Here is a handy patch to zoom/resize dynamically AND edit settings on the fly without ever leaving presentation view.  

Once set, hovering over the various UI objects will report window size to prepare for next action, keeping Max zoom and presentation resizing in sync.  It uses their scripting names to trigger the action.

Open the first patch and drag window around, adjust zoom with menu and INCDEC, click expand tab back and forth.  Everything should stay synced.

To change settings from a locked presentation: click EDIT.

- Drag window around and/or drag height/width to desired INITIAL settings.

- Drag width of window to desire location to desired variable width.

Activating / Deactivating EDIT MODE switches between grow and nogrow window flags, to prevent scrolling while locked.

Also great for finished standalones and Max4Live, to bring zoom/resize functionality to other targets.  Just delete the EDIT button (or remove from presentation view) when set.

NOTE: when back in patching view, don't forget to enable disable grow/nogrow windowflags as needed.

Also a little hidden feature... ZOOMZOOM... when Max's idea of 100% just isn't enough.  Just enter a float factor so that your "100%" can be whatever you want, regardless of actual patch zoom.

Two patches attached. One expanded example with annotations and one clean-ish encapsulated version with EDIT MODE in a popup window.  The second version is easier to drop into existing patches or as a template to start a patch from scratch with the features already baked in.

I hope someone can get some good use out of this. Bit of a mess, but it works great so far.   Many thanks for all the incredible help provided here in the forum. It's nice to contribute back.  Many thanks to Joe Kaplan, whose JS window offset saved the day.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read.

I am working on a device that adds an audio clip to the currently selected track at the transport position in Live.

When I attempt to call the "create_audio_clip" function, I get an error like such :

live.object: Please provide an absolute path: 'create_audio_clip Macintosh HD:/Users/joewalsh/Desktop/ABSCasing_f_1.wav 10680.0'

I'm currently using a .wav file on the desktop for testing, but have tried other file locations as well with no luck so far.

Any help and/or advice you can offer me would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you!

UPDATE:  I found out that by adding /Volumes to the beginning of the file path, it now works properly.

i am working on a project that generates a series of binary numbers i.e. 1 0 1 1 0

but i wish to export these in the format, using the example above, 1 2

another example just to make it clear would be that the system spits out 1 1 1 0 1, and i would want that to display as 3 1

basically, add adjacent numbers in the list but ignore 0

i'm sure there's a very obvious answer that i'm missing but if anyone can help, it would be massively aprpeciated!

I can't send OSC messages anymore from Max to Open Stage Control. Both programs are opened on the same computer  and I'm using 

 address in the udpsend object. The computer is running macOS Sonoma.

I'm not sure it is linked because I haven't opened my patcher for some time but I suspect it might have something to do with the upgrade from 9.0.7 to 9.1.1. Has some setting about OSC been introduced between these two versions I should be aware of?

~' video, I built this sampler for a project I am working on. How do I stop this from looping and instead playing it once and never again until the bang is hit again? I tried changing the groove~ object to groove~ SamplesOne @loop 0. I've removed the @loop attribute altogether, I've tried to replace the trigger with a bang, I've connected the bang to the groove object, to the sig~ object and nothing works. Thank you!

This is an FM kick for use inside poly. I'm using phasor driven cos~s here instead of cycle~s so that the modulating oscillators remain consistent between bangs. When testing inside the patch phasor phase reset works properly but, using it within poly, phase sometimes seems to fail to reset or resets to a wrong value (the mistake persists for a while).

I wonder what could be the issue here or if there is an alternative method to using phasor->cos?

Hello, I am new to this forum, so please be clement. I don't like to be reductionist, but for reasons I hope you understand, I have chosen to simplify my question by giving a simplified example that clearly illustrates my problem. 

I have a patch with three identical mc.function objects (same range and domain), each with two channels. Every time I modify one of these, the remaining objects must show the same curve for their respective channels, so that if I modify the curve of channel 2 of “funcA,” the same curve is faithfully reproduced in channel 2 of ‘funcB’ and “FuncC.” It's a sort of virtual link. I'm trying with a pair of sends and receives, but I'm not sure what the right formula is to send as a list to the various func. At the same time, I don't think I'm that comfortable using pattr. I've been advised to use a buffer to record the curves each time, but the original patch is already quite heavy and I don't want to complicate it further.

If it helps to understand the context of the general problem, the patch containing mc.function is loaded by poly~. I'm sure there's an easy way to handle this, but I don't know why I ended up in a loop of unnecessary complications that I can't get out of. Thanks in advance.

This is part of a series of tutorials on the Husserl3 design. All tutorials in this series:

This time it only took me a couple of hours to convert a polyphonic design into a multiphonic one. This tutorial describes how any number of voices can play different sounds set from any number of channels, with different parameters for each channel. I'll be describing how I'm running 16 MIDI channels with 128 parameters each on any of 32 poly~ voices, but the same technique generalizes to MC.gen~ with any number of voices and any number of parameters, within any available computational limitations. Also this tutorial contains a multiphonic voice allocator patch for MIDI and kslider notes.

While the technique is easy, this is an advanced tutorial that requires at least some acquaintance with Max buffers, pattrstorage, zl objects, gen codebox, Max polyphony, and javascript.

If you're wanting multiphony, really gen~ is the best option. It can do everything the msp~ audio processing objects can, and it is much faster. So first I got a polyphonic design working in a poly~ object in gen~., with all its params stored in pattrstorage.

That meant setting scripting names for all the panel controls, and using the same names for params in gen~, which was the majority of the effort. Using the same monicker for panel obects' scripting names and gen~ Params means for example you can send pattrstorage a 'dump' command and wire its output into gen~ to set Param values.

When I started on the naming thing, I didn't realize how much difference it would really make. Now I can use the same list of param names for javascript panel control, buffer peek/pokes, and midi i/o too. So it was worth the effort.

To convert the polyphonic design to multiphony, first I created a buffer~ called 'programs' with 16 channels, and one sample for each param value, as below. When the patch is closed, the freebang message saves the buffer's state, which is then loaded again when the patch is reopened. This snip also shows how I measure for CPU peaks. When the CPU peak is over 90%, I reduce the number of playing channels automatically.
