A few useful abstractions I've created to help me out in my everyday patching. Some simple and some not-so-simple stuff, just a little something.

Here's a brief description of the contents (more detailed description in the README.maxpatt file)

lao.auto: automates a stream of input.lao.auto2: identical to [lao.auto] but works with two inputs simultaneously (e.g. for use with [pictslider]lao.divbang: outputs a [bang] after X bangs have been receivedlao.hoh: "hit or hold", if you hit a key it changes one toggle; if you hold that key for more than 100ms it shows a different toggle, which shows 1 for as long as that key is pressed and 0 when it's lifted.lao.kkup: a combination of [key] and [keyup], it outputs 1 when a specified key is held down, and 0 when it is releasedlao.mx: mutually-exclusive toggles; cross-attach a lao.mxt object with an argument (e.g. lao.mxt lolz) to a toggle, and any similar instances (and other toggles cross-attached to lao.mxt toggles with the same argument) will be mutually exclusive, even if they are put in subpatchers. the argument/group can be changed through the second inletlao.nipplebang: n-ple bang, it outputs a bang if X bangs have been received within Y millisecondslao.rand: a randomiser with more options, you can define minimum and maximum values, as well as step size (works with floats and negative numbers too)

This is a collection of various tools, tricks, techniques for using the magic trackpad in controlling various objects in the Max/MSP environment, including sliders, multisliders, matrices, waveforms, even potentially using the trackpad as the monome arc!

This toolbox uses the external [fingerpinger] by Michael and Max Egger (which is included) and a basic requirement is a post-2008 intel macbook with a multitouch trackpad, or a Magic Trackpad and compatible software (e.g. Mac OSX Snow Leopard or later).

Feel free to share, and get in touch if you end up using this in some exciting project, it's great to hear how others are finding ways to use the trackpad with Max/MSP!
