Bit of an odd question really but I've been using Max for about 2.5 years now. I've written a huge app that does loads of MIDI processing and a bit of innovative graphics in its interface window (making a clock face out of Dial objects!) but I'm keen to spread my wings a bit more now that the app is finished and working.

So what other programming tools/languages do any of you use for building stuff to use within the Max environment? JavaScript? Python? C++?  Etc. For eample, how easy is it to write code for an external Max object in a different language?

And has anybody ever incorporated Max code into an external programming environment (like Visual Studio) to build a fully linked and compiled application written in C++, for example?

Bit of an odd question really but I've been using Max for about 2.5 years now.

No need to get sore fingers in a programming language. You can easily spend the next 5 years with MSP and Jitter.

I recently studied an episode of Federico's tutorial and it was fantastic!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZvcDGbEbZk 

I made a little modification to his patch by replacing jit.bfg with jit.gl.model so that I could transform the 3D model into a point cloud.

But the result is not very satisfactory, because the point cloud splits into some rectangles according to the position of the vertices of the 3D model.

I want to make the point cloud shape smoother, and I have tried many methods without getting the desired result. Do you have any good suggestions?

My knowledge of [dict] is fairly limited...
How would you, let's say, move all notes of a clip 1 beat ahead ? 
Thanks for the help !

Basically I'm stuck here. In this example, I'm trying to change the velocity of all notes, but I only  manage to 'mutate' one in the end. 


any progress here? struggling with the same problem......
any advice welcome!



I'll try to have a look next week. I've learnt a bit about <dict> since. 

Hi all, this should implement the velocity increase from Chapelier's example:

Hi!
I know this is the kind of topic that a lot of posts in this forum answers, but I can't get the exact information i'm looking for.

I have three colls (could be more) in which I have symbols. 
Ex : 
Coll 1 : 
1, apple;
2, orange;
3, mango;
4, mulberry;

Coll 2 :
1, watermelon;
2, orange;
3, avocado;
4, apple;

Coll 3 :
1, orange;
2, strawberry;
3, papaya;
4, apple;

As you can see, "apple" and "orange" are in each of the colls.
I'd like to populate a new coll with only these two symbols.

I know there are some posts about removing the duplicates, but not so much about keeping the duplicates, and it's often about numbers, maybe I could do something with converting the symbols to ascii and itoa back when the duplicates are filtered but i can't seem to find the exact way of doing this...
Thanks in advance for your help!

get-duplicate-data-from-coll

the zl/list object has modes for getting things in common between two lists.  It works with symbols or numbers.

@Double_UG your approach seem to kind of do it! Thanks! The thing is that it puts every matching symbol on one coll line... But thank you for showing me the zl.sect! 

Here is the example in context using filenames. The filenames that are identical are in bold (the colls will contain a lot of entries) :
Coll 1 :
1, AC_SLATER_bass_loop_pitchy_af_01_128_E.wav;
2, AC_SLATER_drum_fill_akai_127.wav;
3, DD_RAA_77_drums_loops_soul_hat_groove_heavy.wav;
4, UMRU_bass_one_shot_metal_G.wav;
5, DECAP_kick_one_shot_big_bop.wav;

Coll 2 :
1, AC_SLATER_drum_fill_akai_127.wav;
2, DECAP_kick_one_shot_big_bop.wav;
3, MdL_kick_flap.wav;
4, UMRU_bass_one_shot_metal_G.wav;
5, osr_clap_one_shot_high_harsh_malt.wav;


Coll 3 :
1, osr_bass_loop_ring_128_Cm.wav;
2, UMRU_bass_one_shot_808_soft_C.wav;
3, DECAP_melodic_one_shot_dark_windchimes_one_shot_Amin.wav;
4, OAK_loop_ey_bruh_listen_drums_152_Bmaj.wav;
5, DECAP_kick_one_shot_big_bop.wav;
6, UMRU_bass_one_shot_metal_G.wav;

Coll final :
1, DECAP_kick_one_shot_big_bop.wav; 
2, UMRU_bass_one_shot_metal_G.wav;

your coll final should have 3 entries
1, UMRU_bass_one_shot_metal_G.wav;
2, DECAP_kick_one_shot_big_bop.wav;
3, AC_SLATER_drum_fill_akai_127.wav;

That's the thing, I only want the namefiles that are in all 3 colls. I will go check out what you sent, thanks so much for your reply

then you shoul have stated so, instead of duplicates.
If you now say only names that are contained in all 3 colls,
then use zl.sice 2 at output.
In theory, a singe coll could also have repeated names inside,
like :
1, AC_SLATER_bass_loop_pitchy_af_01_128_E.wav;
2, AC_SLATER_bass_loop_pitchy_af_01_128_E.wav;
17, AC_SLATER_bass_loop_pitchy_af_01_128_E.wav;

here is "tripple" detector


OMG @SOURCE AUDIO thank you sooo much!!! Yeah you are right my explanation was missing some key info. I will try and be more precise next time! That's really sweet of you that you took the time! Thank you again!

