I am currently working on a custom tab button.


I am working on multiple Max For Live devices, but this is not necessarily related to M4L. 

I need a custom tab button where I can freely arrange the tab buttons.

I send the tab selection through send/receive from my MasterDevice to a SubDevice_n  – back and forth in both directions.

Both devices need to be able to change the value.

Of course there is no loop allowed, but SubDevice_n can not make use of "set" value.

I switch between SubDevice_1, SubDevice_2, SubDevice_3, ...    Everytime I switch the device, all my tab objects need to be set to the last values of the current device.

In the end I will have about 20 tab objects with 25 tab buttons each in my MasterDevice and equivalent 20 dials in my sub devices.

I came up with this, which works perfectly. It is important to use the INITIALIZE button.

Tab Object within an example of what I need:

Sadly when implemented within my greater patch with 20 tab objects and 25 tabs, it absolutely kills my performance when switching between devices and triggering all 500 buttons at the same time.

Does anyone come up with an easier and better performing solution?

custom-tab-button

could you explain the logic in somewhat simpler relations ?
maybe I had more wine then allowed for this task, but I can't
see through the depenencies between tabs, devices , set or updated values, who controls what ? 
"master" seems to have stubborn 4 fields which are either all on or off ?

at the end - 500 GUI elements is not what you want.
Can you organise that 500 values to be controlled and updated
hidden, without any automation and other slowups from live system,
and bring only stuff needed to be visible to front ?

if I see it right you need 20 tabs, each having 25 buttons.
Maybe they controll something internally, separated, irrelevant,
but as you say :
every tab that is currenty visible, sets values for all other tabs ????
That would mean all 20 tabs share same button selection, no matter which of 20 tabs is in control.




To make the patch work you need to use the initialize button first!

I have just updated the patch with some additions to make everything more clear.  
Also you can use presentation view to better understand how it is supposed to work.

In the end I will have indeed 20 different tab objects with 25 buttons each and 500 UI elements with at least 264 visible at the same time. There can be the possibility to change that part of my project idea, but right now I am trying to find a fix.

I will think about your other questions and hopyfully come back with more feedback, but for right now I want to give your the opportunity to understand the problem. ;)

Also here is a patch with just the tab object. Because I think this is the part that needs improvement:

So to be clear, when you mean "tab" buttons you mean a set of buttons of which only one can be non-zero at a time (and also one MUST be non-zero at a time)?   And your desire is for them be arranged in positions on the screen other than what [live.tab] or [tab] object allow?

This seems like a case where, if at all possible, you want to code this in a typed language like JS rather than Max (especially for the number of objects you're talking about... loading lots of M4L devices that have tons of Max objects in them will always be much slower than equivalent code in JS).

But in Max you could save yourself some complexity and objects with a few tricks.  This would be easier to implement and scale better to the quantity of buttons you're looking at.

this is either impossible or i am not seeing the most obvious things.

when i implement a copy-and-paste function within the max runtime, i can use global places for data storage - and  in many cases (named jit.matrix, buffer~, or coll objects) even just refer to the source or read it out from there.

max also can copy selected canvas content or selected text into the OS clipbard.

but is there a way how to copy from a jitter matrix to the OS clipboard? to copy-and-paste still images to photoshop? 

i have reasons to avoid using the SSD/HDD and, unlike some other graphics apps, photoshop also wont support OSC networking or audio input or whatever could be abused to send data around.

this is either impossible or i am not seeing the most obvious things.
when i implement a copy-and-paste function within the max runtime, i ... 

matrix-to-clipboard

AFAIK there's no built-in copy-and-paste function for jitter matrices.
If you need something similar, while staying in the Max domain, you can try with the object [grab]:

If wrapped around some scripting, it works pretty well:

the grab example is a fun idea, i like that.

for images smaller than my monitor i thought could maybe print it in a pwindow and then copy the pwindow object into the clipboard. this usually works for GUI externals and including they content (pictures, lcd...) 
but it does not work for pcontrol, because you have to unlock the patch to copy and then the matrix ends up black (or did i do something wrong? yes, i know that in older jitter versions onscreen and no buffering was default.) 

right now i am experimenting with making screenshots of the pwindow using jit.desktop. it can of course only write files. but this would be the right object to have it write to the OS clipboard...

