Bang Sprayer
I needed something like this so probably someone else does too.
All it does is sequentially send out bangs from left to right delayed by the the number of milliseconds entered.
There may even be something like this already in the Max library, but since I'm fairly new at this, I didn't know what it would be called.
But this did exactly what I needed it to so.
Hey Larry, when I paste this code I just get the text in an editor.
edit - the download works though
working here. make sure you don't copy the "code, pre" around the post.
thanks for the utility~
Interesting, same problem here: code is not recognized as a Max patch (Both Max 6 & 7 OS X 10.9.5)
I think it's to do with extra formatting that this page does - for some reason I think it has some line break nonsense going on automatically.
Here is a related abstraction I sometimes use, which I call "timedbangs", that sends out x bangs at y-millisecond intervals.
BTW, WordPress converts triple hyphens to a single m-dash, and it converts double hyphens to a single n-dash, so the hyphens in the begin and end lines got messed up in the original post. There should be 10 hyphens before and after the begin line, and 11 hyphens before and after the end line.
I don't know what is going on with the Copy Compressed function within Wordpress. But obviously, it's changing it somehow.
I copy compressed, then I closed Max, then I tested it by using "New from Clipboard" and it shows up just fine.
Then I paste that EXACTLY SAME CODE into this post, copy it and try to open it in Max using "New from Clipboard" and it does NOT work - it just shows text.
I wonder if Wordpress is altering the code?
hah ! in a single textedit i replaced the hyphens as suggested by Christopher Dobrian (----------begin_max5_patcher---------- and -----------end_max5_patcher-----------) then i copied from there, pasted in Max, and it worked :)
damned WordPress!
