I have a group of controls inside of a bpatcher. Is it possible to duplicate several of these and create a switcher?

For instance, I'd like a GUI with 4 envelopes but a button that can select "ADSR 1, ADSR 2," etc.

Been trying to figure out the max length of gen~'s [data] operator array, and it seems like i can't make it work with more than 512 samples (like 1024). While i've read that's the default value, but I didn't expect it to be also the maximum number.  Is it only me, or is that really it?

I wonder why when I'm using it with wave operator and buffer (which takes in  waveform drawn in multi slider), it keeps trimming the waveform halfway at 512...

I am looking for someone to help me with recreating this Sennheiser VSM-201 emulation as a Max4Live device.  A vocoding wizard YouTuber by the name of Cmyth created it on Reaper:

I reached out to this person directly to see if he would be able to recreate this in Ableton, which he attempted to do but it didn't come out quite right.  I still have the Ableton project file that he sent me if it would be helpful to look at.  Luckily, in the YouTube video, while Cmyth demonstrates his vocoder he explains what is going on under the hood a bit. 

There are a few plugins that are used to create this sound, including Fab Filter Pro Q 3.  The other plugins he used are free, but Pro Q 3 is not.  I imagine these plugins may have to be built into the Max4Live plugin to work.  I am a Mac user, so whichever third party plugins may be used in this recreation must be Mac compatible. 

If anybody feels this is doable please reach out!

I'm having no luck setting up aftertouch and poly-pressure in the built-in midi mappings panel. 

In the source field we have NOTE# and CC# entries but POLY# PRESSURE# and other variations I've tried aren't recognized as options.  

Is there an existing source name we can use to get these to work, or is this feature hopefully planned for a future release?

(Not difficult to use standard patching to work around this but would prefer to have the option)

I'm trying to select a list of data with [switch] controlled with the knob at the right top.

But I have a bug, the data list is not good. I guess I need to refresh the data just before changing data.

I would like to retrieve an indicator (float) on the frequency content of my audio.

That is to say that for a silence it would be at 0 and for a white noise, almost at 1. When the music is loaded in frequency, it is close to 1 and when it is more "calm", it is closer to 0.

I watched the tutorials on fft~ but I can't figure out how to get an indicator, a float that I can process in the rest of my patch. Could you tell me how I could do it.

I want to capture the value that a dial will take via automation when the live loop jumps back.

This is so I can send a program change device to a drum machine that needs a little advance warning about upcoming program changes.

How can I have maxforlive look ahead (well actually behind) and find that value?

Hello everyone, I’m quite new to Max. I’m wondering if there’s a real-time feature that allows me to displace 3D objects in Max (similar to the Blender modifier). It would be great if this feature could also be applied with a (noise-)texture.

I’m planning to create a patch that enables me to displace a 3D scan of myself based on the movement of my hands and fingers. I want to be able to squish and stretch the object accordingly.

when using MAX on my macbook or 1440p display I find the font of the documentation, menus, completions, etc... uncomfortable small. I have to always sit directly in front of the screen to be able to read stuff nicely. 

I would like to make all interfaces bigger!

I see that you can scale the patcher window but I don't se an option to scale the MAX interface. Is there a way to do this other than scaling the resolution for my whole system?

), we thought it was time to look again at custom UI creation with Javascript. We invited four talented Max artists to each create a unique UI element using with Javascript. I hope these inspire you to try coding your own experiments.

"Haiku" combines Estevan's interests in writing, design and music. It's a generative poem with field recordings and music built in Max9, using the new v8ui object.

Bumps is an exploration of isometric projection and interface animation.

Developed by Takuma Matsui of Rainbow Circuit.

Drag, wiggle, click and listen. Music in the style of SND.

In this patch I wanted to "patch" as little as possible, shifting focus to how useful JavaScript is within Max.

As a frontend for Gen~, JSUI is here used to represent parameters of the sound and pattern generation.

The patch is a MIDI sequencer built around two components, a system for the playback of notes (SPIN / SHAPE), and a system for selecting the notes to be played (NOTE / WINDOW).

SPIN / SHAPE is a shape that spins around. I wanted something that could produce interesting results but could still be understood intuitively, so I made a polygon and arranged the steps of the sequencer in a circle around it. The notes are triggered when the corners of the polygon pass by a step in the sequence, since the shape must have at least 3 (and up to 8) corners, we are always playing the sequence from 3 - 8 positions simultaneously.

The number of steps in the sequence is variable too, while the rate of rotation is constant, so changing either the number of steps or the number of corners will effect both the order of notes as well as the speed at which they are played. Playing an 8 step sequence with a 7 sided polygon for example, will cause the sequence to play in reverse, while the same polygon playing a 6 step sequence will play in the opposite direction at a proportionally slower speed. A square playing an 8 step sequence will alternate between two 4-note chords. Clicking on an individual step will mute it.

NOTE / WINDOW is even more simple, it is a sequence of 16 steps laid out in the normal way with one distinguishing feature, a rectangular window that highlights some or all of the notes. The size of the window corresponds to the number of steps used by the sequencer. Only the notes within the window will be played, and clicking another area will move the window, changing the notes. This allows you to make quick adjustments to the sequence, making it a bit closer to a thing that you play as opposed to a thing that you program. Incoming MIDI notes are recorded into the window, if a note already exists on that step it will be overwritten, notes outside the window will not be affected.

Basically you can record a bunch of notes then navigate around them, sending a smaller subset of notes to the sequencer, which will rearrange them into a wide variety of potentially serendipitous patterns. The process is hard to explain, but hopefully you never really have to think about it because it makes a kind of intuitive visual sense.