and then there is the good old problem that you can not so easily produce "Command-C" programmatically.

otoh i came to the conclusion that using the clipboard for picture data has disadvantages i couldnt live with anyway: it would crop qualities higher than 8 bit and it eventually also applies compression.

a "send to" or "edit in" like present in many major applications would be great to have. of course i know that using max does _not mean working with image or text douments.

ah, i see.
Maybe you can experiment with the [shell] object and some terminal wizardry to programmatically take a snapshot of the portion of the screen you care about (retrieving the position and size of the object on screen) and copy it to the clipboard.
Or, if you want to copy the content of a jit.matrix, you can save the image and copy its content to the clipboard from the saved file.

Here there are some ways to do it:

Hi all, I'm using the RNBO JUCE template to build a simple stereo echo. Once built, the VST is categorized in Reaper as a VSTi. It should be a VST effect, not an instrument. I'm wondering if there's a way to specify this somewhere in the C++ code.

As a side question, I'm suspecting that there's a functional difference between VST and VSTi. My echo has a wet/dry mix. In Reaper, when set to 100%, I'm still hearing the dry signal. When testing in Max, 100% wet totally blocks the dry signal. Can anyone confirm that this is the expected behavior for VSTi? I'm hoping that if I can specify my build as a VST effect that the 100% wet mix will function correctly.

Hi all, I'm using the RNBO JUCE template to build a simple stereo echo. Once built, the VST is categorized in Reaper as a VSTi. 

rnbo-building-vst-effect-vs-vsti

i dont know offhand where, but yes, instrument or effect it is an attribute of VST plug-ins.

i think it is called IsInstrument (just like the message for the call in the max object) and you should find it under PlugInCharacteristics in JUCE.

the main difference is where they show up in some hosts and that instruments did not support audio-in (at least that was true for VST 2.x)

i have hacked most instruments in classic MacOS the other way round back in the days; to make them show up as effects - so that i can open more instruments than the host program suggested. it is a single byte you have to change, so you can also do it later in the build (if you know where to look)

regarding audio through options, every host handles that different. many DAWs for example have special send effects slots, while vst~ in max is of course always an insert effect.

if you implement a custom send effects routine in max, the "pass audio when plug-in is turned off" option of vst~ does no longer make any sense.


Thanks Roman! I'm looking at PluginCharacteristics now and everything is unchecked (including "Plugin is a synth"). Additionally, under Plugin VST3 Category "Fx" is selected. Searching through the generated code, I see many instances of IsInstrument = false. So, I'm still perplexed.

Hi all, I believe you are looking for line 24 in Plugin.cmake, where you can change IS_SYNTH to FALSE in order to build an effect rather than an instrument. 

Let me know if this gets you where you need to go...

I have been controlling my visuals using the window size message to thispatcher to view my patches in full screen. I don't use the normal fullscreen message because it creates a new desktop element, and then I can't automate from a ableton which desktop i show in my live performances (using mission control shortcuts to change to a specified desktop on second monitor for example).
here's the method I've been using

I'm not sure why, but it does not work anymore 
I'm testing it on live 11.2.11 using max 8.5.4 (i'm a m4L user)
When you try to locate a patch window exactly on the upper left window of the screen (0 0 screenX screenY) it does not work, the patch locates itself  always showing the menu and window elements so the patch content is not situated exactly as the coordinates try...
Does anyone knows why? am I missing something obvious? (it's been some months since I used the code)
thanks

I have been controlling my visuals using the window size message to thispatcher to view my patches in full screen. 

patch-on-full-screen-it-does-not-work-anymore-changes-in-max

OK, it must be a change in max 
with live 11.2.11 using max 8.5.4 or package max version don't work
with live 11.2.11 using max 8.3.1 it works
Does any one knows the reason behind this change in window patch location possibilities?


thanks for the clear patch. I can reproduce the unexpected behavior with Max 8.5. We will ticket and investigate a fix.

Thanks! 
I understand that changing the window coordinates can move the windows sometimes outside the user control, but regarding the full screen options i think it's a great feature as you can see, compared to the normal "fullscreen $1" option


As of 8.5.6 this situation should be fixed, please give it a look and let us know.

