I got an issue when capturing UHD video via a Blackmagic PCIe card using the device

The captured image is fine when using @output_texture 0 but it is half the width with artifacts when using @output_texture 1. See the screenshot attached.

Is there a solution to get the full width resolution for @output_texture 1 ?

are working in terms of texture resolution.

By the way, DeckLink Quad HDMI Recorder [Native]/ @output_texture 1 is the only setting where I am able to achieve 60fps as mentioned here:

Update: It does happen with FHD input source even worse, see attached screenshots

I am running a patch that hosts 60 jit.phys.bodies with the following initial attributes:

jit.phys.body @mass 0 @force 0 0 0 @restitution 0 @scale 0.02 @filterclass other @filters other @collisions 1

anyhow, the jit.phys.body outputs the collisions-dictionary, though for some reason 

… when obvious collisions occur, these are sometimes not reported.

Does this happen inbetween frames and is thus ignored? Any help would be fantastic.

That being said, I have decided against jit.phys.multiple for several reasons, mainly because I can handle bodies and their collisions individually without parsing the entire collisions-dictionary and the 

 method does not work as expected, or at least I am unable to understand the exact message body required… I have left Rob Ramirez without a reply in the 

 so far because I even have difficulties setting up a patch that highlights the problem comprehensively.

It will be difficult also to share a patch here since it involves poly~ and numerous other stuff which could cause the problem. Would just like to know if anyone has a fraction of an answer to this.

I was just wondering why there is no support for bitwise  operators when writing expressions with jit.expr or inside jit.gen?

You can work around this with arithmetic, but it can get tedious real fast, especially when considering the normalization behavior of jit.expr and jit.gen (more on this later).

Say you want to do bit-packing with jit.matrices. we can easily do this with normal jit.op objects like, jit.&, jit.|, jit.^, jit.~, jit.<<, jit.>>

While the jit.expr reference states: "The expression can contain any operator available from within 

" -  this just doesn't seem to be the case, not sure if I've missed something? Or if it uses different syntax? Can't find anything in the documentation regardless.

Now regarding the normalization behavior of these objects, it would be nice to be able to turn this off, if possible, for instance when you are working with char matrices.

I want to store variable "A" as 1bit int, and variable "B" as 7bit int, within the 8bit char matrix "C".

This is trivial enough with max objects, or jit.op, but when doing it with jit.expr or jit.gen, we first have to use arithmetic which should be less efficient than bitwise? We also have to counter their normalization like so:

- wont work, since char matrices passed have values normalized to 0. - 1. internally  in jit.expr

- sort of works but now precision is off, unless we set the jit.expr object to float64 (more memory overhead for larger matrices)

finally this works, and hence my (hopefully polite) complaint about the tediousness of these objects :-)

- ie multiplying char matrices by 255, then doing integer arithmetic, then dividing by 255 again before output, since jit.expr likes to do its own scaling already.

hopefully I'm not the only one who would like to see the introduction of bitwise operators in these cases.

Can shutting down the projector connected to Mac running Max/Jitter via HDMI cause Max to freeze?

I'm trying to figure out why my Max patch stropped responding during a performance. The patch uses Mubu (not in a very computation intensive way) and Jitter (very simple: two clips - texture outputs - that are crossfaded). There are 3 audio inputs to Max, 6 channels routed to Live (Blackhole 16) and stereo pair out with a Scarlett.

I've been running this patch for the past two weeks with no issues at all during rehearsals even under stress (triggering commands like a monkey, leaving it on for a couple of hours, etc). The only difference is I wasn't using an external monitor or projector.

At the show I was projecting via HDMI and everything worked flawlessly for the sound check, dress rehearsal and even a final quick run-through of the entire program. However, during the show, at the start of my piece, the video was jumpy, slowly got worse, and eventually the entire patch stopped responding (or responded to some things and not others). The audio also got worse but Live responded. I even shut of the DSP in Max and turned it back on to see if that liberated something.

I've run through my patch looking for mistakes or memory traps or...Help please!

I am experiencing inexplicable behaviour of gl-objects when mixing various textures as simple jit.gl.videoplanes in poly~. The jit.gl.node they all draw to captures the textures randomly and mostly not at all; most noticeably it draws a black texture as soon as the poly~-patchers are closed (which is of course their default state), the textures themselves appear black too along the way. Even other sub patchers along the cascade of further FX sometimes need to be opened to see anything further down the line. It is in fact hard to explain and sharing the patch is far from useful since it contains too many dependencies. perhaps my macMini's performance is reaching its limit although the framerate is constant and smooth. 

This behavior, however, is not linked to any [active] object in the patches nor are there any conflicting layers which overwrite the visible content. By simply closing respective sub patchers with the videoplanes the bug (?) is easily reproduced here in this setup. Any ideas? Anyone?

It is actually quite urgent for me to find a solution.

I am running the latest Max version and am on macOS Sonoma (14.2).

Many thanks for the vsynth package, I'm enjoying it a lot, great work. One thing I would like to see is the capability to automate effect parameters, eg on the rota object. Is this something you are considering?

Hi Paul, thanks for your words.
Taking into account we are inside Max and there are a lot of snippets out there to automate things, I won’t develop them myself (at least not for now). I’m focusing on the oscillators, cv_ins, envelopes, filters, that is, all that has to do with video synthesis. However, for the next update, I’m adding a control inlet in every module so you can externally control them in a Max-style way with whatever you want! Here is a screenshot that exemplifies this better. You can see I’m controlling parameters with Beap and Vizzie (but this can be whatever you want) by adding just one or two simple Max objects.


That's great news - being able to control vs parameters with standard Max objects will be even better. I think I had - incorrectly - assumed you were aiming for a fully self contained system. This will be much better.

v1.0 was released yesterday fellows, go grab it through the package manager! Lots of new features!


Hi . First of all thanks for this brilliant tool. I tried your beta and was loving it ! im dying to try the new version  ,but the max package manager doesnt like me today. any manual way of installing it? otherwise i will just wait
THANKS , great job!


Thanks Carlo. Yes, I uploaded the package to gumroad for those with an older version than Max 7.1. Place it under /Documents/Max 7/Packages.

Thanks a lot. Working really smooth this new update.
Thanks for all that examples !
