ATTRACTR a Vizzie Module

Please note that we are no longer taking submissions for Tools and no longer supporting the Tools section, so you may run into broken files and URLs. You can contribute to the Cycling '74 Community by submitting a Package or using the forums instead.

Here's a Vizzie generator module based on André Sier's marvellous Chaos library Navier-Stokes object. It gives you properly Vizzie-scaled outputs for each of the 5 component parts of the equation, a output of the average of all these values, and inverted versions (whose high and low values are reversed), too - 12 juicy data outputs for your Vizzifying pleasure. Although I haven't found that I need or use them, the facilities are included to create your own presets, too.

In order to run the module, you'll have to install André Sier's Chaos library objects.

To install, copy the grabbr-patch.maxpat file to
the VIZZIE-PATCHES folder (located inside the patches
folder in your Max application folder), and copy the ATTRACTR.maxpat file to the VIZZIE GEN folder inside the VIZZIE-CLIPPINGS folder (located inside the clippings folder in the patches folder in your Max application folder).

Does this module work in Max 7?

Max Gardener

Sure does. It's IN Vizzie in Max 7 (under Generators), where it pumps out the numbers jus' fine.

meeble

thanks - good to know - I was wondering if there was an issue with the Chaos library objects in Max 7, specifically.

meeble

got it working, and didn't have to instal the chaos modules. I wonder if they are already included in Max 7?

Max Gardener

You didn't need to install Andre Sier's stuff to run the ATTRACTR because it doesn't use the external object at all - that portion of the patch implements the equation using gen~.
