A complete M4L blockhead here, hi. I have this audio to midi in realtime -plugin, which works almost perfectly, but it won't play two times the same note without my playing another note in between. So my guess is that I'd need to insert some sort of note-off behavior / note repeat rule / re-triggering box somewhere in MaxForLive editing tree. I have Ableton 9 / Max 7. This is the only plugin that I have been able to (almost) use. I'm an acoustic musician and need this for live performances.

I've tried contacting the developer, but since it's a free plugin, seems like he doesn't (understandably) wish to waste his time on it. Looks like I'm on my own. As far as I can understand, it's a very cleverly made plugin, except for this bug. So I thought maybe it's ok to ask here?

Like I said, I know nnnothing. Yet I feel that a more experienced brain would solve this in a minute. Anyone feeling like helping me out?

Audio to midi plugin won't play same note twice in a row. Help to edit with M4L?

i'm having trouble getting a jit.multiple and its related object to show up at the right time. i have the bang set up so that the model itself is visible / enabled at a certain point in the song, and disabled before and after that part - but when the toggle for said part is triggered, nothing shows up , despite "enable" being toggled on. its only after the entire song is done that , when i disconnect the wire that goes from jit.multiple to jit.gl.mesh and attach to the model itself, then reattach it back to jit.gl.mesh again, that the multiple objects show up. i've checked my jit.gen to see if that's causing it, and no matter what values i change or remove there, the jit.multiple just fails to render until after the song is done and i move the wires a bit. is there something else i'm missing? could the mainmetro bang from the world be causing it to be coloured over? i've attached the edited more concise patcher version of my project below.

edit: it requires the corresponding .wav file from the audio content browser provided in max.

i'm having trouble getting a jit.multiple and its related object to show up at the right time. 

jit-multiple-jit-gl-modelmesh-animation-with-song-timing

Hi Lilian. Since your jit.gl.model that is feeding the jit.gl.mesh is @automatic 0, you need to send it a bang to tell it to output its geometry matrices to the jit.gl.mesh for rendering. You can do this either manually with a bang button, or automatically with a loadbang object (or in response to some other trigger in your patch).

that helped to fix the issue; i set that value to that model for something else since i duplicated it, but i didn't know that was what was blocking the render. thank you so much!

I am currently building a microtonal MIDI patch. So far, the tuning system works, but I have a problem.

MIDI is of course, note-based, and therefore microtonality is based on a pitch shift of a given note.

That's fine for widely spaced microtonal chords, but for close relationships - 110, 112, 115 Hz etc. it doesn't work and these pitches need to be sent to a different instance of a virtual instrument - I can't find a way of bending to instances of the same note at the same time.

So, what I'm looking to do is route duplicate MIDI note names to different instances of a virtual instrument, but I can't find an elegant way of doing it. 

I'm also attaching the basic microtonality 'engine'. The idea is to have microtonal playback based on a list of input frequencies, not based on tuning an instrument to a scale.

Hi there,
I am currently building a microtonal MIDI patch. 

list-processing-help

(Or, if anyone has a microtonal MIDI patch that can handle polyphonies on the same pitch class that I can reverse engineer to accept a frequency list, please do let me know! ;) 

use poly~ target based instead of midi note based.
All is explained in poly~ help file.



While not an answer to your specific question, this  video of how I did some microtonal exploration might be interesting and have some useful ideas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L7edwef-5k&t=9s&ab_channel=MusicwithLisp

Bascially I take route of going from midi into some non-midi way of communicating with instruments. I have previously made pitch bend mappers using the same tools though.

Thanks so much for getting back - this is very helpful.

I opted for something like this in the end - it works pretty well.

I figured that I probably wouldn't have more than five close beating frequencies at the same time, so I set it up so that the lists are split into groups of 5, with the first in *each* group going to one instrument, the second of each to the second, and so on. As long as I'm careful not to have more than five close frequencies, it works!

List processing help

 I’m am trying to figure out where to begin in my patch! My idea is to be able to change the sample rate of all the audio and effects playing. What I am trying to replicate is something found on old Roland digital recorders that had a function called VariPitch. It would allow you to lower the playback speed of the audio (like a tape machine) and if digital effects were added then consequently lower that along with it too. I’m guessing from what I understand this works by changing the machines sample rate in real time. It could record at 32khz sample rate and then by lowering it, to say 1khz, play back slower. 

At first I found adstatus which doesn’t really do what I need but it would really interesting to control the global sample rate per 1hz incremental up or down. Then I came across poly~ and this seems like it would do what I need but I’m not sure.

trying-to-change-sample-rate-playback-in-real-time

If anyone had a patch example to share or point to its appreciated!

I would start with groove~'s playback speed or ad-hoc driving of play~. You record a buffer~ at a given sample rate, then you play it back at a different rate, "simulating" a  different sampling rate. That's basically what VariPitch allows: live modification of playback rate.

I'd like to revive this thread. 

What I want to achieve is creating a master clock rate that changes the rate of the whole or part of the patch. Like the clock rate knobs on some pedals like Chase Bliss Mood or Alexander Pedals Marshmallow. Basically, slowing the whole patch.

Trying to change Sample rate playback in real time ??

I have a very simple setup that lets me change the selected track in live. I just can't seem to figure out how I can do the same thing for multiple tracks. Is this even possible?
If I could get to the point where I can select all of the tracks, I would be very happy. I've tried using a trigger and a list but this just quickly iterates through the list of id's instead of selecting them all toghether. I'm fairly new to max, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Disclaimer : video is not my usual domain, so I might lack some basic knowledge. 