With the just released 8.0.3 update of Max 8, Node For Max now supports bundling dependencies (aka the node_modules folder) within Collectives, Standalone Applications and Max For Live Devices. In order to give you a jump start into using this feature, this is a short guide on how to do it.

Let’s assume for the following that we are working on a Project called N4M-Bundler.

We start off by opening Max and creating a new Project using the File Menu called N4M-Bundler. In return Max will show us the Project Window, which can be used to organize the project’s files and contents. Since we don’t want Max to try to organize contents automatically, the first thing we’ll do is disable the “Keep Project Folder Organized” option in the Project Inspector. 

To open the Project Inspector use the Project Settings Menu:

In the Project Inspector disable the option "Keep Project Folder Organized":

You can now close the Project Inspector. We will now use the + Button in the bottom left corner in order to add our main patcher to the project by choosing "Add New File…" and creating a Max Patcher called n4m-bundler.main.maxpat

In order to verify what just happened we can use the Finder (Mac) / File Explorer (Windows) and look at the N4M-Bundler folder in the user’s Documents/Max 8/Projects folder. It should now contain a folder called patchers that includes our freshly created n4m-bundler.main.maxpat patcher.

In order to have a place to organize our content for node.script we will also create a folder called node_content next to the patchers folder. Our folder should look something like this: 

N4M-Bundler/
├── patchers/
│ └── n4m-bundler.main.maxpat
└── node_content/

2/ Adding node_content to the Project’s Search Path

In order make the files in our node_content folder available to the project we need to add it to the project’s Search Path. For that click on the Gear Icon in the Project Window and use choose the "Search Paths" option. Max will open another window that allows you to manage the Project's Search Paths.

Using the + Icon at the bottom left of this window we can add another entry, which should give you something like the following:

Now click the Choose Button in that new line and add the node_content folder we created previously. After that you can rename the entry to Node Content but most importantly you have to enable the “Embedded” option. Your Project's Search Path Window should now look similar to this:

We will now create the simple script for this test scenario. For that open the node_content folder in a text editor of your choice and create a file called n4m-bundler.js with the following content:

const Chance = require("chance");
const maxAPI = require("max-api")
const chance = new Chance();

const generateRandomName = async () => {
        const name = chance.name();
        await maxAPI.outlet(name);
};

setInterval(generateRandomName, 1000);

This uses a package called chance to generate a random name every second and outlet it to Max.

4/ Patching everything together and installing the chance module

We will now edit our Project’s main patcher and install the required chance package from NPM. The simple idea is to show the random name in a comment box. Start off by create a node.script instance pointing to our n4m-bundler.js file. Before we do anything else we will install the chance package by sending a message "script npm install chance" to the node.script object:

Once done you should find a node_modules folder and a package-lock.json in the node_content folder and can remove the message from the patcher. If you like, you can use Finder or File Explorer again to verify that your project directory looks something like this:

N4M-Bundler/
├── patchers/
│ └── n4m-bundler.main.maxpat
└── node_content/
│ └── node_modules/
│ │ └── chance/
│ │ └── *** a whole bunch of files ***
│ └── n4m-bundler.js
│ └── package-lock.json

We will now use the prepend and comment objects to show the generated, random name. And add the script start and script stop messages to control our script:

Clicking the script start message should start the script and show a random name in the comment box every second. You can now stop the node.script using script stop.

We have now all the pieces of the puzzle at hand and can build our project. Choose “Build Application” from the File Menu, make sure the Format is set to Application and proceed. Max should now build a Standalone application containing our Patch, Script but also the chance module as a dependency.

The same would be true if we attempt to build either a Collective or a Max For Live Device.

Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions or feedback on this.

node-for-max-bundling-in-collectives-standalones-and-max-for-live-devices

Thank you for your tutorial, but it seems there is something wrong here.

