I'm working since several weeks on a RNBO patch.

I noticed that on my Max, something was weird with the sync outlet of the groove~ object. I set the @syncmode to 2, which is supposed to output ms (milliseconds) to indicate the current position of the groove reading a buffer in realtime.

But the numbers flowing out of the groove are not the real milliseconds : the flow is much slower.

I compared the flow with a real-time clock using elapsed~, and snapshot~, and when I banged the two flows simulteanously I had 275 out of the groove~ while the clock was at  57471 (you can see the example at the picture below).

I tried with synctype 0 or 1, and I also tried by outputting samples re-converted to ms, but the problem was the same.

I tried this inside of different patches, to see if the issue was an overflow from my patch that starts to be quite complex, but the example above is from an empty patch..

Do you know where the problem might come from?

This is a bit of a niche question, but does anybody happen to know what text encoding system jit.gl.text uses to read from matrices for numbers outside the ascii printable character range? Everything from 33 to 126 outputs the correct corresponding ascii character, but I can't find any information about the higher numbers. 229 outputs a Chinese character; 239 outputs a Korean character; neither outputs are particularly common characters - so far the output seems completely random. Just to check these weren't somehow unicode, I also sent in matrix information encoded in three layers, but found that only changing the first layer char input actually modified the output. I know jit.gl.text can display any character (including non-alphabet characters) directly from a text message object; however, I specifically in this case need it to read from a matrix. 

Asian characters do also give, according to atoi, five-number unicode codes (for example, 日 outputs 26085). I tried changing the matrix data type but jit.gl.text only accepts char, so this five-number string can't be inputted anyways. I don't know of any standard which encodes Asian characters as char (literally impossible given the 1-byte limit), so I'm not sure what else can be done beyond the aforementioned (failed) strategy of sending multiple layers. A bit stuck on this one.

I'm wondering there are any common Max For Live devices that accomplish the following very simple thing -- same as Shaper MIDI, but instead of being a MIDI effect triggered by the current track's MIDI events, it is an audio effect which has a sidechain option (kind of like how Corpus, or Auto Shift in Live 12 Beta, allows a MIDI sidechain option).

So, for example, I could have some audio sample playing on Track 1 with this audio effect on it mapped to a Dry/Wet knob on a reverb, then have a MIDI Track 2 where I'm playing some rhythm from a controller, causing the reverb on Track 1 to swell according to my playing.

The same question would apply to the Shaper audio effect, which could also benefit from a sidechain.

This seems like such a basic functionality that maybe it's already included in Ableton and I've just missed it? If not, I might take this up as a intro challenge for coding Max For Live devices myself.

I tried multiple things but it always ends up clunky and/or not functioning. I try to make a drum sequencer, it will issue bangs for synth drum voices and I'd like to control the velocity of each drum voice, on each step.

live.step is great for a single-voice sequencer but for 4, 8, or 16 voices, I'd have to put these in a "p" and go to each subpatch each time I want to change the sequence, it's just really not practical.

I am using a coll object to create "segments" of audio files so they can be played in various sequences. sometimes, I need to adjust where a segment starts to match a transient. The patch I have attached chooses the segment to edit... and makes adjustments to the coll data with respects to the current "start" time and preceding "end" time for coherence of the ictus of the sound segment. 

I am wondering if it's possible to adjust ALL values in a column below a specific address at once... in this example i would like to adjust all values so the adjustment happening in this patch can plus or minus each of those values relative. Thanks.

Hi, I'm currently configuring a large multichannel setup and ran into some strange behavior where Max lost the ability to play audio in the speaker dome.  

The setup is as follows: Max 8 (on a macOS v14.7.1)  -->  RME Fireface UFX III  -->  RME AD6432 (via coaxial MADI)  -->  multiple Genelec 8330 (via AES/EBU)

 Anyhow, after a bit of troubleshooting, I realized that all of my MADI channels (outputs 31 - 94) on the UFX switched from MADI 1 - 64 to "OFF" in the I/O Mappings window.  I'm not sure if this is perhaps relevant, but I've been testing different active USB extension cables, and had just tried one that the RME didn't like at all (my computer didn't even see the UFX anymore).

I want a very simple way to forward midi from one port to another with the lowest latency possible.

If I just have a midiin connected to a midiout, is there a way to prioritize latency and jitter?

Does the i/o vector size matter? does the audio interface matter? Do I need audio turned on?

Yesterday, I could send datas from Max/Msp to my all 10 devices  ESP32 via a router 

But today I have this error sadam.udpSender: No route to host

I remove sadam libray and install it again.

I reset my router and set it again.  But no changes. 

It's very very rare that I have this problem. Usually I restart my computer and everything works. Could it be a network configuration problem in sequoia ?