Hello, sorry for the delay...
I've just tested in m4L with 8.5.6 and live 11.2.11 and works perfect! 
thanks

Does anyone here know how to update multiple attributes at once within RNBO? I've tried attrui at the Max-level, but even that only allows one property change at a time. When I make a change in my mono subpatch, I'd like that to also be reflected in the poly subpatch.

Below, when I update mono/oscillators/levelA, I'd like the same change to be reflected in poly/oscillators/levelA, etc at the same time. I'd basically like this to be reflected across all attributes. The simplest approach I thought of was giving each subpatch the same name, but this doesn't seem to do the trick. Would love to hear of some other approaches!

Hi there,
I have a Mac standalone made with Max 8.2.0 which uses an audio input (actually from loopback) and an external USB camera (to trigger things).

It's working fine. But as it needs to run for a long time (months) in an installation, I would like to launch it automatically when the computer starts up (as a Login item).  This works, but during the startup process, dialog boxes appear asking for permission for "... MSP to capture audio from the microphone." and to "Allow Jitter to capture video". Which need to be clicked on.

I thought that the computer (mac mini running 10.13.4) would learn that it's ok for the app to do this (it appears in and stays in the relevant lists in the Security control panel). but these dialogs appear EVERY TIME. 

Launching the standalone app on my laptop (OS 12.1) displays the same behaviour, so I don't think it's just an OS thing.

I've done this kind of thing before and can't remember ever having this problem.

standalone-mac-permissions-launch-problem

Interested in resolving this permissions issue also. 

Actually I'm talking to support about it now. 

Going back to Max 8.1.11 and making the standalone with that version solves the problem, - i only have to give permission once, then the computer remembers the permissions. so it seems to be a bug in the newer version(s). I'll post here again when I have more news about it! J



if I recall correctly you can bypass this with an apple developer ID.
Once you have one, you should codesign* the app with a script. 

Check this thread:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13204407/how-to-codesign-an-existing-mac-os-x-app-file-for-gatekeeper 

Thanks for the link! I'll check it out. It all seems to work anyway by using Max 8.1.11. And hopefully the bug will be fixed in a future version of Max.

Same here. I'm forced to export my App (https://irin.carloscaires.com/ ) using max 8.1.11. Did anyone reported this issue in the bug report form?

Anybody have any news on this?   I can't even find where to download Max 8.1.11 anymore! Seems the oldest avail on the website is 8.2 something...

Max 8.1.11. is surelly still available for download,  but link is not shown
is this for your own needs?
in which case you could get rid of stupid apple
security restrictions.
if you think solution is to use 8.1.11
I could  digg  download link from  archives

Hi all,
Same thing with my standalone... but i can't use the 8.1.11 because of some objects that have since been updated (ex : mc.resize).
I hope C74 solves this problem in the next release...

You simply need to codesign the standalone app bundle. 
From a terminal:

Thank you for your reply.
I did that, but unfortunately it doesn't work. I get the following error message in the terminal :
" resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed "


I'm having the same issue now -- realizing that I need the functionality of some updates since 8.1.1.   

I thought that you needed to register an Apple developer ID in order to co-design the app?

you don't need a developer ID when you sign anonymously, which is what passing "-" to the "-s" flag does

And all is right now, without Apple developer ID.

@Rob Ramirez - interesting, I didn't know this-
"you don't need a developer ID when you sign anonymously, which is what passing "-" to the "-s" flag does"

Amazing!  Going to give it a shot... thanks everyone!

I have an issue, which might be related (or not, I don't know).

I tried to use mxj_autobot and/or 11clicks externals. Everything works as expected until I export my patch as stand-alone application on Mac. In the exported stand-alone the mouse movement doesn't work anymore. My expectation is, I have to enable the application in the System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility on macOS. But even if I do so, the mouse doesn't move.

Max is also enabled in the Accessibility and both the externals work within Max.

Do you have any idea, please? Do I have to setup something specific in the [standalone] object or on the export, so the system recognizes the new application correctly? Or any other idea, please?

I tried to use the Terminal tricks, you recommended, but it didn't help.

Is Cycling on top of this issue? I used the suggestions made above, xattr and codesign, I get no error or other warnings when I use these commands in the terminal, but the issues still persist. In my case it is the microphone that I have to allow to be used over and over again even when I switch to other tabs in the same application and back. It is particularly frustrating since I have an automatic kill switch for audio in other tabs (users often forgot about audio in other tabs) but this bug makes it almost impossible to use it.

