I'm working on a Lemur interface for buffer shuffler. I thought somebody might tell me what else I should add, and whether it works for them There will be a Live Device and a Lemur Project here momentarily:

Hi Mike,

well you're doing me a favour, that's for sure - that was one of the projects for today!
I'll test this once I get my lemur hooked back up. Really looking forward to this!

I just posted an updated version that fixes a rounding error that made it hard to select the top position. Also, I've added visual feedback of the freeze position.

Same link.

I think you've broken the file somehow? it won't download now.

Works here now. Try again. Maybe I was uploading while you were downloading.

New version has direction control. Because of the lemur, it is limited to 16 steps.

mz

Entering my Lemur IP doesn't seem to be sufficient to make the Lemurshuffler works...
Is there something else I forgot to configure ?
(BTW, the whole thing looks nice !)

• Set target 0 to your computer's IP address on the Lemur
• Set your Lemur's IP address in the Live device

..and you should be ready to go. However, my friend had a lot of trouble getting it working and I'm not sure why. Try toggling the steps up and down. Sometimes opening the Max editor will unblock things. Are both directions not working, or just one?

mz

PS just uploaded a new version with a minor fix to the direction controls.

I'm "that friend" MZ makes mention of below: I was able to get Lemur to Mac connection going very quickly. For some reason the Mac to Lemur communication wasn't working until...well....I'm not entirely sure WHAT made it work.
If you open up the device in Max, and check the Max window, do you see any error messages? Port 8000 error messages? I switched my lemur to port 8001, then back to 8000 and it started working. But, that SHOULDN'T have done anything....so I suspect coincidence, not causal relation.

I know that's not a lot of solid information, but it's what I have for now. I'd be happy to go back and forth with you to try to suss it out.

It's working 100% for me now. AND THANK YOU MZ for this!

Ok. After tweaking the "steps" I began to receive infos from m4l to the lemur (steps running, toggling of buttons,etc.). However, the lemur still doesn't
reflects each step position if I change them on the shuffler (multislider object doesn't change) and I can't control the shuffler from the lemur...
But it's a start full of promises !

thanks for the help.

I've just realized I hadn't check the max window. it says things like:

there is probably something already bound to this port.

My lemur sends on target 0 (8000). Certainly a problem here...

You need to download the CNMAT externals and place them in your Max path.

The link seems broken...

Good news !

I've downloaded the cnmat files from another location and (drums roll......): it works !!!
Great!
I notice that "freeze" and "dice" seem to be kind of locked together ("freeze" doesn't work alone and is triggered when "dice" is put "on" from the lemur).

thanks again for the help.

earmade

it's me again...

Now that I've included the lemurshuffler in my own lemur project I don't see the steps running anymore and the multislider (grids) reacts strangely (no grid, no color change, etc). Other things work fine.
Do I have to change anything in the max patch or maybe in the lemur ?

Just one more thing I forgot to talk about: the lemur shuffler is now part of a lemur tabbed container. Could be a osc name problem ? (strange cos' the osc path is set up in custom adress mode).
