I'm designing a sequencer for a hardware MIDI device, and I'm looking for a way to set the MIDI CC 16 Automation line to a selected value in the range of a selected note. Is it possible to write Automation values from M4L, either as a MIDI Effect or MIDI Tool, without having to record Automation output in real time?

Hello everyone, i'm having a problem using jit.gl.multiple. I'll explain it.

Take a jit.gl.gridshape bound to a jit.gl.multiple (through left jit.gl.multiple outlet):

jit.gl.multiple @blend_enable appears to be useless, i can't see any variations changing it. 

Case 4. shows that is possible to work with both light and alpha channel activated. The problem is that I want to change A channel with jit.gl.multiple and not with jit.gl.gridshape while having light_enable 1. If I could modify alpha channel with jit.gl.multiple while light_enable is 1, it would give me more possibility to change it individually on each copy made with jit.gl.multiple, unless to do it globally. I can't figure out how to do it. I hope someone can help me.

As the title states, the 4th outlet does not work. It's supposed to send the integer number of the preset that just got stored, but nothing comes out. 

This is even true in the help file - I can set a break watchpoint, store a new preset (or overwrite an old) and nothing shows up on that outlet. The outlet that sends out an int when a preset is recalled works fine, but this one doesn't.

Am I doing something wrong, or is it broken?

patcher-4Loopers-rnbo-1.4.3.rnbopack

Here is a device I'm working on. It consists of 4 loopers, it's still pretty basic for now.

The first looper (on the left) sets the basic length.

 , since you can't start playback once a Looper has been stopped (this will be fixed).

The next loopers are quantized (as in Live, ie you need to press 

The device doesn't monitor the Input signal.

 in this patch show the expected results, both the Kalider-direct output and the "txKalid" texture output show the noisy Kalider colors.  But, the 

 window showing the 3d output of the "colorCrossfader" shader is not showing those Kalider texture colors, even though coded to do so.

color = mix(txKalidVec, color, colorOffsetScale);

//color = mix(txChixVec, color, colorOffsetScale);

output the exact same colors (crossfade results) when you swap which line is commented out.  In other words, it seems to me like the "txKalid" texture reference in the shader code is pointing to the "txChix" texture's memory location instead of its own memory location.  Could that be correct?  Or, where is the mistake I'm missing?

Edit: moved thread to Jitter category.  If you remove the @shader attribute from one of the gridshape objects, the "default shader" for that object does a 50/50 "blend" of the two @texture inputs in 

, so I think I should be able to control that "blend amount" in my custom shader with the "colorOffsetScale" parameter value.  But, not working.  Is it me? It's usually me.

I am attempting to create a live audio looper device for my personal use. Ideally this looper has provisions for:

I have explored the following objects/externals with mixed results:

Live looping seems to be a rather ubiquitous performance technique these days. I am a novice with MaxMSP, so I feel like I'm probably missing some obvious solution to my problem (as is often the case with Max!) 

Can anyone suggest some reading material and/or example patchers and/or objects to explore?

 I have read mention of the xsample~ externals, so I plan on having a look at those.

Clicking on a MIDI Clip [live.path] sends out an id which goes to [live.object] to get the path of the Clip. I don't understand why it works only with [deferlow] right after [live.path]. Can anyone explain this?

I can't get coll to store or recall anything in my normal patch or even in the .maxhelp for coll. I'm working on 9.07 on mac ARM. It seems like I can't actually have the coll open, if I do nothing happens.

Are there any bugs or similar I should know about or am I just doomed?