1. You wrote: "We will now create the simple script for this test scenario. For that open the node_content folder in a text editor of your choice and create a file called n4m-bundler.js".  But in the file listing the n4m-bundler.js file is located in the root project folder N4M-Bundler:

N4M-Bundler/
├── patchers/
│ └── n4m-bundler.main.maxpat
└── node_content/
├── node_modules/
│ └── chance/
│ └── *** a whole bunch of files ***
├── package-lock.json
└── n4m-bundler.js

2. You wrote: "We will now edit our Project’s main patcher and install the required chance package from NPM. <...> Once done you should find a node_modules folder and a package-lock.json in the node_content folder and can remove the message from the patcher." But the node_modules folder is created in the project root folder as well and not in the node_content folder:

├── patchers/
│ └── n4m-bundler.main.maxpat
└── node_content/
├── node_modules/
│ └── chance/
│ └── *** a whole bunch of files ***
├── package-lock.json
└── n4m-bundler.js

So, there is a question: why do we need this 'node_content' folder? Looks like the Node For Max bundling works well without creating the additional folder: add main patcher and js-file to the project and then point to the 'node_modules' folder to the project search path.

Can you, please, bring a little light on this issue?

thanks for pointing this. And yeah sorry, it was in fact a mistake in these ASCII folder structures.

If things work for you without the node_content folder: great! However, we do recommend the usage of a separate folder (node_content in this example) for the node related content in projects. The reasons for that are mostly practical. It's easier to find/navigate the Node related content and we provide a sort of space for npm to do it's disk related work (writing/altering node_modules, creating debug logs etc) in order to avoid having it change the project's root folder. Also in more complex cases you'll be including more user authored JS files for Node For Max  that are required/used for your script. This way adding a folder to the project ensures that they will be bundled as well.

Hope that makes sense? Thanks for following up and pointing out the little issue in the folder structures,

Yes, now everything works as expected. Thank you for this useful tutorial!

Hey Florian,

A very detailed guide, thanks. When i run the script npm install <package-name> in my case, axios, the package is installed and the patch does what it's supposed to do, a http request.

However, my finder does not show any package.json or node_modules created. So the npm is installing the packages elsewhere. This would be a problem for bundling and distribution. Any ideas?

glad it's working for you. In terms of the installation location - it's kinda hard to pin that down given the limited information but I can try.  To make sure you don't have any naming conflicts you can send a reveal message to node.script that should show the location of the file in your Finder or File Explorer. Is there a node_modules folder next to the file that gets revealed? If you are facing a naming conflict, we highly recommend namespacing your files, fe n4mtest.index.js where n4mtest would be the project specific namespace.

Fwiw,  npm install will  extend the dependencies of a pre-existing package.json file but not create one (only the package-lock.json gets created). The minimum requirements are a name and version field (you can learn more about the package.json here):

{
  "name": "mypackage",
  "version": "0.1.0"
}

Hope that helps a bit with understanding the functionality of npm install? Curious to see if there is in fact an issue with multiple files having the same name in your search path or if something else is at play.  Let me know and I'm happy to assist further.

Hi Florian,
Thanks for this, super helpful for what I'm trying to do. I'm running into an error where the node_content folder can't be added to the  application, and I'm not sure why.  The Max Console reads as follows...

Successfully built project N4M-Bundler to application.

(emphasis mine)

There are no other errors, and the application opens just fine, but obviously can't find the n4m-bundler.js file. I'm running Windows 10, 64 bit.

I'm at a loss as to why this could be happening and I appreciate your help. 

Thanks!
Stepan

Thanks for the reply Stepan. Please get in touch with our support as we might have to get a copy of your project in order to be able to reproduce the issue.

The issue " STEPAN DYACHKOVSKIY " mentioned is solved?
I have the same problem.

Adding folder node_content
Unable to add node_content!

I'm also running Windows 10, 64bit.
Thanks in advance.

I cannot reproduce the issue here on my end. If you still encounter issues with bundling on Windows please get in touch with our support so we can help you in a more detailed fashion.

Just a quick reply for the others having problems to have a working build on Windows (Max 8.1.3/64 bits).
If you try to build the standalone from the project window (menu : "Manage Project > Build Collective/Application..." ) it doesn't work (you should have the message 'Unable to add node_content!' in the Max Window).
If You build using the menu "File > Build Collective/Application..." in the main patcher window, it works flawlessly.

Hi Florian,
Never got a chance to thank you for writing this.
Just a quick note that second picture caption has a typo: Disbale
And I would like to request this information to be added to Max built-in documentation.
(node.script help patch)

@Omar thanks for the pointer, just fixed the typo. AFAIK the info is bundled with the Max application in the Working with Projects, Max For Live Devices, and Standalones. You can find the same content here:

https://docs.cycling74.com/max8/vignettes/03_n4m_projects_devices 

It would seem that this process is broken on MacOS Monterey. Using the node.script "open folder location" icon, it would seem that all of the javascript files are being sandboxed in a directory in the user library, and none of the node modules are being copied over.

