I am working on my own spin of Andrew Bensons FlyOver Jitter recipe. In his version procedural noise and matrix feedback is used to determine the position for each grid shape instance. In my own I'd like to control the x and y position with MIDI. I've simulated the MIDI sequence for now by assigning random values to random matrix indices and sending the matrix to the feedback loop. However, when the matrix is only output on every metro tick, the drawing happens to slowly but when I use the draw bang from jit.gl.render the cubes look like they are stretched. 

Another issue is that I only want to be able to see the cubes that have been positioned by the "MIDI sequence" but the jit.gl.multiple object will create a new instance for every cell in the matrix. 

I hope this is all clear and would love some suggestions and a push in the right direction.

 when operating in an exported runtime (standalone) on 

. I tried to find the object in the Max application itself to copy it over manually but to no avail. Does anyone know the backstory to this, where I can find the object, whether it cannot be used in projects which will later be rendered as standalones or whether this bug is already known and being worked on?

What is the best way to do masking in the openGL context ?

The purpose is to animate/distors parts of an image with noise (jit.gl.bfg). I already tried to do binary masks (black and white) to animate a part of an image and then recombine it to the original image but it is very hard to avoid artifacts on the border of the mask.

I tried [jit.gl.meshwarp], it is a very versatile solution, but I didn't find a way to feather the mask outlines. Is there a way to blur/feather the mask outline of [jit.gl.meshwarp] ?

Of course everything in the openGL / texture context.

(I join a shematic example of what I just explained).

I've been working on a set of Max for Live devices that rely heavily on JavaScript. Recently, I've been having some issues where the adding the devices to an empty Live set will instantly crash Live. Sometimes, Live will display an error that says "A serious program error has occurred. Live will shut down after this message box is closed." In other cases, Live just abruptly quits.

After doing some bisection testing, I found that the crashes were specifically being triggered by jit.gl.texture objects receiving bangs on load. Opening the Ableton crash dumps in WinDbg revealed that the last instruction preceding the crash was always jitlib!jit_handle_size_set . This led me on a bit of a wild goose chase trying to figure out if the issue had to do with initialization order, GL context creation, etc.

I noticed the problem would persist for a while, including across rebooting my computer, and then it would seemingly "fix itself," which led me to suspect that it was being caused by a file somewhere on disk rather than anything stored in memory.

I thought that the issue was perhaps being caused by the Max's database files for Live (at AppData\Roaming\Cycling '74\Max 8\Database or AppData\Roaming\Cycling '74\Max 9\Database, depending on your Max version). Deleting the files in these folders seemed to fix the issue, but now it's cropped up again. I initially posted this when I thought I had a working solution in case it was helpful to anyone else, but now I think I'm just going to submit a bug report to C74 support.

I’ve come across a few forum posts discussing ways to view PDFs in Max, but many of the suggested methods no longer seem to work. Using JWeb as a PDF viewer is a decent workaround, but I’d really like to integrate it directly inside a Jitter matrix—something that doesn’t appear to be possible at the moment.

Ideally, I’d also want better interaction within the JWeb window, such as zooming and the ability to navigate freely without relying on click-and-drag.

For example, I’m interested in building a tool for reading musical scores in PDF format, with control features mapped inside Max—such as zooming and horizontal panning—so that navigation can be handled programmatically.

Thanks in advance for any modern solution to this!

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 making a piece with a behaviour like in guitar hero but generative.

my processing is extremely demanding, and I know this could be approached better with the help from my max community friends. 

In its curent state, my poly are at 20 instances, because I want to be able to generate a lot of notes; however, this means that there is a potential of 80 instances at the same time.

Also the path that these objects take are programed with [line], perhaps they could all run along an object's path (like a long rectangle gridshape)

This patch comes from logic that I found here:

https://cycling74.com/forums/sharing-poly-opengl-animator

Archive.zip

I have another design that Runs on jit.gl.multiple and is much more stable, but it does not have the look that I am looking for. Also I have to integrate a logic to allow me to have queue, so that I can transition between modes smoothly. (if you click the big bangs on the right, you'll get a sense of what I mean.
