setclock External Control the clock speed of timing objects remotely
Create a named redefinition of the timing source used by various objects. The setclock object allows you to create one of several modes of timing that provide alternatives to the standard millisecond clock. Each setclock is associated with a name (its first argument), and this name may be passed as the argument to a "clock" message to numerous objects that use timing in Max, such as metro, line, and pipe.The subpatchers below demonstrate each of the four setclock modes. Double-click to see them.
sfplay~ External Soundfile playback
Soundfile playback. sfplay~ plays AIFF, SD II, NeXT/SUN(.au), WAVE, and Raw Data files of 1-8 tracks from disk. To play a file, you send sfplay~ the open message, then send it a 1 to start and a 0 to stop. open takes an argument to specify a filename in the search path. You can also create additional cues with the preload message. These can reference other files, all of which are simultaneously accessible. The open message sets the "current" file: the one that plays back from the beginning when 1 is sent and is used as the default for the preload message. sfplay~ can also connect to the cues defined in an sflist~ object. Since multiple sfplay~ objects can reference the same sflist~, this allows you to store a global list of cues. See the sflist~ help file for more details. (be sure to open the "new features" sub patch to find out about variable speed playback, looping, triggering cues with audio signals, and more)
sfrecord~ External Record signals to soundfiles on disk
sfrecord~ records audio files to disk. To record a file, you first send sfrecord~ an open message, then send it a 1 to start and a 0 to stop. open takes an argument to specify a filename in the default directory.
show Abstraction Displays a list in a message box.
smooth External smooth operates somewhat like a low pass filter on a stream of integer messages
solo Abstraction Sends a message to all the other solo objects, but not itself.
SpeakTest Javaclass (mxj) The SpeakTest class "reads" the text provided by the setText message.
In this example the java class SpeakTest provides control information for up to eight oscillators based on the test it is provided with.
speedlim External Limit the speed of messages passing through
Limit the speed with which messages can pass through. Speedlim takes one optional argument which is a speedlimiting time in milliseconds. The left inlet takes any message and outputs it according to the argument value. The right inlet takes int to change the speedlimiting time.
spigot~ External Route QT and SoundManager audio into MSP
The spigot~ object creates a sound output component whose output is routed into MSP. The jit.qt.movie object can be set to play it's audio through and instance of spigot~ using the message soc spigot-name. Multiple jit.qt.movie objects can use multiple spigot~ objects with differing names, or they may share a single spigot~ object, in which case their audio will be summed. Other applications which support manual selection of sound output components(e.g. Peak), may also be set to route their audio to the spigot~ object by selecting the appropriate component in the application's sound output menu. This requires that the spigot~ object exists prior to selecting it in another application.
sprintf External Build and format messages / lists of numbers and symbols / words
The sprintf object allows you to use the famous C-language "printf" function inside Max. You can combine symbols, organize lists of numbers, or format messages or menu items. Examples of sprintf are shown below, but for complete documentation, refer to a standard C library reference manual.
St.== Abstraction Comparison for any message type lists, symbols, numbers etc.
St.Copyright Abstraction St.Copyright will print a copyright message into the Max window.
stash External queueing and stacking object
queueing and stacking object. stash provides the ability to store and retrieve data in both LIFO and FIFO order. originally developed to provide a \"slowdown\" mechanism for max messages, but will work for many uses. Should work in pre-4 Max, but no guarantees! Check the .help file for all the syntax (it does enqueue/dequeue, push/pop, handles all message types and even *blink* clears!)
stripnote External Filter out note-offs messages
Filter out note-off messages, pass only note-on messages
substitute External Subsitute a symbol for another symbol in a message

Based on Simon Fraser's implementation of Craig Reynolds' Boids algorithm.
Boids is free for non-commercial use.

Boids is a bird flight and animal flock simulator. It is based on the same algorithm which was used in Jurassic Park for the herding dinosaurs.
Boids takes an integer argument which is the number of boids. Each time Boids receives a bang, it calculates and outputs the new positions of the boids. The output consists of thew coordiantes for each boid, the number and type depending on the mode.

The flight parameters can be changed with messages. Use the 'dump' message to output a list of the current parameter settings.

For more information about the Boids algorithm, see Craig Reynolds' Web site at "http://reality.sgi.com/employees/craig/boids.html".

Optimized Gates
debug: SELECT prenom, nom FROM auteurs RIGHT JOIN auteur_libraries USING (id_auteur) WHERE auteur_libraries.id_library='34'Stephen Kay 7 different optimized gates ("bgate" for bangs, "igate" for ints, "fgate" for floats, "sgate" for symbols, and "lgate" for lists. These do not need to do a message lookup, since they only deal with one data type. Also includes "andGate" and "orGate" by David Roach)
ri.rotatexyz MSP objects
debug: SELECT prenom, nom FROM auteurs RIGHT JOIN auteur_libraries USING (id_auteur) WHERE auteur_libraries.id_library='170'Ryo Ikeshiro Calculates 3D coordinates after rotation around the x, y and z axes by performing matrix (mathematical, not Jitter) multiplication at signal rate. Ideal for generating signal rate panning data for use with the rotatexyz message to jit.gl.render.

Currently only available for Mac OS X 10.5 or later (Intel). The following have only been tested on Max 5.
