umenu

This patch shows a simple way to automate the loading of movies in a jit.qt.window.

This example shows how to retrieve a list of MIDI input devices and display them in a umenu object.

This exmaple demonstrates how to synchronize MIDI note length with a tempo determined by the transport object. The translate object has a "transport" attribute which allows control through the transport object.

To switch between folders of a slideshow in jitter (explained here) you can set the prefix or folder (i.e. the file path) of the umenu object with the prefix message, then clear and populate it.

To translate numbers that occupy a particular range into an equivalent set of numbers in a different range, one common and useful technique is "linear mapping". The term "mapping" refers to making conceptual connections between elements of one domain and elements of another, and "linear" mapping refers to using a mapping function that is a straight line––that is, such that numbers in one domain are mapped to an exactly equivalent position in the new domain. This is a very common and useful operation in media programming.

This patch allows you to try out various filter settings of the biquad~ object, via the filtergraph~ object. For adjusting the parameters you can drag on filtergraph~ with the mouse, or you can send values in its three rightmost inlets for frequency, gain, and Q. The spectroscope~ object tries to draw the spectrum of the signal.

This example shows several different ways you can display changing text in the user interface of your Max patch. For demonstration purposes, we’re storing the text we want to display in a message box, but in actual practice, if you had a whole collection of different messages you want to display at different times, you could keep them all in a coll object.
