pack

A max user asked the following:

I would like to create a virtual mixer with max and control Pro Tools 9. But pro tools does not have MIDI learn for the mixer.

Int, float, and list are all (normally hidden) message selectors that are assumed whenever Max encounters a message that consists of (respectively) a single int, a single float, or a multi-item message that starts with a number. Similarly, typing a single int, a single float, or any multi-item list that starts with a number directly into an object box assumes an object of type int (or i), float (or f), or list (or pack).

While zl lace interweaves two lists, zl group allows you to interweave more than two lists. Retrieve the length of the list using zl, send it to uzi to retrieve the data in each index stored in the coll files, and pack them all to be interweaved by zl group. 

This example shows how to preload a folder containing a large number of sound files into an sflist~ object by using the umenu and uzi objects.

Using any MIDI synth VST plug-in, you can control MIDI data such as modulation and volume.

For this example to work properly, you will also need to download the small image file "guitariste.jpg".

For this example to work properly, you will also need to download the small image file gourmet.jpg.

This example demonstrates how to assign an index number to an incoming number. Storage to the coll object is triggered with the keypress object.

This patch demonstrates some of the steps necessary to change a parameter automatically in a Max for Live device using the Live API. To use this patch, you will need the Ableton Live Studio application, and you'll need to paste the contents of this patch into the edit window of a Max for Live device.
