I'm trying to create a system where the sum of n sliders' values  is always equal to a specified range. 

When I move slider A for example, I want sliders B, C, D, E to be affected also.  If A increases,  B, C, D, E decrease. If A decreases, B, C, D, E increase.

My coding skills are really poor, so I can't properly explain what I want to achieve. However. below I have a patch that demonstrates what I want to achieve.

I cannot get the clue bar to go away. In the max preferences I've turned off the "Clues in toolbar" setting as well as unchecked "Clue Bar Shown by Default." In the patcher inspector windows I've set "Show Clue Bar on Open" to No (including subpatcher inspectors). But no matter what, when I open a patch it's there and I have to manually uncheck Clue Bar in the view menu for it to go away. Additionally, if I turn that setting off in the view menu for a subpatcher, close it, then reopen it the setting has returned.

I have confirmed that these setting are off in the preferences and inspector. Not sure if this is a bug or if I'm just configuring max or the patchers wrong. Would love some help with this.

I'm on mac os 14.5 (23F79), max version 9.09.

I want to do databending with Jitter, but I can't find an efficient way to do it.

I made some images by opening raw files in Photoshop and I want to do the same with Jitter.

I made the file "raw_example.jpg" with Photoshop, and it's exactly this kind of visual I want to achieve with Jitter.

I try to open raw files with sfplay and convert it into image with jit.catch and jit.gl.texture, but the result is not even close to what I made with Photoshop.

It seems that a subdiv in a newly loaded patcher wont evaluate a recently assigned prob value as soon as the transport starts...is there a workaround for this?

If you load up this example patcher and then start the transport, the first subdiv of 16 gets output according to subdiv's default @prob 1 while the following subdivs get the more recently assigned prob 0. On subsequent loops, no subdivs are output so its only that first loop where the new prob value isn't evaluated for the very first subdiv. 

This is a dumbed down example but its causing me problems in a sequencer device I'm building whereby the first note is often triggered when it shouldnt be or not triggered when it should be after my device has been loaded and the transport is started for the first time. Beyond that first time, the first subdiv is output correctly. 

For anyone who might want to test it more quickly by deleting/re-loading the device in Live i'll include an .amxd

I have this most simple device (1 live.path and 1 live.observer objects), and when I load it, it marks Live's undo history with a "Undo change" message.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on.

Could someone confirm this, maybe explain it, and even better, help me fix it ?

I'm a big fan of Loomer architect which  is also a dataflow program tailored made for midi , but sadly it has closed it doors .

It has a pretty nice module called 'data repeat 'with a variable repeat length ( expressed in ticks ) .

Example , when it receives a stream of numbers with regular intervals , it will hold the incoming nr for some amount of time untill the next one arrives 

One giff is max in action ( ignore the structure under the print ) , the output of the zl lookup is a pitch number shown in the console  

In loomer architect , the output goes into the 'data repeat 'set to 240 ( expressed in tick ) which equals 4 repeats .

I'm a bit  at loss how to re-create this effect in max

I want to simultaneously change the key of all of my audio clips in Ableton's clip view.

I've tried selecting all the clips and midi mapping the transpose dial. However, whenever you trigger a different audio clip, Ableton will transpose THAT clip instead of all of them.

It only transposes whichever transpose dial is on top. I don't know how to make sure that the grouped transpose option is always on top...

I need to know the polarity of an impulse train, positive or negative. It would be convenient to have a value of 1 if it's positive, and 0 or -1 if the pulses are negative. What objects can be used to do this ?

I have a plugin (Cinematic Rooms Pro) that is (or better can be) surround. In a DAW it automatically switches to the surround mode depending on the surround settings of the DAW and then shows a surround panner tab. When I use mc.vst~ @chan 6 for instance, I do get the outputs, but nut the pan tab. According Liquidsonic modern plug in implementation asks and gets this info from the DAW. How to get this info from the MAX mc.vst~ object?

Hi all,  this seems like a bug, as I didn’t find anything pointing out it’s an expected behavior:

I have a buffer~ with 8 different channels, and I’m sending a single ramp (0-1) via mc.dup~ 8 to mc.wave~ @chans 8.

However,  as output, which is sent to mc.daw @chans8  there are 8 identical channels - they all are playing the first channel in the buffer. 

(Yes, I need to use mc.wave~ for the task)
