I've spent the last 7 years developing Max devices solely focused on amplifying what you can do using MIDI inside Ableton to create Light-shows and stage visuals, and I've hit a roadblock...

I am attempting to make a max for live device that can listen to the audio flowing from the master track in Ableton, react to it, and generate MIDI visuals that are then sent out to hardware devices, as well as jitter devices that react and simulate these MIDI visuals, but have an ability to record the jitter feed where the visual have synced audio to the visuals that i am recording.

Currently i am achieving this by using the plugsend~ object on a secondary device to send the audio from the Master track (for example) into my MIDI device so i can sync the audio with the recorded MIDI visuals.

I am seeking a new approach, where the entire device is contained within itself, no secondary device needed, the MIDI device is able to listen to audio elsewhere in my Ableton set, and sync the recorded visuals to the recorded audio.

I've been tinkering with the ability to listen to the audio from other tracks, and have discovered that this is possible if the device type is set to audio. However, this is not an option, as all of my visuals respond to MIDI flowing through the MIDI device. I could absolutely create a second device to transmit the MIDI but then we're in the same boat, two devices...

It's a little bit out there, i know, but if there is any way of achieving the ability to, within a MIDI device, listen to the signal from an audio track, without the use of a secondary device, that would be absolutely perfect.

If anyone knows a way of accomplishing this, that would be super helpful. Always happy to provide more context if necessary!

I am using sfrecord~ in order to record the audio from my audio interface. I'm using aif format but wonder if I could use wav instead?  

Any reason to choose one over the other?

I've followed the tutorials below to make a step sequencer with adjustable length. What I'm having trouble with is the ability to keep the note values and on/off values of higher steps when the sequence is shortened. 

For example if I have a 16 note sequence I like, to be able to shorten it to 11 notes, and then lengthen back to 16 and have the original 16 note sequence I liked (with the same note values in the multi-slider and same on/off triggers in the matrixctrl).

Is this possible and if so I'd really appreciate any help - thanks so much!

I've noticed that when I use the Max Project Manager to create a Standalone, the project files in the "other" do not get included in the standalone.  This is painful because it means I have to manually re-add them... in the right place... every time I update the patches and rebuild the standalone.

* .dll's that my externals depend on.   These need to be manually added to the "resources/support" folder inside the standalone.

* Fonts.  These need to be added to a "resources/fonts" folder that I create myself inside the standalone.

This manual fiddliness is pretty disruptive to rapid iteration when testing and distributing my standalone.  

Does anybody have any recommendations or best practices around this?  Is their any way to set my project so that when I build it as a standalone, all of its components are included and in the right place?

Greetings!

I saw someone on another forum ask for advice on how to implement a real PLL using Max/MSP. It seemed like a great task for gen~, so I put this patch together. The gen~ object creates a square wave internally and tries to lock onto the signal from a cycle~ object.

PLLs can be a tricky subject, but playing with the patch doesn't require understanding the math. I tried to add comments about how tuning controls affect the behavior.

This implementation uses a "bang-bang" phase detector and a PI control loop.

For the interested, wikipedia has a lot of information on PID control loops:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PID_controller

I removed the "D" term to simplify things.

right - but is a bit of a Frankenstein's monster of things bolted together, including a gen~ resurrection of the ancient grooveduck~ (if anyone remembers that?) written by Graham Wakefield. 

What it does - nearly does - is simple: it records a loop in time with the transport clock, starting and stopping the recording of the loop on the next 'downbeat',  using  a primed onebang.

BUT I can't figure out how to have it start playing from the start of the buffer as soon as the loop is done recording: there's always a pause.

It if was just a ~groove object, I'd send it a 0 message, but opening the gen~ object just baffles me  because there's no ~groove in there (and reminds me that I must get Graham's book and learn about gen~ properly)

In the meantime - can anyone help with the final step in this patch? 

This is nearly right - but is a bit of a Frankenstein's monster of things bolted together, including a gen~ resurrection of the ancient...
