I'm building a circular looper in Max using buffer~ / groove~ / record~. 

Everything works except the overdub behavior: when I activate overdub, record~ always restarts writing from the beginning of the buffer instead of following the current playhead position of groove~.

I understand this is the native behavior of record~ when it receives an int 1 on inlet 0. The toggle driving the overdub is connected directly to record~ inlet 0, which causes the reset.

Removing the toggle record connection and using gate~ to control the audio signal instead

Using poke~ with the sync output of groove~ multiplied by the buffer size in samples

Neither approach worked correctly in my setup. 

The gate~ approach still has issues, and the poke~ approach introduced other problems.

The patch is a stereo looper with blend control (sound-on-sound style), tape noise via gen~, and wow/flutter. I'm attaching a screenshot.

The question: what is the correct, reliable way to overdub into a buffer~ following the exact playhead position of groove~, without resetting the write position on activation?

circularbuf.maxpat

Any working example or approach would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

I am making a piece with a behaviour like in guitar hero but generative.

my processing is extremely demanding, and I know this could be approached better with the help from my max community friends. 

In its curent state, my poly are at 20 instances, because I want to be able to generate a lot of notes; however, this means that there is a potential of 80 instances at the same time.

Also the path that these objects take are programed with [line], perhaps they could all run along an object's path (like a long rectangle gridshape)

This patch comes from logic that I found here:

https://cycling74.com/forums/sharing-poly-opengl-animator

Archive.zip

I have another design that Runs on jit.gl.multiple and is much more stable, but it does not have the look that I am looking for. Also I have to integrate a logic to allow me to have queue, so that I can transition between modes smoothly. (if you click the big bangs on the right, you'll get a sense of what I mean.

We are considering MAX/RNBO for a project using Raspberry Pi. The product will need to output Artnet DMX . Most probabbly through the Pi's Ethernet port.

Can this be achieved with RNBO? Has anyone managed to do similarly?

Hi all! I'm trying to figure out the best way to pass data to 

.buffer objects in real time, and I'm running into some difficulties.

I'm working on a project that involves drawing lots of planes. For the sake of performance, I'm trying to do everything with instancing, using 

.buffer. For each instance, I need to control 16 values in the shader, which potentially need to get updated smoothly every frame. I've been trying to pass the data over using four 

The system I built uses JavaScript to update the buffers. I tried doing this in a straightforward way by setting the data in matrices and then banging the buffers, but I found that only the first buffer to receive a bang in a given frame gets updated. I then tried using a round-robin approach to bang each buffer in turn on subsequent frames. This does cause all the buffers to get updated, but unfortunately the round robin approach leads to stuttery animation because the updates to each buffer are happening at 1/4 of the frame rate.

I was wondering if it would be possible to run the round robin approach faster than the frame rate, thinking that banging all the buffers within the time taken to draw one frame might resolve the problem. To this end, I decoupled the math from the bangs and tried using a high-speed 

 to fire the buffers sequentially inside a single frame. This didn't fix the issue - it still only updates one buffer at a time gets updated. However, it did reveal some surprising behaviour: the buffer that gets updated changes when alternately clicking on the Max patch and the Jitter window.

It seems like there's a something like a race condition going on with 

, and the first buffer to get updated in a frame is the only one that gets updated. I'm wondering if this is intended behaviour or a bug, and if there's a workaround.

I'm attaching a test setup comprised of the following assets:

buffer_sync_demo.maxpat

buffer_sync_demo.js

buffer_sync_demo_simultaneous.js

buffer_sync_demo_v8.js

buffer_sync_subframe.js

demo_instancing.jxs

The buffers are carrying data as follows:

These buffers are set up this way for the sake of this demo to make the issue obvious, but in my actual project, I need to use all 16 channels (actually 17, but I'm hoping I can pack the extra channel into the normal buffer, which I don't need to use for its standard purpose).

 that allows you to switch between the JS files and test out the different approaches:

Hi all! I'm trying to figure out the best way to pass data to jit.gl.mesh instances through multiple jit.gl.buffer objects in real time,...
