I'm slightly stumped as to how best proceed in making this FM synth polyphonic; if anyone could point me in the right direction or suggest some patchers to look at that would be greatly appreciated!

There is no documentation anywhere, so I have no idea what intended behavior is.

I cannot figure out for the life of me the relationship between "Follow Live Theme" in any setting and my M4L device which gets completely re-styled every time I switch the "Color Theme".

In the past changing theme would change the colors of the things like the window frames, and Max console without affecting the patcher window.  Now I find no way to change the general GUI elements independently of the patches/devices I'm working on.

There is no documentation anywhere, so I have no idea what intended behavior is.

I cannot figure out for the life of me the relationship...

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. 

Basically, i need to look more closely at 'oneshot' in general, plus default initialization, and some recording-fade/declick details

The de-clicking for recording-over-play crossover is probably as good as i can get it for now(i tried other sharper fade-curves and they don't necessarily work better at higher speeds, i've found this simple-cosine-based fader is the best trade-off for more widespread contexts).

But feel free to report any bugs/issues you find, do try to focus more on those which you can reproduce to some extent: even 2-out-of-every-7 tries is a good reproducible frequency(if you get something even closely reproducible, list me the steps to repro and i'll do my best to fix).

Hiello!

I'm interested in knowing if someone has ported André Sier's Chaos Library (A-Chaos Lib) to Max 7 or intends to do.

Hi,

It seems to me that the explanation of hop size in the pfft~ Reference under Overlap Factor is a bit unclear, or at least to me.

Under fftsize right before that, it says:

First, it says that the hop size is the fft size divided by the overlap factor, but then in parentheses, it says that the frame size is to be divided by the overlap factor. But the frame size is only half the fft size (as stated in the second quote).
