metro

This example shows how to create a “theremin” where the mouse position controls pitch and amplitude of a cycle~ with the x and y position respectively.

This example plays the first sixteen harmonics based on a fundamental frequency where the rate at which each harmonic play is period / # of harmonic. For example, with a period of 10000 ms—meaning the fundamental plays every 10000 ms—the 4^th harmonic will be heard every 10000/4 ms, or 2500 ms.

This example shows how to convert a value expressing “notes per second” into "milliseconds per note", which is a more useful value for the metro object.  The right side of the patch shows how to use the tempo object to specify tempo in bpm, and to specify the division of the whole note at which to output numbers indicating which division of the measure it's on.

This example shows how to use the function object for making tendency masks with breakpoint line segment functions (à la Koenig and as explained by Rowe) using a line object to progress through the functions that describe the minimum and maximum of the function’s range.

This program assumes that you have a folder of image files (jpg, etc.) that you want to show as a slideshow. This program also assumes that those images all have the same dimensions.

The program assumes images that are 320x240 pixels. If you want to use another size, you should change the dimensions of the jit.qt.movie objects and the size of the jit.window. Images that do not have a 4:3 aspect ratio will get distorted when shown fullscreen, unless some adjustments are made.

This patch demonstrates a method of storing and recalling sound in RAM using the buffer~ object and the various objects that can access a buffer.

This patch shows the basics of displaying a movie with Jitter, and also shows the use of movie attributes to learn and use important information about the movie, how to jump around randomly within the movie, an easy way to fade the movie in or out, and how to fill the computer screen with the movie.

This patch composes a melody in Minimal style, playing periodically-varying diatonic melodic loops of different lengths. A 16-stage sequence of velocity values is stored in one table, and a 32-stage sequence of pitch values is stored in another table.

This patch shows several of the most basic and useful Max objects.

A metro object (a scheduler of timed, repeated triggering messages) to trigger a counter (which keeps track of, and reports how many events it has received), and then uses the numbers from the counter to play notes on a MIDI synthesizer.

Here is a workaround for instantly changing the time interval of a qlim object without waiting for the current cycle to end.
