I've looked at the jit.histogram help file, and I understand that each cell index in a 1D jit.histogram matrix is equivalent to each possible R, G, or B value—a value in the 3rd cell (index of 2) of a jit.histogram matrix plane indicates that pixels in that plane are set to 2. Can someone explain what that value actually means though? I would've expected that it referred to the number of pixels in the incoming matrix that are set to that value but after messing around with the help file, that doesn't seem to be the case (unless I'm missing something).

My last update to 8.6 seems to have written over my externals folder meaning I’ve lost a few very important externals. The mptcfs_sa~ from MsPinky is now missing and judging by the lack of communication from them, it seems they are no longer in operation and I don’t have a back up anywhere. Is there a way to recover historical externals, are they living somewhere out of site on my computer that I’m missing

Does anybody know of an object, external or other method to create a momentary toggle button that will turn on with mouse down and turn off with mouse up?

Does anybody know of an object, external or other method to create a momentary toggle button that will turn on with mouse down and turn off 

active-toggle-button

 
ubutton, led, lcd, pctctrl, mousestate, jit.display ... 

toggle means change state on one input trigger

this is all you need to produce 1 on mouse down
and 0 on mouse up


What I meant was creating a button of some sort that outputs a 1 all the while it is pressed and a zero when it's released. That's momentary to me. I've removed toggle from the title of the thread!

I see
As workaround I use ubutton with 1 & 0 messages.
You can also try pictctrl in button mode.
in 32bit max version there was rs.textbutton 
which I used a lot.


I've been able to encapsulate my momentary button in an embedded bpatcher and save it as a snippet. Works a treat!

i am working on a project right now, which is a grid (matrix ctrl) that transfers to a series of bangs. The grid is an interface which will let me control a series of motors in a physical setup (probably gonna use a raspberry pi to communicate between max and the motors). I want the bangs to transfer to an on/off state, so i can control metronomes or some other loops while the corresponding cell in the matrixctrl is active. 

I thought about using a bucket maybe? Idk what could work, just putting a toggle causes issues because the toggle keeps turning on and off at every bang. 

Here is the patch. I don't think the presets are necessary to solve this problem, but here is one of them if you want to experiment in a coll object. 

1, 0 0 1 1 0 1 2 0 1 3 0 1 4 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 2 1 0 3 1 0 4 1 1 0 2 1 1 2 0 2 2 0 3 2 0 4 2 1 0 3 1 1 3 0 2 3 0 3 3 0 4 3 1 0 4 1 1 4 1 2 4 1 3 4 1 4 4 1;

Each cell corresponds to 3 values: x, y, on/off. The x and y coordinates start at 0. The grid starts in the top left corner, so it goes left to right and up to down.

I'm running through an issue with a device I'm working on.

The idea is to replicate what User Friendly Sound has done in the video linked to this post.

I've completed everything I wanted to do except the option to create a midi note with it's note-on and note-off messages with the gamepad triggers (L2 & R2). In fact, whenever I try to use them, I get a continuous note that stop only if I save the patch. 

I use a simple [==0] object to identify if the trigger is == to 0 or not and from that I use a [togedge] object to differenciate bangs only on 0 on only when it pass 0, don't know if that make sense.

Here's the device with the subpatches (tell me if you don't see the subpatches)

I'm pretty sure I miss something stupid lol

 programming conventions, but next-to-nothing about programming with Max/MSP. I've picked up some excellent advice, 

 code, from this forum and would like a little clarification, about some specific terminology. 

 point out if anything I post is definitively 

For instance; I believe the term 'Max' refers to a C '74 

, whereas 'Max/MSP' refers to a particular iteration of that product, and the term 'MSP' 

There are also many things that, in a boolean sense, I can 

 sense, I can only grasp at tiny pieces of that truth. For many of those 'tiny pieces' there 

 that have to be adhered to;- but there are many other pieces that are of a more 

 nature. After all, according to the C '74/Max homepage:  'Max is an infinitely flexible space to create your own interactive software'. 

That is awesome, but also scares the shit out of me. So I'll start with 2 examples:

Hello, I'm new to RNBO and I was wondering if it's possible to create an effect like the Cableguys Halftime (see here

I have just found that midiin & midiout objects don't work when used inside an M4L device (work fine in Max standalone though). I need them to work because I can't use the standard midi input/ouput inside a M4L midi device (basically I don't want Ableton to record midi for a particular hardware synth).

The workaround I am using is to add an external standalone Max device that does the midi in/out and communicate with the M4L device using udp/OSC, which is not very ideal.

Would be possible to make midiin & midiout objects working even inside an M4L device? Or is there any other way to do this without using an external Max standalone device?

 tutorial to build a plugin with a customisable UI via CMake and JUCE. I have some prior undergrad experience with other languages but this has really stumped me and I have tried every solution that I was able to find on the internet (been on way too many forums). If anyone has any experience following this tutorial and/or has ran into this issue and solved it, any help would be greatly appreciated. I have installed all of the prerequisites and to my knowledge all should be working.

I recently began attempting to recreate the 1st-gen Pokémon cries from scratch, referencing  from this 

, and decided to use Max for the LSFR Noise Channel portion. The sequence in my patch matches the Articuno cry data (example 

). I'm pretty confident that the LFSR is set up properly for the 7-bit width, and that the sound generation is accurate. 

The main issue that I'm having is clocking the system. Because I'm sequencing by hertz values (converted into samples for ease of use), the metro object is much too slow. I attempted to use 

 objects to send the correct rate of number generation to the LFSR. From my testing, this setup is reliable at low frequencies, but becomes very inaccurate at higher values. Is there a way to make this more accurate so that I can match the original noise style?

I would be grateful for any insight/advice on how to improve this system, or an alternative approach!

Here's the sequenced patch, and a trimmed down version that plays continuously.

. The Eventide H9000 is a rack-sized multi-effects unit with powerful DSP processing capabilities and numerous high quality built-in effects. We’re excited to enable RNBO export for this and open the door to unique custom studio effects and instruments without the strict limitations of other hardware platforms.

RNBO support is similar to the existing Gen support, but more streamlined, and uses the built-in
