I've got a few questions re how Phasor and What behave. Please see the patch attached:

1- When Phasor is turned off while in syncupdate 1 mode, Live.scope shows an incredibly high frequency. This does not happen when syncupdate is 0.

2- What does not seem to work in ascending mode? There's a workaround by using Change, but is there a reason What does not work? Basically, I'd like to get a pulse ONLY when the ramp starts but when I use prob with Subdiv, I get a pulse on ramp start and ramp finish.

3- When increasing tempo, What and Change give me ratcheting pulses. How do I avoid this?

Sorry, I didn't find a better title for this question ! 

But let's say you have 8 audio files loaded in 8 buffers, and you want to find the one with the loudest amplitude peak, normalize it at max, get the corresponding gain, and apply that gain to the 7 other files ?

I have an existing patcher, foobar.maxpat.  In another patcher, I am trying to create an instance of foobar, and assign a scripting name to it at the same time.  I am trying to send the following message to thispatcher:

                  script newobject foobar @varname foobar_name

...but that doesn't work.  I believe the problem is that I need to send the foobar object's 

 the name, but can't remember how do that?

Cycling74 added the rawbytes message to the udpsend object so now we are able to send Art-Net data with vanilla Max9 objects.

Here you can download a simple demo patcher:

- Update time  (common value 25ms = 40Hz)

Successfully tested on a Silicon Mac with an ENTTEC ODE MK2.

I’d like to share a research-oriented project developed at 

real-time data exchange in Max and Max for Live

low-level implementation, stability and performance

, allowing continuous parameters, envelopes, triggers and arbitrary data to circulate between environments with 

very low latency and deterministic timing

, without relying on OSC, MIDI or any network-based protocol.

https://structurevoid.gumroad.com/l/Void-SharedMemory

, the same shared memory layer is accessed via 

, also developed in C++, ensuring a consistent and controlled data pipeline across environments.

This is not a closed or monolithic tool, but a 

: a collection of modular, low-level components developed entirely in-house, designed to be readable, hackable and reusable for advanced Max-based systems.

All components are provided together to support experimentation, inspection and reuse.

 on top of this shared memory layer, and I’m also planning to release an 

 gathering the core externals and related tools, to simplify standalone Max usage.

 Max externals & Touchdesigner CHOPs are provided as universal binaries. Due to current host-level constraints, Max for Live devices are officially supported on Apple Silicon systems.

Happy to discuss implementation details, SDK aspects or Max-oriented workflows.

Thinking about undertaking a complex application in max, involving many patches, subpatches, additional media, externals, supporting files, etc.

 it became clear that the Max Project Manager is probably not up to the task.  I can see how the Project Manager can be useful for small and medium projects that involved a handful of patches and supporting media, but it's not really a DevOps powertool.

I have some ideas, but I'm curious if others have come up with any solutions they can can share?

Hi everybody, i just discovered the existence of the live.api objects and im trying to create a m4l device that observes whenever I press a pad in my drum rack. 

I understand (or at least i think so) how to set the correct path of the device so that live.observer can see it but i cant seem to find the right property to get the value that i need.

Hi all, long time reader, first time poster.

I'm trying to wrap a variety of images around 3d shapes in jitter, but I don't know how to assign a different (or a random) image to each to each iteration of the shape. I'm using the jit.multiple object here.
