Delicious Max/MSP Tutorial 8: Circular Sequencer (Part 1)

[@secretdecoder]

I saw the Bonus round version of this video first. WOW - frakking brilliant idea! Love that you can so easily on the fly make strange subdivisions of the measure and easily see them. Thanks for sharing! Working my way through all your tutorials.

Finally did it thank you, I had to screw it up so many times, but I appreciate your guidance.

Note for people rocking it old school (i.e. Max 4.6): After xpos & ypos are calculated they often yield float answers. You need to convert these to integers otherwise Max puts every toggle with a non-integer set of coordinates on top of each other. Strange! Anyway: create two extra variables xposInt and yposInt. After the Math.sin calculations you need: xposInt = parseInt((xpos)); yposInt = parseInt((ypos)); And later: this.patcher.newobject("toggle", xposInt, yposInt, toggleSize, 0);

@PinePtones Excellent idea. Everyone do this from now on. For my videos, anyway.

I had the same problem that autowatch didn't work. I put the line "autowatch = 1;" (without quote marks, of course) in the top of the javascript file. It now works as expected.

idk why anyone would do this, but if you use the actual pi symbol (π) instead of typing "PI", the js file doesn't work. no compiling errors, they just dont like the π

[@kakinokimasa]

As a trigonometry beginner, using "cos" for "xpos" instead of "sin", and removing "- Math.PI/2" makes sense more easily. Correction or advice is very welcome!

Hello, the page otherbirds.com throws a virus warning in firefox MaOs. Do you have the js file in other page?

Hey Guys, I am following this amazing tutorial, but when I put the Js file with the Max patch, Max 8 just Crushed and I can't work anymore. When I put Js file out, max works just fine, Any help ? Thank you in advance !

[@dude837]

oh snap, really? I'll have to try that tomorrow, see if I can reproduce

[@sebastiancolarte900]

I didn't know what happened, I follow all the instruction until the part 2, I did work the toggles with the counter and everything, and suddenly max8 crashed. I tried to open it again and nothing. After that I decided to take off the Js file and then max start to work again. To be sure I did the experiment 3 times, something is happened between max and Js. Thank you !

[@sebastiancolarte900]

definitely there is a problem with JS file, I tried to sent it to a friend and the server of gmail could not send it

[@DarkShroom]

excellent tutorial thanks