Hi Eric,
thanks for the reply. Was this working successfully before on a different version of macOS?

Would you mind getting in touch with our support with a bit more insight on your project, workflow and version of Max that shows that issue in order for us to be able to investigate further if that's a general issue or something specific?

Thanks
Florian


Yes this is an internal application that we’ve been using since 2018 with previous versions of macOS.

I will reach out to the support team as you requested.

I still have the same issue Eric mentioned, Max 8.3 OSX Monterey. The nmp modules are not copied into  the dir Content/Resources/C74/packages/Node\ for\ Max/source/node_modules/ ,  and the package.json (v. 2.0.4)  does not declare them while  they are into the Project's package.json. So that the app tells that the script can't start (not ready).
Is it already solved in some way ?

why don't you copy files manully ?
At same time you could trash unneeded files from the package....

i wrote a bpatcher which scripts commonly used bpatchers (a multiosc, a sequencer, etc). The obvious problem is that any new bpatchers are generated within the scripting bpatcher, and not into the main patch, at the same hierarchy level as the scripting bpatcher. any ideas here? a thispatcher command which directs the bpatcher to script into the main patch?

hey all! i could use the collective wisdom of the C74 forum.

i am experimenting with building a wavetable synth, where a single cycle of a waveform (sampled from an old analog synth at 192 kHz 24bit) is loaded into [wave~], which is driven by [phasor~]. however, this adds some aliasing to the mix; i can see frequency bands moving downwards on the spectrogram when i increase the frequency. if i put the oscillator in a [poly~] with upsampling, and @resampling set to 1, i get even worse aliasing somehow.

what am i missing? can't figure it out, even though it seems super simple.

attached is an image comparing the spectra of [cycle~], a single cycle of a sine wave loaded into [wave~], and various combinations of the [poly~] upsampling.

aliasing-issues-phasor~-driving-wave~-exhibits-horrible-aliasing

update: it is probably something with my original waveform sample, as addig a phase-inverted sine reveals some "grit" (which i'd like to keep in there, that's why i sampled the old synth in the first place). any ideas how to prevent the aliasing from happening?

upsampling alone does not cause bandlimiting, the upsampling only makes sense in conjunction with a lowpassfilter. 
i dont use it myself, but the built-in poly~ anti-aliasing filters are only related to the downsampling at the output of poly~, it can not know at what frequency you run wave~ at and it can not remove the HF content in the buffer.

to prevent the wave~ object from folding frequencies in the sample at nyquist you would have to bandlimit it before you play it pitched up. 

or in othe words: this is only possible in discrete time.

a labourios but effective method is to bandlimit the sample to nyquist, and one time to nyquist/2, and one time to nyquist/4 and so on... and then read from these different buffers for each octave.

alternatively you could already record an individual sample for each octave, dont filter them at all, and only pitch them downwards. (this will also capture a few other things more from the original instrument compard to using only one sample)


try all this using a bunch of proper cos~ running at different frequencies (2.5k, 5k, 10k, 20k), then you can hear the effect of aliasing - and your attempts to supress it - best.

Thanks for your help and the detailed answers, Roman!

I have checked out some more forum discussions regarding the topic and gathered some more information. (I have seen your name a lot in those threads, haha)

I have tried bandlimiting the sample with three methods; filtering frequencies above Nyquist using a brick-wall filter on the sample file itself, reducing the sample rate of the (already filtered) sample, and by "treating the symptom, not the cause": low-pass filtering the output inside of poly~ containing both phasor~ and wave~. The first two seem to be ineffective, the third option seems to help somewhat if I set the cutoff to 3 kHz-ish, which is uncomfortably low. Am I missing something here?

I have attached a patcher (MAIN_antialiasing_tester.maxpat) where you can try my wavetables and the methods I've tried so far, so you can see my results. Maybe you can spot what I'm not getting right. :)

As Roman says, upsampling using poly~ won't be very helpful here. If you are playing wavetable data back at different pitches, then you are moving through the wavetable's sample data at different speeds. This is a resampling problem, and the aliasing comes (in part) from the discrepancies between the current samplerate, and the rate at which you are moving through the wavetable data. 

There's a few ways to address this. One is to bake a set of waveforms, typically one per octave, each of which is already bandlimited for a certain playback rate, and blend between these according to the current desired pitch. This is like mipmapping in 3D graphics. You also need the math to identify which tables to blend between according to the current pitch, the table resolution, and the sample rate.  

