I have group of data representing 3 values: a time measure number, a note and time in ms (its value is (* 0.001)).

The active value is listed as “time measure, the note and time in ms”,

The operation needed is to eliminate one of the 2 consecutive equal notes. These repeated values are caused by Max software due to false or law alert of loudness issue (markers or partials).

The result should be to create an alert blink on one button note that have same value. This alert button will enable the user to manually decide to delete the repeated note.

The system should consider also to add new set of data (time-measure, note and time in ms) in case it was ignored by the system due to law value in loudness.

After the process of adding or deleting issue, the system should collect the 3 values in the order list: time-measure, note and time in ms. And finally, this group should be collected into the “coll” object.

beside making music with capacitive mushrooms driving karplus strong within a pi's RNBO export, I'm now focusing on a new feature for my late developments for a new a+v live performance.

Using OpenFrameworks for generative & procedural visuals is a strong way I already work with for many projects. I'm talking about agents drawing on the screens, different rules & contexts etc.

I built a small but efficient system for having different context, using OSC from Max for control purposes etc. Very cool.

Textures traveling through Syphon. Solid... on the paper side.

Actually, I cannot have a constant fps on Jitter's side and the classic (but sometimes too much theoretical) moving element from left to right is PERFECTLY drawn on OF side BUT on Jitter side... some subtle but visible stutter effect. I mean... the circle travel sometimes jitter a very bit at slow speed. 

Most noticeable at 1080p than 720p and yes that could be performances problem too (M1 Max 64Gb) but OF side is really showing a ... PERFECT movement. Even with A LOT of circles etc.

Overdrive + Scheduler in Audio Interrupt enabled (tried also to disable them)

I'm wring through FBO on OF. Very conventional.

Max/Jitter pulling Syphon textures asynchronously

 within its UI scheduler, while openFrameworks pushes frames at its own perfectly stable GPU clock.

 lacks frame-perfect sync, causing micro jitter even at high FPS.

My question: should I expect a better quality rendering with any stutter or that way, if some tested it, always involves this kind of things ?

Shouldn't I instanciate syphon things on Max side on a different way ?

Let me know if you want variants for your forum posts or internal notes.

Any ideas, words, discussions around it would be very cool :-)

I've got a standalone app I've built in 8.2.0 and running on a Mac Mini M1 processor. When i run the standalone on the mac mini, I get the security "app would like to use the microphone" prompt on every start of the application, despite my having granted it, and every change i make to the audio status also brings up this prompt. if i quit out of the standalone, and check security preferences, i can see my standalone has been granted access to the microphone, but it still prompts me every start and every driver change i make.

Hey Jake! I can repro here and we will investigate. It just seems to be a problem on Big Sur (as far as I can tell).

hey Ben. yes--can confirm the security stuff is not an issue on my Mojave machine.

Hi, I think Big Sur tightens up security a bit more than Catalina and insists on a code-signed and properly entitled application for some types of persistent security permissions (like mic or camera). It's unclear from your post whether your app is signed/entitled with the "com.apple.security.device.audio-input" key set to true.

In case helpful, steps for code signing your standalone application are outlined here:
https://cycling74.com/articles/max-8-1-mac-os-10-15-catalina-support-and-notarization

thanks pals for this help. it's been a minute since i've bundled to a standalone and didn't realize Apple had gotten so touchy. will attempt to code sign and try again.
jk

I'm having issues distributing a standalone using a fork of an external (max-ble) which I compile myself.
I'm actually building the standalone on a 2015 macbook pro running catalina, and it doesn't work as expected on a recent M1 macbook running mac os 11, which of course I don't have access to.
I was still using Max 8.1.11 and everything worked fine except the scanning of BLE devices ([max-ble] seemed to work correctly but couldn't find any device), so I gave a try with Max 8.2.2 and apparently it doesn't even open any window anymore, except the console which doesn't display anything.
For information, I distribute the standalone by zipping it and uploading it to a public folder on my server.

Enabling the "rosetta" option on the standalone from the M1 apparently doesn't help in any case.

As suggested by Joshua, I tried to sign the standalone with the following Entitlements.plist file :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>com.apple.security.device.bluetooth<;/key>
    <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

using the following command line :
codesign -s <my_developer_id> --options runtime --timestamp --force --deep --entitlements ./Entitlements.plist -f <my_standalone_path>

But then when I open the standalone on my machine, no object is found, everything is red and I get a load of error messages in the console, which seems to indicate that my entitlements somehow override default entitlements applied during the standalone build process.
Any further hints on the use of an entitlements file to sign a standalone ?
Any other advice would be much appreciated too.

It looks like things were going better with Max 8.1.11 (and the standalone size was much smaller : 64 Mo with Max 8.1.11 compared to 235 Mo with Max 8.2.2), so meanwhile I'll give another try with it and double check with my standalone user if he didn't do anything that could have prevented BLE devices to be discoverable.

Please post your patch. Empty messages box doesn't broadcast anything when clicked ('cause it is nothing to broadcast), so - from this point of view - the problem seems to be more philosophical than technical ;-)

Is there a way to dynamically script add UI objects to a patch, such that their visual parameters are already set?  Like if I wanted to add a number box, but have the arrow not showing, the background a certain color, size a specific size, etc..?  

Or do I have to create a "default" one first, and then script modify it after it's created?

I know that Volker Böhm had taken a crack at it, but the help files are missing, so I am a little bit at a loss.  Has anyone been able to update these?  Please let me know.  Volker provided a download for what he did in 2021, but, as I said, without help files.  I suppose it wouldn't be too crazy for me to go back to one of my old laptops that may have the old versions installed.  I haven't tried downloading the old version that last worked on Max 6 to see if I could transfer the help files.  I haven't been using Max/MSP for quite awhile, but that might also be a way to go.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.  Best, John

tl;dr: I have a jweb object in my patcher with a custom UI implemented as a webpage, but it's unusable since keypresses get passed through to Live, so for instance if you hit spacebar, it does input a spacebar in the jweb page's textarea, but it also sends play/pause through to Live.

Is there a setting or a workaround to make this work?

Interestingly, if you set jweb render mode to "onscreen", every single keypress is passed to both the patcher and Live (i.e. pressing "a" inputs an "a" in the jweb page but also toggles Automation Mode in Live), but if you set jweb render mode to "offscreen", most keypresses are 

 passed through to Live, but spacebar is. In all cases, command shortcuts are intercepted and don't work in the jweb page (i.e. you can't press cmd+c to copy in the jweb page, nothing happens).

I've tried using JS to capture keypress events and do preventDefault and stopPropagation, but that doesn't help.

This happens in patcher popouts too, and I've tried various window flags like float, but it doesn't help.