I'm currently building a synth that toggles between mono and poly modes. The poly mode has a chord trigger. However, when I switch to note mode (mono), it's still triggering the sounds that are supposed to be the poly / chord sounds in the second gate that's only supposed to be open when synth_mode is set to 2.

In p ChordGenerator, the midiin comes in through a notein object. Does anyone know how I could make it so that this is only triggered when its gate is open?

P.S.
routing midi like that can not work in max, only in rnbo.


Cool, thanks! I had a feeling the error was stemming from elsewhere but just wanted to be sure.

what could be elsewhere ?
if you really control the gate, there is no chance midi could pass through inactive outlet ....



It turns out I just wasn't including `in 1` so it was receiving it from the top-level. Oops! Thanks again.

Hi,

I`m having problems to delete files from my computer using shell object. I have tested many different messages to make it happens but with no luck. Which is the right message to send to shell if I want to delete a specific file?

Let`s say this is the file path: "MacOS :/Users/a/Documents/Max MSP_Projects/Podcaster/Presets/teddd.json"

Thanks in advance!


Hi,

I`m having problems to delete files from my computer using shell object. 

how-to-delete-files-using-shell

as first - if you are running any restrictive MacOS, you must give 
full disk access in settings to app in order to let it delete files.

rm "/Users/a/Documents/Max MSP_Projects/Podcaster/Preset/teddd.json"

user path can be shorted using tide:
"~/a/Documents/Max MSP_Projects/Podcaster/Preset/teddd.json"

path you wrote is not existing.

if a file nees root access to be deleted, you need sudo rm

echo 'password' | sudo -S rm "~/a/Documents/bla bla.txt"
or penter 'password'
and then shell will execute next sudo ..... 


Thanks Source Audio!
But any of the metioned messages worked to delete the files.
Should I use this message in case root access is needed? echo 'password' | sudo -S rm "~/a/Documents/bla bla.txt"
Why bla bla.txt? 

bla bla is  just example, you put your real file name  in.
also the ‘password’ should be your real password, quotas are needed  only if password has space inside.


Thanks Source Audio. I will check it out.

take care with sudo rm message to shell.
a little mistake can wipe all your hard drives,
in first place if you use sudo rm -rf (force recursive deletion)



ok thanks for the advice. I could not make it work yet.

it is not possible to provide further help without more details.

you answered previousy that 
"any of the metioned messages worked to delete the files"
in that case it is only sudo execution that you can't make to work, or ?
Reason could be anyhing, starting with possibility that you don't have 
administrative acount at all, or anyting else, including wrong path,
syntax , files are protected by SIP, whatever.
You also didn't mention which OS you use, if SIP is enabled or not etc.
and if max has full disk access rights enabled in security settings.


I'd say if you can delete files you need using plain rm message, than let it be with sudoing.


I could not make it work even using sudo. I`m on OS Monterey. SIP is disabled. Administrative account. Max has full access. Not sure what else to test...

post your patch with exact message you send to shell.

1st prblem is that if you try to use sudo with wrong password and path,
shell will hang.
2nd your path is wrong
if your user name is a and password xxxxxxx
then this is wrong.

eiher /Users/a/ or ~/
~/   is replacement for user folder.
if your passwor is xxxxxxx , this should be correct message :

echo xxxxxxx | sudo -S rm ~/Documents/'Max MSP_Projects'/Podcaster/Presets/teddd.json


see that each aprt of the path containing space needs to be escaped using single quotas.

rm /Users/a/Documents/'Max MSP_Projects'/Podcaster/Presets/teddd.json

Now it worked but only for 1 file, if I create again a new file with the same filename it works. But I cannot make it works with other files. Sudo was not necessary. It`s weird.

other file in same folder ?
~/Documents/'Max MSP_Projects'/Podcaster/Presets/

don't forget the rule - if any part of  path (incluing file itself)
has space , you must enclose it with ' ' single quotes.

look  at this example :

~/'AAA BBB'/CCC/'DDD EEE'/'file to delete.txt'


Yes other files in the same folder. It works for some files but don`t work for some others. I cannot find which is the pattern that make it works or not. It`s weird.

can you post few messages for files that don't work,
if it is not too private thing ?
maybe somethig in the file name breaks the path.
you caa also get info on that files to check if you are the owner.
If you are not, then you need sudo to wipe them.


