I'd like to create a patch with a logarithmic frequency scale between 0 and 20 kHz. I move a slider that selects a frequency, and I'd like to animate a second area around that frequency. However, I'd like this area to have a fixed frequency. For example, +/- 500 Hz, so if I'm at 400 Hz, I want this area to be between 0 and 900 Hz, and I want this area to be animated logarithmically.

I've made a first patch, but I can't seem to animate this area logarithmically. It's a real-time scale, and as a result, the animation isn't working properly.

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 ?

Hi! does anyone knows if the clipinfo can be accessed from max? can you extract it from a clip in ableton? i can't see this possibility in the LOM, and was wondering if there is another way...

I'm trying to slice a sample based on transient detection. I currently have a gen~ patch (attached) that detects transients and their position in samples (using accum). 

What I'm struggling to do right now is to tie it to a groove~ position (from 0. to 1.) I've tried using delta~, but I get a lot of noise when I try to move it from MSP to Max world.

So, ideally, I would like to store indexes (slice numbers) inside coll, where each row will contain slice number and position in range of 0. to 1. (rather than in samples).

I need to constrain a UI object to only allow for selection of even numbers between 2 and 254.   Not a hard thing (see patch)...

...but I have additional constraints that need to be considered:

Do I just have to live with the crappy scrollability as in the patch above?

It seems to me that the explanation of hop size in the pfft~ Reference under Overlap Factor is a bit unclear, or at least to me.

Under fftsize right before that, it says:

First, it says that the hop size is the fft size divided by the overlap factor, but then in parentheses, it says that the frame size is to be divided by the overlap factor. But the frame size is only half the fft size (as stated in the second quote).

Assuming, the fft size is 4096 samples, then the size of one spectral frame is 2048 samples. Overlap factor is 4. What would be the hop size? 1024 or 512? 

I have always understood the hop size to refer to the FFT size, not the spectral frame size.

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:

Hi all! I'm currently working on a new package for MaxJitter, called AV Toolbox. The toolbox is a collection of abstractions that I've been using personally for my audiovisual works, and I figured it could be nice to gather those in one package with some proper documentation for others to make use of as well. The latest version of the package is available on github:

The package contains many different types of objects, ranging from signal analysis objects (envelope followers, schmitt trigger, spectrogram) that can be used to control jitter objects, to timeline objects (triggers, automation function) that emit events at specified times in min:sec:ms synced to global transport, to jitter extensions (like objects that initialize with preset attributes for world, node, videoplane, camera and more).

Please find a complete list of the objects in the launch patcher under 

after installing and restarting Max. There is also an extensive example patcher and a link to more extras that are currently not included but available via different github repositories.

💬 Feedback and 🐛 bug-reports are very welcome, please create an issue for them on github or write a comment below.
