I've already posted this on the discord channel and facebook page, but I assume some of us don't use these things, and I feel like this forum is a better place to put my work in, so people can find about it more easily in the future.

So tc.preset is basically a jsui replacement for the preset object, when linked to a pattrstorage, but with extra features:

It comes as a Max package, with full documentation and a helper file.

I know it gets brought up every once in a while, but I thought I'd post again to see what the interest was out there for getting Max working in Linux.

I jump between Mac, Winows, and Linux (Ubunutu) fairly regularly as no single OS can do everything I need under one roof. I teach at a university in physics and recording arts where I use Max, Wavelab, Nuendo, and Live extensively for demonstrations and PowerPoint/Keynote for presenting. I also run a recording/mastering/post studio where I again use Nuendo & Wavelab. But I also run an acoustic R&D company where I use Solidworks, QCAD, and a few other drawing/modeling tools. And lastly I head up an interdisciplinary research collective that mostly uses Max, but also vvvv, Processing, TouchDesigner, Quartz Composer, etc.

But I'm finding that I prefer Linux above Windows and Mac more and more for the sheer speed, customization, and adaptability even though it's by far the least supported for applications which really bums me out. While I'm a big supporter of open source I'm also happy to pay for good commercial software like Max. i just wish Max, and a few others, would run on Linux.

Max is one of the biggest hangups for me to not spend almost all of my time in Linux. PD is a great program, no doubt, but I rely on a lot of the awesome and amazing externals out there and the great Max community (along with a number of other reasons). Even getting Max to run under Wine would be OK, though native support would be much more preferable. But the iLok stuff only works on Mac/Win, even though I use the software key/internet activation.

So I'm interested if there's any other folks out there in the same boat as myself. I know Linux support is a low priority for most commercial companies that are trying squash bugs and be innovative, but I feel like Ubuntu and other flavors are on the rise and have some very cool potential in the multimedia realm (but that could also be just because I've been getting more into it personally). If there's enough of us requesting maybe we could see a Linux release in the future! Anyone else interested in seeing this happen?

, but one super exciting thing this functionality enables is support for the fantastic 

, a huge collection of well written, organized and modular shader code. To that end I'm excited to announce the JitLygia package, which bundles the Lygia library into Max package form, and includes a handful of JXS examples ported over from the Lygia example set.

Simply install from the package manger and you're off. Individual lygia modules can be included in your shader by prefixing the path with 

#include Package:/JitLygia/lygia/animation/easing.glsl"

Included in the huge list of Max 9.1 features is mention of shader #include support. You can read about this in the jit.gl.shader reference...

The patch is suppose to generate a midi note and this part that I am attaching is suppose to alter the note with pitchbend. Since the notes that I am generating have different sustains I want to bend the pitch individually, which would need MPE. I got this working with Xfer Serum, but it won't work with other synths in Live (Wavetable, Opereator, etc) and Serum2. I don't know whats the problem. I want some help.

I’m currently using one [live.toggle] to enable another.  So when Toggle 1 is turned on, it also turns on Toggle 2. However, what I want to do ultimately is this… 

If Toggle 2 was previously in an 'off' state (before being turned on by Toggle 1), I want it to turn back off again when Toggle 1 is turned off. If it was previously in an 'on' state, I want it to remain on when Toggle 1 is turned off.

I can’t help feeling I’m missing something basic here, but it’s been driving me mad for days! 

I’ve been looking at possibly using [col] or [dict] to store all previous states of Toggle 2, then looking one step back in the sequence to find its previous state. I’m wondering though if there’s a simpler way of doing this, or if there’s a specific object (or setting within [live.toggle] itself) that I could use for this sort of thing? Or should I continue on the [col] / [dict] path for this?

After having defined the optimal value of notes, then there is a need to edit those hertz values into music notation system "bach.quantize" mode.

I share the notes and the time measures of a sample song, My request is how will I write it in music note? Here are the notes of the song and its relative time measure.

187 187 187 132 141 141 141 162 168 168 207 213 210 189 165 174 216 222 216 222 216 225 213 207 207

116 117 162 906 116 139 186 464 116 418 140 720 116 627 116 720 789 697 789 395 975 302 116 279 116

the actual tone or tonic of the above sample is 216 or 108. These last group of numbers (the  time measure) can be divided by any constant value.

Hello. I'm very new to max, working in Max for Live, trying to make audio reactive visuals. A lot of tutorials I am seeing are editing jit.gen patches which is not available in m4l. Is there any workaround or alternative for this? I don't have the money to buy the full license rn.