The output can also  be affected by how you sample from the wavetable data itself -- i.e. what kind of interpolation you use. With no interpolation you will get another kind of aliasing. With other basic interpolations (e.g. linear, cubic) you may get an undesirable spectral footprint shaping to the waveform; using a better interpolator (e.g. sinc) with more data points (more samples from the wavetable) will result in a cleaner and more consistent waveform as pitch changes. 

There's a section in the gen~ book (https://cycling74.com/books/go) all about getting antialiased waveforms for arbitrary wavetable data (in 1D, 2D, and 3D), using both of the above methods.  The final example shows using a 16 point sinc interpolation for the interpolation filter, and a mipmap method blending between octaves that is dynamic, meaning that you don't have to pre-bake the octave tables at all.  

moving through the wavetable's sample data at different speeds. This is a resampling problem, and the aliasing comes (in part) from the discrepancies between the current samplerate, and the rate at which you are moving through the wavetable data.

Isn't the @resampling 1 attribute supposed to remedy this? I thought that's what it was designed for.  

I have tried baking a bandlimited waveform to test with, however, this seems to also exhibit some aliasing issues. Someone in the Max/MSP Facebook group pointed out that I might be missing a proper zero-crossing from one of the samples I have issues with (thanks Reaper), so I'll try padding it, to see if that helps. 
(edit: the lack of a proper zero-crossing was not the issue)

I'll try playing around with interpolation! Thanks for that idea!

I'll have to get that book soon! There seems to be a lot of good stuff in there.

Edit: If I do something crazy, like upsample the poly~ 32 times, put a low-pass filter in the poly~ on the output at SR*0.4, and use @resampling 1, the aliasing is a lot less noticeable. I know that this is a band-aid "solution" to the problem, just figured I'd try it for fun.

poly~ @resampling 1 will apply some antialiasing filters to suppress frequencies generated above the filtering frequency, in a kind of brute force way. It should work but if you have to upsample 64x then you have also effectively increased the CPU activity by 64x as well.    

What Roman & I are suggesting is different -- adjusting the bandlimiting & filtering to match the pitch at which you are playing the wavetable.  It is more complicated than just oversampling via poly~, but may be more accurate and efficient in the end.  

Also one last note on bandlimiting -- remember to use your ears more than your eyes! Even if you are seeing some aliasing visible in a spectrogram/sonogram, it doesn't mean it is audible -- and a little bit low amplitude aliasing up near 20kHz is not going to be a problem. 

in either cases consider what onepole~ does: it is only -6db per octave. so if you want to put it at 20kHz, you would proabably want 20 instances of it, not 1.  :)

(4-6 at 11kHz should be fine in practice.)

hi all -
i have a patch that's running at about 25% CPU. when i open sub patches (or send "front" message to a thispatcher in a bpatcher). i get short glitches/crackles in the msp stream when the window opens, and then the dsp seems to operate as normal. is there a way to deprioritize window/gpu so that audio is always more important? something like redraw queue throttle in prefs?
appreciate your thoughts!

Sup gamerss, this is very obscure but on the offchance that somebody in like 5 years is looking for the perlin noise in jsui here you go.

Hello! I've been scratching my head a few hours trying to figure this out. When routing a jit.graph to a jit.window or jit.pwindow, there is also a solid white line present at the zero crossing. Does anyone know if there is a way to stop this line from rendering? jit.catch is capturing the audio from plugin~ and passing it on to jit.graph~ in mode 1. 
After having spent a day looking for the perfect waveform visualization for my needs, this one is by far the most pleasing I've found - except for the line in the middle. 

Does this have anything to do with jitter limitations in max for live? They were mentioned in the documentation for Max 7, but not Max 8.

I would love to know if anyone has any ideas!

Regards, Monapink

Hello everyone. I recently studied an episode of Federico's tutorial and it was fantastic! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZvcDGbEbZk I ...

M4L get a clip's notes and change their start points

I didn't properly dive into it, but thank you very much for taking the time to make the patch, and especially to document it so well.

OMG @SOURCE AUDIO thank you sooo much!!! Yeah you are right my explanation was missing some key info.

why don't you copy files manully ? At same time you could trash unneeded files from the package....

a bpatcher which scripts another patcher in the main patch

edit: adding a send from within bpatcher to main patcher works.

Aliasing issues - [phasor~] driving [wave~] exhibits unwanted aliasing

in either cases consider what onepole~ does: it is only -6db per octave.

dsp glitches when switching windows / opening subpatchers (redraw queue throttle?)

ill try that in a few places!
