    I uploaded two demo patchers to iLocker. (day03a.maxpat and day03b.maxpat) day03a just adds ctlin/ctlout and pgmout to the basic note pass through patcher from day 1. day03b adds two ways to control the toggle of the random arpeggiator patcher. The first way uses a midi key to turn the toggle on and off (user control).…

    Not exciting, but a necessary bookkeeping thing… I looked back over old posts, and it turns out that I hadn’t been very consistent with my post title tag for computer music 3/mumet 242.

Scroll down for each successively more involved patcher. I plan on using this starting patcher as my way…

    Uncommented patches are in iLocker. Look for day7x-scratch.txt files. (3 files) Commented versions will follow. New objects: coll: stores lists of data with arbitrarily assignable index symbols. Lists don’t have to be same length, and through the intelligent use of symbols you can recall data with musically meaningful names. iter: like unpack, it breaks a…

    Program Help Documentation is available in the Documentation sub-folder of the MaxMSP 4.6 application folder. The Max46Fundamentals.pdf and Max46Tutorials.pdf files are useful at the beginning. The Max46Reference.pdf covers every object available in Max. Note that documentation with the “Max” prefix refer to the non-audio objects. “MSP” labeled doc’s deal with the audio objects. Mouseover help…
