we just found something we didn't know about preset interpolation.

In my example below, if [matrixctrl] is 8x8 .. no problem.

If it is bigger (we didn't dig the exact limits), interpolation doesn't work.

Maybe it also happens with other objects.

Actually, we tested with a (BIG) multislider with 1000 ... it works fine.

I'm just starting out with M4L, so please excuse if this is a silly problem. 

I want to control playback in Ableton via a M4L device and have this in turn be controlled with my Midi controller. So, to give an example, I press a C1 on the controller which I mapped to a "play" button on the M4L device which in turn tells Ableton to, in this example, "start playback". 

Now, the problem I keep running into is this:

When I press the Midi controller, it does trigger the M4L button - but only every other time. Or, to be more precise, it doesn't "untrigger" it when I release the controller so that it is immediately ready to fire again. However, when I press the same M4L button not via the Midi controller but directly with my mouse, the M4L device triggers every time without fail. 

I reckon there should be a way to remedy this? please help :)

I'm working on a patch that revolves around Ableton's Wavetable device, and need a way to set the modulation matrix programmatically using the js object. From the 

Live Object Model docs for WavetableDevice

, I've discovered some functions attached to the device. I've had no issues setting parameters (using 

) or setting the properties attached to the WavetableDevice.

My issue is that I can't figure out the syntax that the add_parameter_to_modulation_matrix function is expecting. The docs describe Parameter: 

 [DeviceParameter], but I am receiving syntax errors.

I've tried passing the following as arguments:

- Live object_id for the parameter to be added

api.call("is_parameter_modulatable", "parameters " + filterFreqParamId)
or
api.call("is_parameter_modulatable", filterFreqParamId)

- param_index on the device (eg. 26 for Filter Freq 1)

api.call("is_parameter_modulatable", "parameters " + filterFreqParamIndex)
or 
api.call("is_parameter_modulatable", filterFreqParamIndex)

- passing the object as a new LiveAPI instance

var paramApi = new LiveAPI("live_set view selected_track devices " + wavetableIndex + "parameters " + filterFreqParamIndex);
api.call("is_parameter_modulatable", paramApi);

api.call("is_parameter_modulatable", "live_set view selected_track devices " + wavetableIndex + " parameters " + filterFreqParamIndex)

All of these return an error, such as jsliveapi: Invalid arguments: 'is_parameter_modulatable parameters 26'

What is the correct way to pass a DeviceParameter as an argument to a function using the JS Live API like this?

In avf mode, the jit.record object doesn't accept many frames in rapid succession. After about 4 frames triggered by an uzi, it posts the message 'writer input not ready for media data'. In quicktime mode all's fine.

to reproduce, please paste this bit & click button.

anybody got easy workarounds apart from working with delays and such?

jit-record-writer-input-not-ready-for-media-data-bug

this is not so much a bug, as it is a limitation of the AVF engine. lots of things like this, that used to work with quicktime, don't work with avf due to the asynchronous nature of so much of the library. 

i've registered a feature request to output a notification from jit.record when it's ready to accept media data, which could be used to trigger the next frame.

in the meantime, some sort of delay is your only option. i did it like this (adjust the delay time for your setup and processing needs):


Yes, that feature would be really handy. Until then, the delay method will do.

One thing I've noticed is that the choice of codec has some influence over the occurrence of this 'writer input not ready for media data' error. If I use h264, the Max console rains full of errors. If I use prores4444 I only have a very occasional 'writer input not ready for media data', and they do not occur at all with prores422 on my MBP running 10.10.3. Which is a perfect codec for the experimental nonsense I output from jitter.


fyi I get the same error under avf when trying to export movs from jit.matrixset


I still encounter this problem with jit.record & jit.matrixset on OSX nowadays.
Using jit.vcr instead of jit.record solved the problem for me (using OSX 10.13.6 & Max 7.3.5).

for exporting from jit.matrixset, try switching the video engine preference to viddll

jit.record: writer input not ready for media data (bug?)

I'm creating a patch for multichannel using a 64ch Dante network, but a crash occurs every time I use it on windows 11.

When checking with the Windows event viewer, it seems that an error occurs and crashes every time at the location "c0000005"   "msvcrt.dll"

I have attached the max patch here, so could you please give a review?

For some reason I cant get my bare conductive board to communicate with Max. I have followed all of the directions to a T. The Data stream seems to be working fine with my touch board and Max recognizes the port, however, when I select the port I am not receiving any data from the data stream. Any Ideas?

Hello Community.
For some reason I cant get my bare conductive board to communicate with Max.  I have followed all of the directions to a T.  The Data stream seems to be working fine with my touch board and Max recognizes the port, however, when I select the port I am not receiving any data from the data stream. Any Ideas?

Happy to help. I wrote the tutorial so I better be able to! I'll be referencing this tutorial in my answers: http://www.bareconductive.com/make/the-touch-board-maxmsp/

Just to confirm can you see the DataStream output in the serial monitor as in step 2 of the tutorial? If you can see that (which it sounds like you can) then you are part of the way there. 

Next, make sure that the max patch and the arduino sketch are closed. Unplug and plug the Touch Board back in and open up the max patch. Now try selecting the serial port. If it is not obvious which one the Touch Board is, just try each. Make sure to wait a few seconds before selecting the next one. If this doesn't work we can dig a bit more into the patch to see what is going on.


Hello there. I'm having the same problem. Can see the data fine in Arduino's serial monitor but not a flicker of life in Max. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!

I'm making a granular engine using mc.2dwave~ as sample playback. Everything works properly but mc.2d.wave~ clicks whenever i change the number of rows of the object, i tried to remake the object in gen~ then i don't have any click when change the number of rows dynamically, but a lot of clicks when scrubbing through the samples (so changing rows). Has anyone ever faced such a problem?
