Hi,  I need to transfer a jit.matrixset with 315 HD images to a jit.gl.textureset, but I must be doing something wrong here, since loading the matrixset from jxf takes only 3512 ms CPU time, but the copy to the textureset takes 10015 ms !!!!

Can I better prepare  the textureset or the matrixset to speed up copying? 

 (the matrixset is 3 plane rgb for saving space; I don't need transparency in the textures, only while compositing layers.  I stumbled over mentions of uyvy being faster than argb. Is this relevant here?)

Do I need to do the copy asynchronously (loading does lock up the graphics for ~15s)?

Is there a way to load a jxf from disk into the textureset directly?

I'm still on Intel MBP 13" with Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 with only 1536 MB VRAM.   I understand that this problem is completely moot with AppleSilicon's unified memory, but my M3 is only arriving after the next gig...  =-(

Sorry for my incomplete background knowledge on graphics and OpenGL, always willing to learn!

Hi, I'm currently writing a 4ch tape music.

My audio samples are mono, so I'm currently using groove and outputting them to 4 channels.

But as you know, this is just 4 same signals going in to 4 channels so the spatial image isn't really there. it still sounds like mono.

how do i make some lfo, or any modulating source that i could put on every signal to get something live, living modulating source..that modulates the delay, and slight pitch.

I want to just make some set of objects that modulates the delay, pitch in the range of some subtle value so i could slap that set of objects to the signals and forget about it.

Basically I want every sound to be like a real orchestra.

In orchestra if the violin section plays the note A, because all violins are slightly tuned different and don't play at the exact same time because its impossible for human we get those rich sound.

I basically want to do that for my sounds.

I have a fairly complicated idea that I've been attempting to realise through generative systems but cannot get anything to work. Bare with me, I'll try explain as best I can!

The system follows the decimal series of pi and generates a midi output (say to be played on the diskclavier) that "flows" (sounds cohesive, from one 'segment' (say, bar) to another whether that be melodically, harmonically, etc.). To do this, I have paired each digit of the decimal series with the immediate succeeding digit to form these 'segments.' These two-digit combinations determine how many notes are played in each segment, and how many times it is played.

The idea of the work is that as the decimal series is played through, the "flow" will begin to falter as more and more two-digit combinations re-appear.

Any tips? Or perhaps an example of a similar concept that I can try and alter to produce this idea? Any insight would be great.

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?

i'm looking for an audio developer ? I'm based in France Lyon. 

Its for the development of a multiband limiter with FIR filter-based separation, to be compiled and run on Daisy Seed DSP.

Skills: Max/MSP, RNBO, C++ DSP, Daisy Seed.

Duration: 1–2 months, with possibility of continuation.

Is anyone interested ? Or can anyone put me in touch?

I'm trying to compile a sort of statistical heat map kinda thing using various standard classical repertoire, like feeding a Beethoven sonata into a histogram to see how the distribution of pitches falls. I have been avoiding learning how MIDI files work for a long time, but it seems like it's finally time. Thanks to this website 

https://www.kunstderfuge.com/beethoven/sonatas.htm

I have found good MIDI 'transcriptions' of the whole Beethoven sonata cycle, and I just need to figure out how to strip everything away except the actual notes. Casting about in the dark, I have been half-successful with [seq]-->[midiflush]-->['cycle 3'], but this often gets thrown off because not every midi event is a 3-number string(?) 

Basically, I need to strip everything away from this file (either while it plays or not) except for the note-on events (notes on and off would also be fine, I guess; I can divide by 2) to be able to feed only this data into a histogram. Any help understanding how the raw MIDI format works would be greatly appreciated!
