I was rebuilding one of my old projects and couldn't find a-chaos library binaries for 64-bit Max. So i've recompiled that and here are the links:

zip file ready to be placed in 'packages' folder

Many thanks for the authors of the original code - André Sier, also Richard Dudas and others (see the original source code)

Please let me know about bugs or any errors. Didn't have time to write config for windows build - PRs are welcome

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 really confused: I patched a kick synth which is in a sub patcher. If I trigger it with a bang, it sounds really nice. But if it's triggered by the output of edge~ (which to my understanding is just a bang?) it's sounds really different. The attack of each kick is different, it has this phasey, clicky quality kind of like a free running osc. My first guess was that multiple bangs come in quick succession. I know that's not the case, but this is a bit what it sounds like.

Now the  reason I'm using edge~ here is because I wanted to do some sequencing with signal objects, like a subdiv~ going into a what~ which is then converted by edge~ into a bang. 

To make things even weirder: It only happens with my kick synth. But I'm stuck looking for a problem with this synth, as it works perfectly fine unless I trigger it with edge~. Therefore I won't go into details with this kick synth to avoid making this post unnecessarily long.

I searched the forum before posting this, but all threads regarding edge~ problems referred to edge~ catching the start of a phasor cycle. I appreciate any kind of help or suggestion. 

Is the output of edge~ somehow different to a bang? The attack of my kick sounds weird...

~' 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!

This is an FM kick for use inside poly. I'm using phasor driven cos~s here instead of cycle~s so that the modulating oscillators remain consistent between bangs. When testing inside the patch phasor phase reset works properly but, using it within poly, phase sometimes seems to fail to reset or resets to a wrong value (the mistake persists for a while).

I wonder what could be the issue here or if there is an alternative method to using phasor->cos?

This is part of a series of tutorials on the Husserl3 design. All tutorials in this series:

This time it only took me a couple of hours to convert a polyphonic design into a multiphonic one. This tutorial describes how any number of voices can play different sounds set from any number of channels, with different parameters for each channel. I'll be describing how I'm running 16 MIDI channels with 128 parameters each on any of 32 poly~ voices, but the same technique generalizes to MC.gen~ with any number of voices and any number of parameters, within any available computational limitations. Also this tutorial contains a multiphonic voice allocator patch for MIDI and kslider notes.

While the technique is easy, this is an advanced tutorial that requires at least some acquaintance with Max buffers, pattrstorage, zl objects, gen codebox, Max polyphony, and javascript.

If you're wanting multiphony, really gen~ is the best option. It can do everything the msp~ audio processing objects can, and it is much faster. So first I got a polyphonic design working in a poly~ object in gen~., with all its params stored in pattrstorage.

That meant setting scripting names for all the panel controls, and using the same names for params in gen~, which was the majority of the effort. Using the same monicker for panel obects' scripting names and gen~ Params means for example you can send pattrstorage a 'dump' command and wire its output into gen~ to set Param values.

When I started on the naming thing, I didn't realize how much difference it would really make. Now I can use the same list of param names for javascript panel control, buffer peek/pokes, and midi i/o too. So it was worth the effort.

To convert the polyphonic design to multiphony, first I created a buffer~ called 'programs' with 16 channels, and one sample for each param value, as below. When the patch is closed, the freebang message saves the buffer's state, which is then loaded again when the patch is reopened. This snip also shows how I measure for CPU peaks. When the CPU peak is over 90%, I reduce the number of playing channels automatically.

Screenshot 2021-10-15 223311.jpg

The same buffer can hold multiphonic presets, but it's advisable to arrange them as sequences within the 16 channels, viz., "buffer~ programs -1 16 @samps 12800" for 100 multiphonic presets of 128 params. Max chokes with somewhere around more than 64 channels per buffer, I don't know the exact channel limit, but I tried 32,768 channels in one buffer, and Max was really unhappy about that.

For MIDI I/O and sending parameters to gen~, first I sent a dump message to pattrstorage to print all the script names and used the zl object to concatenate them into a messagebox. I edited the messagebox to create a list of all the param names.

So one can send name/value tuples around with send and receive objects, but each one adds a buffer delay and an additional message in the message queue, so I had painstakingly wired all my panel controls directly to gen~.
