Sorry for the clumsiness of this question. I hope it's understandable.

Is there a straight forward way of using the position and line commands, or some kind of equivalent, of Jit.LCD with a Matrix using float32? Or some way of combining them?

I want to create a counter console. For example, if I pause the playback midway and manually change the min/sec/mili sec number box, or change the "unité ms" number box, I want them to change in sync with each other, so that I can specify the playback point from either side. Also, currently, even if I move the mili sec number box in the min/sec/mili sec section, it doesn't move within the range of 0-999, nor does it increment the value in the sec number box. How can I create a structure where, if I raise mili sec after 999, milisec becomes 0 and sec becomes 1, and if sec is 59, it becomes 0 and min becomes 1? Please give me your opinion.

I am on a MacOS Pro with a USBC connector. Currently when I "print" to only the serial object i recieve 3 ports:

 However I need port c,  which is connected to my arduino board. When I've switched to the patching below it refuses to print any data.  Is there a solution to this? 

Here is the information I am trying to process as a stream of 4 sensor values from ardiuno :


 const int NUM_SENSORS = 4; // e.g., 3 flex sensors, 1 softpot
int sensorPins[NUM_SENSORS] = {A0, A1, A2, A3};

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600); // Keep it standard, or 115200 if you notice lag
}

void loop() {
  for (int i = 0; i < NUM_SENSORS; i++) {
    int value = analogRead(sensorPins[i]);
    Serial.print(value);
    if (i < NUM_SENSORS - 1) {
      Serial.print(" "); // Space-separated values for Max MSP
    }
  }
  Serial.println(); // Newline acts as a carriage return for Max
  delay(20); // ~50Hz refresh rate—plenty fast for hand gestures
}

I feel like this should be easy but for some reason I'm having difficulty sending a list of numbers one at a time in sequential order to a number box.  The big idea is to have a list of 365 numbers in a message box and for them to pop up one at a time in 1 number box, controlled by a metronome.  Anyone know how to do this?

I'm converting some patches to RNBO and noticed that 

 isn't available outside the MSP environment.

 is implemented internally, or have suggestions for a lightweight alternative that sounds similar?

I'm mainly looking for an analog tube-style saturation effect, and I'd be happy to recreate it in 

 if I knew roughly what the algorithm was doing.

Hey everyone,

, a project we've been building at Structure Void over the past few weeks: an open-source multi-host integration of Ableton Link Audio. 

The Max side gives you two MSP externals (void.linkaudio.send~ and void.linkaudio.receive~) packaged as a complete Max package with help patchers, refpages, and a vignette tooltip.

A note on context: I'm guessing Cycling '74 will release their own Link Audio Max package alongside Live 12.4 (May 5, 2026). We wanted to do some R&D of our own on this, exploring how the API behaves across very different hosts, what an open-source multi-host pattern looks like in practice, and how the timing primitives feel when exposed at audio rate vs as messages. The two efforts will coexist nicely, I think.

Thanks Peter for your CDM's post about it :

The Max externals share a single C++ core (`LinkAudioManager`, ring buffer, threading model) that's also deployed across:

 vanilla 0.56-2+ / first public Pd implementation of Link Audio, to our knowledge

 / LinkAudioSend + LinkAudioReceive CHOPs

 / Send / Receive modules in the Structure Void browser category

 / ofxAbletonLinkAudio addon in its own repo

So a Max patch can subscribe to a stem published by a Pd patch on another laptop, all in tempo with VCV running on a third machine. Single-machine inter-app routing also works (replaces BlackHole / Loopback / VB-Cable).

Both objects expose Link timing as audio-rate signal outlets:

Plus R/W attributes for tempo and transport that propagate to all peers on the LAN. Change BPM in Max, every Link peer follows.

The signal-rate choice for outlets is deliberate: it lets you reset a phasor on phase wrap, scrub a sample by beat position, or modulate anything at audio rate from transport state — sub-block precision messages can't give you. Both objects also accept tempo/transport as input messages.
