel output, plus 1 signal-outlet for playback-phase..

..or creating an object like so: [rez~ bufname 1 rec], 

gives you a 1-channel recording-only object, where 4 signal-inlets are given(starting-phase, rec-speed(-1/0/1), overdub, rec-inputLeft), and 1 signal-outlet for recording-phase signal..

..whereas, creating an object like so: [rez~ bufname],

gives you all signal-inlets/signal-outlets/functions(and 2-channel by default))

 so far, i do run into clicks/pops here and there(mainly when using the object(in the default initialization with recording/playback all-in-one) to cause the playback and record heads to cross each other, but with very small loop-sizes or performing very fast cuts yet very close to each other continually... the first tab in the helpfile runs into this issue). also, i've not de-clicked transition from 'oneshot' mode to regular, so for now, that attribute is better changed whenever the object is not running. and also, in 'oneshot', sometimes the recording performs something inaccurate about the fade-outs near buffer~ boundaries.