But still,
I'm working on a project where I need no be able to cut video loops into 16 equal slices and access to these slices with accuracy. 
So I made a video loop displaying numbers from 0 to 16, equally spread in time to work it out. 
In my example, it displays numbers from 1 to 14, then pauses for 2 ticks. Why is this happening ?

You were better off with 16 frames and counter
recalling frame by frame.
your position float makes no sense at all.


But , that is advice for this specific case, where you display
pictures and not really video....
If you really were up to slice larger video into 16 equal slices,
then it is another story.


unfortunately viddll engine still has some issues with h264 files, especially accessing the final frames. The easy workaround, especially for your case usecase of accessing frames on demand, is to make sure that playback is stopped when accessing these frames. So add the argument @autostart 0 to your jit.movie object. Doing that allowed me to access all the frames using your technique.

At first, I don't think you're right, as [position] is a between 0. 1., normalized to the whole file length. It makes perfect sense to me (and works).

Then, yes, I plan to make this on video, with variable playing rates. Following patch appears to work quite nicely : 


cool, yes avf player doesn't seem to suffer the same h264 issues as viddll. another workaround for viddll is to load the last second or so into memory with loadram -1 message (ensuring you have enough cache to do that via the cache_size attribute)

Thanks @RobRamirez 
Good to know that it's a known issue. To be honest I have no idea why I should use viddll or avf, I don't even know what it is. I firstly tried viddll as as was working with .gif files, but I think that making .mov files instead of .gif files with a rate of 0 is perfectly viable for my use. 
Does loadram (not available with avl) really make a difference on a macbook pro with an SSD, with reading files less than 10MB ? 

You can probably find some references post related to my project FRGMENTS:
https://julienbayle.net/works/frgments/

Example: (actually not the best one as there are massive glitches, but we had a total control on retrieving THAT frame if we wanted that)
https://vimeo.com//242240872

We had shot videos of people rotating in the studio
We wanted to be able to retrieve EACH frame precisely.
Combination of loadram, hap etc gives us that.


Thanks Julien. 
Still a few things to figure out. For instance, [frame $1] works really really bad ([frame_true $1] on the other hand is accurate). 
What do you mean by "some references post related to my project FRGMENTS" ?

Hello Braintrust -- I keep getting this error popping up in my console when I'm running a patch with Mira in it:  

xebra_global: XEBListeningConnection_ListenProc: Error accepting connection: 670008 nodename nor servname provided, or not known

The connection appears to work fine, but the error pops up every several seconds, so it interferes with using my console to track output while I'm problem solving the patch.  I am running the latest versions of Max and Mira on OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 (it's a 2010 iMac, so I'm kind of done upgrading the OS) and iOS 9.3.5 on an iPad3.  

Can anyone direct me what to do to fix this error?

I have the same issue with Max 7.3.4 on my mid-2015 MBP, El Capitain, with iOS 11.1.2 on an iPad Air 2, running MIRA 1.2.1 - it's probably trivial, but it would be good to know...

Well, years and many Max versions later (currently 8.5.3) , I'm still getting this error: xebra_global: XEBListeningConnection_ListenProc: Error accepting connection: 670008 nodename nor servname provided, or not known

Hello! I've been scratching my head a few hours trying to figure this out. When routing a jit.graph to a jit.window or jit.pwindow, there is also a solid white line present at the zero crossing. Does anyone know if there is a way to stop this line from rendering? jit.catch is capturing the audio from plugin~ and passing it on to jit.graph~ in mode 1. 
After having spent a day looking for the perfect waveform visualization for my needs, this one is by far the most pleasing I've found - except for the line in the middle. 

Does this have anything to do with jitter limitations in max for live? They were mentioned in the documentation for Max 7, but not Max 8.

I would love to know if anyone has any ideas!

Regards, Monapink

I'm having trouble with something that used to work fine for me - saving a patcher as a text file.   (Basic, I know.)  The online documentation says to open a patcher, go to Save As in the file menu, and select the Max text format ( .mxt).  But I do not see a Max text format among the choices.  Any idea why not?
Thanks,
-mk


Hi folks,
I'm having trouble with something that used to work fine for me - saving a patcher as a text file. 

saving-a-patcher-as-text-not-working

Save it as a .maxpat file, which should be plain text.

Hmmm.....ok, and I know you can open any .maxpat as a text file......but then what is this Max text format (.mxt)?  


I am not sure, but my suspicion is that it is a holdover from the days when some filesystems only allowed you to have three-character  extensions. Just guessing, though.

Edit: Looking around a bit more it appears that .mxt is a pre-JSON text format. Maybe some who was around before version 5 (I believe) will have a more enlightened answer, however.

why would you need to save a patch in Max Text format ?

I guess there isn't much need for that if the maxpat file itself is just a text file.  (I didn't realize that.)  
I went into the Max help stacks looking for how to share patches, and got onto a page about saving things as a "Max text" file (.mxt).....so that's what I tried to do.  I see now that it's not necessary - just open as text, cut and paste.

ok, asking for help, on the rnbo.  on cycling's webpage there is a small section about rnbo and web audio, https://cycling74.com/products/rnbo    ....a very cool little interactive and something that i could use, [but, in a different context].  firstly, is there a help file with the contents of the demonstration, just so i can look into how its built, or can anyone put me in the right direction on getting a basic thing happening for web content and rnbo web audio.  

at the end of the day, i would like to create a web area [box] that could trigger audio snippets by the user, but i have no idea where to start.  hope someone can help or put me in the right direction.