Finally it started working properly, not sure why, but now it`s working. I`m using doble quotes always and it works on any case, even if there are blank spaces.

rm "/Users/a/Documents/'Max MSP_Projects'/Podcaster/Presets/Like This.json"

Thanks a lot Source Audio! Your help is always really appreciated ;)

ok, glad it works, even that it shoud also work with
rm /Users/a/Documents/'Max MSP_Projects'/Podcaster/Presets/'Like This.json'

Does this shell object works for Windows too? I`m testing it on Windows but it does not work.

shell sits between max and functions, replacing terminal on mac or command prompt on windows.
commands and path forming differ between systems.

on winows one of commands to delete file is del
you may want to read del manual or description.
or powershell Remove-Item 



I see. Let`s say the file path is C:/Users/Usuario/Desktop/My Patchers/resources/presets/April.json

Then for example this would be the commadn to delete a file on WIndows?
 del "/Users/Usuario/Desktop/My Patchers/resources/presets/April.json"
I also tried using single quote around My Patchers but it does not work.

why don't you try instead of asking ?
most problems are related to specific max - shell relation when it comes to forming paths.

I don't have that all present in my brain, because I don't use windows at all, only make stuff for my customers that run it, from time to time.
dealing with windows paths was allways pain in the ass because of backslashes, but that changed somewhat in last shell release.
But I can't  help you with that at the moment.
Have no windows machine at hand on the road.


Sure, I`ve already tried the example I posted before but it does not worked. It`s why I ask if this was the right way to request file deletion. I have tested many different ways but any of them worked. And not sure what else to try.

del "/Users/Usuario/Desktop/My Patchers/resources/presets/April.json"



you can start by using dropfile to get path to file,
if it does not work see if shell needs to convert path type to something else using conformpath.



also check if
del filepath works in shell, because old official del says
filedir del filename




P.S. it is none of them worked, not any of them worked,
which would mean ALL off them worked.

I think I got it working. That was the right command:
del "C:\\Users\\Usuario\\Desktop\\My Patchers\\resources\\presets\\April.json




you see ...
a bit of research and all ok.

I need to get a message each time that any scene starts playing.  I managed to get a message when a scene is selected and launched and it is blinking, but it does not work for me. I need the message when it actually  STARTS playing all the clips in that scene, and I need to  make it work with a live.observer object. 

Could someone please help me to figure out the path, or how to build this ? 

Hello guys, 
I need to get a message each time that any scene starts playing. 

get-a-message-each-time-that-any-scene-starts-playing-the-clips

I think this is not possible simply because each clip on a scene can  have various launch mode and quantization settings, thus starts playing at different moments. 
What you are looking for is maybe when the first clip of a scene starts playing once the scene is triggered?

Maybe the simplest solution could be to have a helper MIDI track, with a blank clip on every slot, with launch mode set to "trigger" and global quantization, and observe when the clip on the triggered scene starts playing.


get a message each time that any scene starts playing the clips.

I'm having trouble working with dynamically created arrays of buffers in javascript. 
(I am planning on using javascript to iterate through samples in each buffer which is why I'm not using a polybuffer, where I don't believe you can use peek/poke w a polybuffer.)  

User drops a folder of audio files on a [dropfile] and I want to create an array of buffers in javascript.  does this look right?

var lastAudioFolderPath = '';
var buffer_array = [];
var buffer_array_index = 0;
var player = this.patcher.getnamed("player");
var waveView = this.patcher.getnamed("waveView");

function clear(){
	post();
	post("clear");
	buffer_array_index = 0;
}

function setAudioFolderPath(path){
	post();
	post("path_audioFolder: "+path);
	lastAudioFolderPath = path;
}

function load_audio(audioFile){
	var filePath = lastAudioFolderPath+audioFile;
	buffer_array[buffer_array_index] = new Buffer(audioFile);
	post();
	post("created new buffer ("+audioFile+") at index ("+buffer_array_index+")");
	buffer_array[buffer_array_index].send("replace", filePath);
	buffer_array_index++;
}

function play(){
	post();
	post("play: "+"Bell.wav"); //testing with Bell.wav audio file
	player.message("set", "Bell.wav"); //[play~] called player
	player.message("start");
