[maxmsp] A patch for zooming a selected screen area with midi data.

I posted this patch a couple of days ago, into another post. Here it is again for anyone that hasn?t seen it. I?m proud of it, is not bad for a `one month-old max user?. For me it,ll be so useful over the stage, as I use to dance meanwhile change parameters and efects... away from my machine.

This is what I posted:

Hello again... this aka is too much!!.

He?s got almost anything. Thanks to aka.mouse and aka.keyboard I have done a patch to zoom in on a specified screen area. 

This patch is going to be so useful to anyone over the stage that want to change some parametes on a patch or a ableton live?s efect. you can asing a zoom in over it with the same cc or note number that turns your efects on. That way you won?t have to go to your screen as a blind mudafucka.

Remember you have to use the aka objects, you can get them here:

#P comment 372 108 189 196618 Then you have to go to `system preferences? -> `universal access? -> `mouse and trackpad? -> `open preferences panel keyboard? -> `zoom?. There you tipe to `zoom in? and `out? the shortcuts you want (for this patch I use opption+5 and opption+4 to zoom in and out). Ofcourse `zoom?is got to be activated and propperly configurated. It?s easy \, try yourself the different posibilities.;
