Hello! Lately I used a stacking looper patch (from Andrew Robinson's video) to add an extension to it. Techically I want the loop's buffer size to be calculated via note values and tempo and I've pretty much created an algorithm that works pretty well. The only problem remaining is that the buffer size will reset every time the counter sends an output, therefore the recording that follows after the latest output will be the only thing saved as the buffer's  content. Is there a way to send the counter's final message result after the recording? Or should I use a different object than counter? My thoughts so far would be that I need to stop the counter from sending a message while the recording is on, and then when the recording goes off then the counter's final message will then be sent and calculated for the final buffer size. It'd be very helpful to open the patch since everything is pretty complicated! Thank you!

I'm making a midi looper for CC. I've decided that using a buffer and reading and writing with a phasor would be the best option. However, its overkill to use sample rate for this. I may be making this up, but doesn't midi process at 1/96 of a quarter note? What rate, or ratio to bpm would be ideal for setting the phasor to read out of the buffers so it's smooth enough for CC but also not requiring huge buffers (i want to go 32 bars max).

Take a look at the following super simple batch

Its just an adstatus 0 connected to a umenu - nothing to it.  Just adding it here in case it helps. Reports my inputs / what hardware is in use for inputs.

I've been attempting to build a patch that re-connects to particular inputs / outputs whenever possible (using a 5 sec heartbeat rather than real time) - but thats another story.  Made some interesting discoveries, and also managed to crash max a 

However, tonight when finishing up another idea, I noticed some slightly unexpected behaviour.  For giggles, (and just following my nose) I printed the output of adstatus to the console - and saw something super interesting.  To me at least.  Its likely well known to many knowledgable folk here.

Whenever I went into the Audio Status menu (options) - and changed the audio driver to none, adstatus sent a clear, and just a single clear message - as expected. 

However, when I changed back to "core audio" it would send out a bunch of messages with strange (to me) behaviour.  Its like it repeated itself entirely - but also, the "set 2" messages (to get the current list of inputs) seemed repeated for no reason at all.

Output changing from "none" to "core audio"

Note getting everything twice - and many "set 2"'s in a row (not exactly doubled completely)

I'm kinda at sea as to why its happening.  Is it because the Audio Status menu is actually itself just using adstatus?  But then why the odd "set 2" behaviours?

Has anyone got any ideas on what is occuring here?  It actually completely explains some other behaviours I saw when trying to implement my reconnect function in entirely different ways - likely even leading me to abandoning the direction and trying something else new.

I'm looking for a device in Max for Live that can duplicate the length of a currently selected MIDI clip. Let's say you've recorded a 1-bar bassline but want to extend it to 2 bars to add some automation over the last few beats. Ableton Live has a button for this, but I need a simple device for my live performances.

I'm a beginner with Max for Live, but I'm willing to give it a shot if nobody has created this device yet. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but I haven't figured out a good way to do this. I want to be able to combine 2 mono buffers into a single stereo buffer. I'd also like the process to be automatic, rather than use record~ and build it in real time. I built a patch that splits a stereo buffer into left and right channels, and then converts them into mid and side channels, and now I'd like to be able to recombine them back into stereo.* I thought maybe using assigning a peek~ object for each channel of a corresponding stereo buffer, but the result is still mono. It's likely I'm doing something wrong though.

*I want to use this with a fluid.bufnmf~ patch, which only outputs mono files. If you load a stereo file and set it to decompose it into 4 components, you actually get 8 files, 4 for each channel. So I thought I'd try running the mid and side separately and then recombine those into stereo. I'm pretty sure I could use fluid.bufcompose~, but I'm wondering if there's a native Max way to do this.

edit: ok yeah, fluid.bufcompose~ is the simplest way.

I think my question is going to sound stupid, but I'm a beginner, and I'm stuck on something pretty easy I think, even doing much harder on the side.

I can't find a simple way to activate (or not) one of the adc inputs while playing in real time. Specifically: I have two mics, but I want to activate both only in the second part of the piece (at the beginning only the first mic needs to be activated). I don't know if I can put this in my coll, or with a toggle linked to my matrix...? And I can't find anything on the help.

I know it will probably be very easy, I'm just frustrated because I think I already have the answer in front of my eyes haha

I would like to generate a list of 127 frequencies from a list of 5-12 frequencies.

so if I will input 5 numbers: 220, 270, 300, 355, 440 the output will be a total of 127 numbers above and below those numbers

kind of deciding a list of frequencies/notes in one octave range and then creating those frequencies in different octaves/ranges (above and below that octave)

the idea is similar for the js scl reader.js object but instead of pre writing a file with a list of ratios/cents you enter a list of frequencies instead.
