I'm entering the jit.gl.pix realm and feel a bit lost...

I want to do something I guess simple : changing the saturation of an image (still image, but i guess it would be the same thing with a video clip) using [jit.gl.pix].

I've seen that jit?gl.pix accepts a [brcosa] object but I have no idea how to control it.

I can' find ressources about handling those objects in [jit.gl.pix], even not a list of the objects you can use within [jit.gl.pix].

I am in the middle of writing a piece that require live triggering of sound. I was going to put this into QLab, but did not realise how much it is! Would anyone please be able to help me to build a patch where a midi pedal can cue audio sounds. I also want the patch to fade out the previous sound whilst the next one is coming in. I have not used Max in a while, so my brain is a little rusty!

hi, I'm working on a spectral delay and I don't understand why we need these objects there: can somebody explain what happens with the imaginary values? I don't understand framedelta, phasewrap and frameaccum. What happens there and why?

Also what's the difference between using a feedback directly from tapout into tapin and the way it's setup now from poltocar to cartopol?

I'd like to get the currently playing clip name. I have no problem getting the name of a session clip, but I want to keep track of the currently playing clip, either in session or in arrangement.

The only way I see for now to get the clip currently playing in arrangement would be to get all arrangement clip ids, get the current transport time, and check for all of them if the current time fits into the starting and end points. That can't be that twisted, can it ?

I am encountering an issue of repetitive crashes on a windows machine with a project, which was/is designed on a mac, however. I cannot put my finger on why the patches crash Max on windows, possibly a driver problem. 

In trying to find out and deferring all manner of initialisation routines one after the other, the only bizarre behaviour I am noticing is that once everything is ready and I enable DSP, the

While I still don't know whether this is the problem leading to the crashes after start, I do wonder why this is and how to tackle it. 

I do suspect some extra initialisation and DSP-recompilation caused by numerous

The Book, "'Electronic Music and Sound Design',  Max8 Vol1" is an incredible and helpful text.

The Book cover has  patcher image showing a 'Spectraplot' image.

I am looking for direction in how to achieve this - I would like to view harmonic and noise content with axis enumeration as this image shows.

I'm looking for tips and experiences how best to go about controlling specific M4L devices from TouchOSC. This is based on stuff working in Max that I want to port to Live.  I'm not so familiar yet with the LOM and so on, and am happy about all general pointers, too.

My starting point is (left part of the diagram below):
