The second tutorial - a MIDI Stepper tool that can be worked completely from the front panel of the Push - is now up. This one is javascript-based, so if you are "creative coder", you might find it rather interesting. And if nothing else, the device is pretty cool! Let me know if you run i...

I'm spending the month doing some Push programming using MfL, and thought I'd post up a note here... You may have already seen the link to the first tutorial on the Ableton main page, but you can see an overview (which will also contain links to my work-in-progress) at the following (shortened) link...

We posted an earlier note about a workshop that we are doing in Madison, WI on March 15-18. I'm going to be teaching this with Gregory Taylor, and we are going to introduce a new curriculum for teaching Max beginners. In order to get more "test subjects", we are offering free admittance to...

Well, I enjoy doing these sorts of videos. I'm open for any "PLAY"-oriented videos that people might suggest, but I'm just not sure what to do next...

Ideas, please?

The Loop Shifter video alone does a really nice job of explaining what on the surface looks like an intimidating little beast! agreed, Loop Shifter is a LOT more powerful than it appears on the surface. if you have a short attention span skip to about 20 minutes into the video to see the real phrea...

Thanks, jon, for the link-up and kind words. I guess it is a telling tale that I work on this stuff all week, then spend my weekends making videos about it!

I'm hoping to improve the quality in the near future, but I hope these are helpful in the meantime.

Still, I'm loving the M4L product overall (even if I am trepidatious about it's seemingly limitless possibilities!) and will be first in the queue to purchase when it goes on sale next week. I only hope that in the coming months some of the feedback the development team have received through the be...

Very nice work, Jon.

The incoming phasor~ input determine the buffer length for both recording and playback. If you want to limit playback to the first three segments of the buffer, you will have to manage the "steps" message input to select only those for playback - and manage the turnaround at the end of the...

I think the intention is that you are "sliding the keyboard upward", which reveals lower note. This might just need a little more info...

I'm sorry that you had to wait on these, but we wanted to put together a package of things that worked well, and would provide people with the right elements for compositing their own patches. Sorry that it took so long, but I hope it was worth the wait. These pieces were done by Manuel Poletti, an ...

I've noticed this with the Feedback Network as well. We are testing a solution right now. Pity, since Feedback Network is one of the Pluggo devices that I use most often. Hopefully we will have a solution soon.

line~ is a smoothing tool. It goes from wherever it is at, to wherever you want it to go, smoothly over a period of time. So, if the last value you sent it was 0.0, and you send it the message "1.0 500", it will smoothly ramp from 0.0 to 1.0 in 500 milliseconds. You will see line~ all over...

It's getting late. On first read, I thought you said that tomorrow you are getting a lunchbox.

Oh man...

If you want to make a buffer (or other named item) be specific to a single device, prepend the name with three dashes. So, instead of calling a buffer "dogboy", you would call it "---dogboy". During runtime, the "---" is internally translated into a number (like "0...
