I'm building a circular looper in Max using buffer~ / groove~ / record~. 

Everything works except the overdub behavior: when I activate overdub, record~ always restarts writing from the beginning of the buffer instead of following the current playhead position of groove~.

I understand this is the native behavior of record~ when it receives an int 1 on inlet 0. The toggle driving the overdub is connected directly to record~ inlet 0, which causes the reset.

Removing the toggle record connection and using gate~ to control the audio signal instead

Using poke~ with the sync output of groove~ multiplied by the buffer size in samples

Neither approach worked correctly in my setup. 

The gate~ approach still has issues, and the poke~ approach introduced other problems.

The patch is a stereo looper with blend control (sound-on-sound style), tape noise via gen~, and wow/flutter. I'm attaching a screenshot.

The question: what is the correct, reliable way to overdub into a buffer~ following the exact playhead position of groove~, without resetting the write position on activation?

Any working example or approach would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

I'm quite new in Max/MSP and I think I started with a complex topic! I've recorded a session with a dancer in Mocap and I received a CSV file (since my spat5.~ apparently recorded only one circular azimuth in OSC) and I found a topic here to put a csv file into coll. 

I'm kinda stuck since I've not so much experience with Max and I'm struggling to find solutions to my problems. To explain myself: I'd love to use the data from the dancer to control sounds in max. I guess the path CSV --> COLL --> OSC---> SOUNDS is what I got till now. 

Any help? I find this extremely interesting, but maybe it's too advanced for me now without any help. I attach the patch I'm working on. 

Many thanks to anyone who could help me!

 with a specific JavaScript-file, using the following line in an 

max define jsargs_parse v8 @filename jsargs_parse.js;

the object is correctly created as an instance of v8 with the file loaded.

skip the first/initial argument in this case

 happen when the object is instantiated as v8 or js manually. 

Seeing that this is likely not intended and since, of course, the first argument needs to be present for any other argument to be interpreted, I assume this is a bug — unless there is a native way to fetch the first argument, that I am unaware of.

Hello Maxers, I'm working on pieces for improvised saxophone and Max for my PhD, and would love to hear of favourite or interesting performers doing similar work for prior art research. I am particularly interested in works that use any of algorithmic transformations of the audio, improvisation, gestural controls, and computer assisted composition, especially in Lisp. But really, any cool Max + acoustic instrument stuff would be great!
