abstractions

red-framework

framework for stacking, chaining and mixing max/jitter patches. been working on it since 2006 and now contains >100 modules.
hosted at _code.google.com/p/red-framework
download via svn.

f0.abs

a bunch of abstractions that someone might find helpful including:

• f0.active - help to turn off processes if inactive in more than x ms
• f0.average_tempo - gives an average tempo of the last n bangs
• f0.bounds - detect if a xy location is within the bounds of a shape
• f0.clock - slow down metro/line/delay/pipe/clocker/timeline objects

misc

max java - buf.Op extras

with this copyFrom method you can select and copy into a msp buffer at any position. to install open the java source code for buf.Op from within max with 'viewsource'. then paste this code at the end of that document - just before the last closing curlybracket. save, press cmd+k and click compile. last restart max. notice that this will be overwritten whenever you update max.

	//redFrik 050513, 051128, 060927
	public void copyFrom(String frombuf, long destoffset) {
		copyFrom(frombuf, destoffset, 0);
	}
	public void copyFrom(String frombuf, long destoffset, long srcoffset) {
		long length= MSPBuffer.getSize(frombuf);
		copyFrom(frombuf, destoffset, srcoffset,  length-srcoffset);
	}
	public void copyFrom(final String frombuf, final long destoffset, final long srcoffset, final long srcsize) {
		MaxSystem.deferLow(new Executable() {	
			public void execute() {	
				int channels= MSPBuffer.getChannels(frombuf);
				for(int i= 1; i<=channels; i++) {
					MSPBuffer.poke(bufname, i, destoffset, MSPBuffer.peek(frombuf, i, srcoffset, srcsize));
				}
				outlet(0, "done");
			}
