I could really use some help here. I have a very simple RNBO patch that plays a looped soundfile on a Raspberry Pi 4. The patch uses a simple ~buffer object with a WAV soundfile that is looped indefinitely, started with a loadbang. 

I've used this patch before without a problem.

In my current project, the patch launches and the soundfile plays just after export. The problem is that once the Pi is unplugged, it won't work when the Pi is plugged in again. I've never had this problem.

Hey! I am trying to make this credit roll in max msp, and here is the result that i got.

I do not like my approach of penciling in the area where the next event is flush and adding 0.1 as spacing. is there a suggestion to make this Credits roll more streamlined or ajustable?

lets say I would add an extra line of text, is there a way to make it responsive for correct spacing between each section.

I tried using the [if...] fonction to test if a value is between 0 and 1 this way :

[if $f1 > 0. || $f1 < 1. then $f1 else 0.]

[if $f1 > 0. || $f2 < 1. then $f1 else 0.] works

But I can't find out how to make two test on the same $f1

Hi everyone, again. Since I’ve been using Jitter a lot lately, I’ve been running into some strange behavior from time to time. Maybe it’s my mistake, or maybe it’s a bug to fix. I’m posting here to learn more about it and to get some opinion from who knows more about.

.node, when used as a 3D shapes aggregator, exhibits two “suspicious” behaviors:

.node don’t seem stable in the 3D plane of 

. They move on their own in strange ways when using 

(In the patch I built, try zooming in and out of the 3D space with the mouse, and you’ll see that the shapes created with the left algorithm 

.gridshape always remain consistent and stay in their positions, while those created with the right algorithm, which also uses 

.gridshape, do not remain consistent in space)

Maybe i need to link jit.gl.node to jit.gl.handle too in some way?

.node slows A LOT down the calculation in a way that is not linked only to the number of 3d vertices used, but there is more. Is that extra necessary or bug?

(In the patch I’ve built, try entering a high value for N (a high value for N depends on your computer: 300 generated shapes might be high for some and low for others) and generate N shapes using the algorithm on the left (

.gridshape), and notice how the movement of the 

.handle remains Always smooth (low computational cost even with high number of shapes generated); however, even if you set N/2 in the algorithm on the right that uses 

.gridshape instances, the total number of vertices used remains the same with N/2), there is a massive slowdown. At first, I thought there was a bottleneck between the GPU and CPU, but when you remove the 

.node, this doesn’t happen, even when the number of shapes constructed, and thus the number of vertices used with

Currently working on a project where I would like to use multiple camera feeds (ideally 4-5). I am testing out 3 webcams at the moment to see if it works. When I use two it's fine, but once I connect all three, the framerate for all three of them drops significantly. 

I am using 3 instances of jit.grab found from the help file, and (ultimately) using a midi controller to swap through the three camera feeds. I also found that making the metro value  attached to the jit.grab higher when a camera isn't being used has helped, but once the third camera is on, the framerate is still ridiculously slow.

Using a USB hub to connect two cameras to the laptop through one of the USB-C port, and then connecting the third camera through the second USB-C port.

I'm working on a patch to randomly generate amplitude values for a 30 channel MC granulator I made. 

The idea is that all of the amplitude values generated would add up to 1, but they could be randomly generated/distributed to automatically mix foreground/background sound among the 30 channels. 

N random values with  constant sum C. In this case, 30 random values with constant sum 1.
