I have 3 microphones set up on a source. I need a patch that plays the live microphones for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes live audio, they mute for 5 minutes.

Whilst the microphones are live, Max records the live audio, then reverses it. For 5 minutes the reversed audio is heard and the live audio is muted.

After 10 minutes when both forward and backward versions are heard, the system clears and starts again, going live for 5 minutes, then reverse. The process repeats ad-infinitum until told to stop.

My initial idea was two parallel processes. The first a simple timed On/Off on a 5 minute loop, the second being the buffered/reversed signal, with then some toggle between the two processes.

This is my first real project on Max and I only have v7 (I bought Max many years ago thinking it might be useful for installations etc. but I've always got by with Ableton for jobs since!)

I've attached what I have so far but I'm rather stuck and overwhelmed at the amount of information I'm trying to take in. Any help greatly appreciated!

I'm trying to create a Max patch that uses either a keyboard split or a separate midi controller to control the strumming of keys of a held chord on the primary controller.   The general idea would be strumming notes like a guitar.  The general idea would be to play a chord with one hand but then to iterate through the chords using the other controller/zone, which would be drumpads.

There's a strum patch that does this with pitchbend or modwheel, and I created a preprocessor that converts my strumming notes to PB, but it's kind of wonky and the results don't work well.  It needs to be fast because the strumming will eventually come from drumpads.

I've gotten as far as splitting my controller, so I can debug it using one keyboard.  And I can capture the list of notes for both the chord and the strumming.  But I'm not sure how to combine them.  I want to play the notes on the chord side, using the velocities and gates from the strum side.

Hi! I'm working with MIDI in Max and I have a situation where the same note (e.g. MIDI note 60) is played twice in quick succession — meaning two note-on events are triggered before any note-off.

I'm splitting note-on and note-off handling into separate parts of my patch, but I want to make sure that 

note-off is only sent after all note-ons have been released

Basically, I want to keep track of how many times a note has been triggered, and only send the note-off when the count for that note reaches zero.

, where every key press — regardless of pitch — triggers the next note in a pre-defined sequence. The sequence can include the 

, so a single note might be "turned on" multiple times before it's supposed to turn off.

Is there a clean way to implement this kind of reference counting for MIDI notes in Max?

I am controlling a set of live.dials with a multislider for a fixed filterbank. 

When the multislider sets the input of live.dial the output is not sent via the 1st output. 

How do I send the input of a live.dial onwards to the output?

Everything works fine with B1 and B2: they record and play back correctly.

But B3 and B4 don't seem to record anything — even though:

I have some patchers from the early 90's I'd like to update. Is there a working methodology?

I often use #0 as a creation argument for patchers so they can send and receive to the parent patcher. Like in my main patcher window I'll have a couple .maxpat objects [myobj #0 1] and [myobj #0 2], and those in turn might have nested objects that use the same trick. I know I could use inlets and patch cords but I find this neater and faster in the long run.

However, I can't seem to use this trick with bpatchers. I know how to set the arguments in the inspector, but it doesn't convert #0 to a wildcard. Anybody know a way?

I’m experiencing an issue in Max/MSP where the tooltip that usually appears when hovering over the inlet or outlet of an object is no longer showing up. I’m not sure why this suddenly stopped working.

I’ve checked the preferences and couldn't find any setting that would turn off tooltips.

I tried restarting Max/MSP and opening a new patch, but the issue persists.

My Max/MSP version is up to date, and I haven't changed any settings recently.

Has anyone encountered this issue before or know of a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
