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:

myself is proving to be a bit beyond me. Is there somewhere I can find a pre-compiled Jitter library for Windows (`jitter.lib`)? I found an old one, but it was for Max 5 or something like that, and I assume that's way too old. If there's something I'm missing that would make all of this a lot easier, I would love to know!

I know that you can fill up a 1 row live.grid with random 0 and 1 values, yet, I'm interested if you can control the density of this randomness somehow?

I mean, if the user sets the "density" to 100%, the whole grid would be filled with 1s.

I'm not sure if I was able to tell what I'm trying to achieve here, but hopefully yes...

Here is a handy patch to zoom/resize dynamically AND edit settings on the fly without ever leaving presentation view.  

Once set, hovering over the various UI objects will report window size to prepare for next action, keeping Max zoom and presentation resizing in sync.  It uses their scripting names to trigger the action.

Open the first patch and drag window around, adjust zoom with menu and INCDEC, click expand tab back and forth.  Everything should stay synced.

To change settings from a locked presentation: click EDIT.

- Drag window around and/or drag height/width to desired INITIAL settings.

- Drag width of window to desire location to desired variable width.

Activating / Deactivating EDIT MODE switches between grow and nogrow window flags, to prevent scrolling while locked.

Also great for finished standalones and Max4Live, to bring zoom/resize functionality to other targets.  Just delete the EDIT button (or remove from presentation view) when set.

NOTE: when back in patching view, don't forget to enable disable grow/nogrow windowflags as needed.

Also a little hidden feature... ZOOMZOOM... when Max's idea of 100% just isn't enough.  Just enter a float factor so that your "100%" can be whatever you want, regardless of actual patch zoom.

Two patches attached. One expanded example with annotations and one clean-ish encapsulated version with EDIT MODE in a popup window.  The second version is easier to drop into existing patches or as a template to start a patch from scratch with the features already baked in.

I hope someone can get some good use out of this. Bit of a mess, but it works great so far.   Many thanks for all the incredible help provided here in the forum. It's nice to contribute back.  Many thanks to Joe Kaplan, whose JS window offset saved the day.

I have this test patch and trying to have a multichannel patch as it's entire thing used in a poly environment meaning e.g. thereby using 10 channels in the mc environment in let's say 10 different poly voices/instances.

I'm running into issues with voice allocations, specifically that my upon sending another midi note, the entire envelope retriggers from the start. How do I remove that? 

I see that the "thispoly" object seems to play a role here. I cannot grasp it's proper use as of now, even though I read through the help patches.

I've been building a poly synth that supposed to incorprate both substractive synthesis and granular synthesis. Essentialy the idea is to have two synths running in parallel and then add them together to get a combination of both. The granular "voice" is based on Oliver Thurleys granular tutorial, but I've really been struggling to make it truly polyphonic, as the poly object he uses generates the actual cloud of the grains, rather than doing what it's "supposed to" by allowing the playing of chords. If anyone has any ideas on how to solve this please let me know!
