In addition to being a “noise-maker,” I’m also a soccer coach.During our practices, we very often use cognitive stimuli in combination with soccer drills.

One of these stimuli is the use of a metronome. It has been scientifically proven that during technical drills where each player has a ball, their focus and level of performance increase. This also promotes synchronization within the team, which in turn boosts team spirit.

So I’ve come up with the idea of trying to patch a “cognitive soccer metronome” using Max MSP.

Here are the features I want to add to the metronome:

- A simple metronome that beeps at a specific tempo.

- The metronome must be able to automatically drift in BPM

 (e.g., from 90 BPM to 100 BPM in 30 seconds)

(teaches players to listen and adjust their movements to the tempo)

I’d like to be able to turn this feature on or off with a knob.

Also, a field or presets where I can specify the BPMs and time.

Presets that I can click on seem like an easy way to switch between them with a single click during soccer practice.

-Play the beep’s pitch one octave higher or lower once, at random intervals. I’d like to be able to set the minimum and maximum durations for the random interval. 

(e.g., min 10“ max 20”; the metronome will then choose a random time between 10“ and 20” to play a single beep one octave higher or lower)

(This is to give players an extra task when the pitch changes. For example, pitch up = raise left arm, pitch down = raise right arm)

-Just as the pitch changes once at a random time, it would be fun to also be able to play an audio sample (e.g., calling out a number/color/sound) at a random interval.

(The player must perform an additional action upon hearing a number, color, or specific sound.)

It would be nice to be able to quickly activate the metronome’s “cognitive functions” with the click of a button.

A place where I can drop the “sounds” from which a random selection is made would be very practical.

Perhaps when playing a sound randomly, I could choose which group of samples to activate—or a combination of both. 

So, a separate area where I can drop the number samples and activate them separately, an area for the colors with a separate activation knob, and a separate area for the other sounds with a separate activation knob.

-Another feature I’d like to add is simply a looper where I can choose which sound loop to play with tempo changes. (e.g., a drum loop where players have to find the tempo of the beat and perform their exercises on the beat)

I’d also like a feature here where the tempo can drift. It should be activated with a mouse click and include presets for tempo and time.

-Maybe also a feature where a different beat plays randomly at times.

Who can help me get started on this project?

Pretty newbie question, but I have been avoiding upgrading to v9 because I have been working on a years long project in 8 and I’ve been concerned about things breaking in a (complicated) patcher. If I upgrade and that happens, is it easy to go back? I only ask now because there are a couple new features that would actually be super helpful in my endeavours. Sorry for a stupid question. I lurk the forum every day and you’re all an inspiration. Thanks!

Hi everyone. I’ve been posting on here for a while about ArtNet, and I’ve decided to bite the bullet.

I’m looking for a freelancer who would be able to code a native Max object which sends and receives artnet from Max. This object would then be open sourced so that there is a possibility of maintaining it long term.

I‘d be keen to keep the scope of the object limited - for example not incorporating complex fixture assignment features etc. I have a lot of artnet equipment which can be used to develop on, although I’d also probably expect whoever might be interested in this to have a good amount of experience in the lighting world.

This is self funded as a project, but I do have a budget. Maybe this is a long shot but I was wondering if anyone might be interested?

I'm trying to make a (presumably) simple M4L patch that receives a MIDI note and subs a random note number for the one received, maintaining the velocity.  I'm finding this is not so simple because there's no way to track note-offs, since the input note number is different from the output note number.  

Any strategies here?  Not looking to make this more complicated than it needs to be.

I've been digging deeper into lots of things and just searching for different options to play with when it comes to upsampling/oversampling, antialiasing and filters. I've got some examples of 4x interpolation; doing the process 4 times and then interpolating which filters out before nyquist... (from this forum thx to stkr and ernest)

but can I do a simple zero stuffing type upsampling in gen~? 

I dont need the accuracy of oversampling, just the temporary higher nyquist frequency. I tried using interp, input 1 my signal, input 2 being 0 with a factor of 0.5 interpolation but I didn't appear to work. Has anyone else tried this?
