I am trying to use my MIDI controller (midi Fighter Twister) to edit one of the breakpoints on a curve in a 

 object.  I have my controller setup to output 63 for down and 65 for up 1 unit increments.  When I initially set this up, it seemed to work fine but after reopening the file and making an edit, the points snap to other locations and do not increment as expected.   

, extracting the x and y values for the 3rd point, adding or subtracting the value from the control, paking the list, then sending it back in to the 

 object.  It seems like there is an issue with the loop and the unpack is always getting the zero values?

 to address possible order of ops issues but that did not solve it.  After reopening this the 3rd point will always go back to 26.578, 0.  Any ideas?

* Also, in this file, I took out the controller connection and am using the 63 and 65 messages to increment.

I need to scroll through the various steps of the live.step object.

I've set up my live.step object to be editable with a variable number of steps, but if I go from 8 steps to 64, the object zooms out to show all the steps.

My goal is to always have the Live.step window display 8 steps, even when the object is set to 16 or something else, but to be able to manually scroll through the subsequent steps when "the sequencer is turned off."

Is it possible to use a slider object as a service for a Live.step object?

Hi there, this is my first post here. I hope I am explaining thing right. 

I am looking for a way to analyze the evolution of melody and harmony in musical corpora. 

I was thinking about using the [anal] object to measure how many times a note go to another and extract some probabilities out of that. I believe this can then be used to generate variations or mimic the style of the analyzed melodies. It might be too simplistic tho. I don't know. I think it can work nicely for a single song analysis but the probs extracted wouldn't be rich enough to produce interesting variations. 

I think there is another problem with this way of analyzing. It doesn't catch the harmonic context of the melodies. And if I were to analyze a big collection of songs with each its own root note and modulations, my probability model would be completely unusable.

This project is not very mature rn. This post is more a call for references or examples from the community. If you have any idea of a method I could use or anything, I'll take it.

I've followed the tutorials below to make a step sequencer with adjustable length. What I'm having trouble with is the ability to keep the note values and on/off values of higher steps when the sequence is shortened. 

For example if I have a 16 note sequence I like, to be able to shorten it to 11 notes, and then lengthen back to 16 and have the original 16 note sequence I liked (with the same note values in the multi-slider and same on/off triggers in the matrixctrl).

Is this possible and if so I'd really appreciate any help - thanks so much!

Hey I just wrote a patch that dumps a dict in max format, including any nested data. So if you are like me and just want to get everything out of any dict to max at once here is a solution in pure max without js.

Just send the patcher your dictionary name and it spits out the entire dictionary with nested data and arrays using max syntax.

print: prompt this is the 'end' of the world and it is now the beginning of time

print: response::id cmpl-3xYpqH8fykcBKR1aViLQ7dQSWSiBc

print: response::model davinci:2020-05-03

print: response::choices::text — about is very gorgeous

print: response::choices::finish_reason length

this is super handy if you then dynamically use the forward object to distribute the data (also in the patch).

I found this really frustrating to make, especially as the gettype request does not distinguish between a dictionary and a one element array, so the work around is to reset one-element-arrays converting them to their content and removing the [] array symbols.

I’m sharing a Max / Max for Live patch developed as an ambient and non-tempo-based frequency synthesizer.

The instrument is designed to generate sustained drones and slowly evolving textures without relying on Ableton Live’s global BPM. The sound engine is based on multiple sine wave oscillators tuned to fixed frequencies, selected through research into frequencies commonly associated with meditative and physiological effects.

The patch allows the user to switch between different frequency sources, shape amplitude over time using an ADSR envelope, and modify the harmonic content through waveshaping and soft saturation. A metro-based system is used to trigger slow transitions rather than rhythmic patterns.

This device was created as part of a collaborative academic project and used directly in a composition. It is intended for ambient music, sound installations, and experimental listening contexts.

I’m sharing both the .maxpat (for full patch access) and the .amxd (for Ableton Live users).

Any feedback, suggestions, or questions are very welcome.

I’m trying to take the values from the third row of a matrixctrl (in dial mode) and use them as weighted probabilities to control how likely the gate opens on each step, but I haven’t been able to figure out which objects would be best for handling the probability logic. Basically the value of the dial for each step determines how likely the gate is open so it triggers the sound.

I'm asking because I can't seem to avoid the clicks when I change the loop start, and it would seem logical to conclude that a gen version of this would be a lot more efficient

is there a gen~ version of grooveduck?
