rs.delos	External		GUI timeline object rs.delos, sort of a crossbreed of the pre-Max5 timeline object with a pianoroll style Midi editor, lets you put events in a timeline and send them out synchronized to a transport object. Each event acts as a container for: - pitch/velocity and duration information, - user definable parameters, - user definable breakpoint functions, - MSP buffer display, - any arbitrary message.
rtcmix~	External		encapsulates RTcmix, a digital synthesis, signal-processing and scripting/scheduling language Version 1.8 (Max5) of the [rtcmix~] object is available for free download: http://rtcmix.org/rtcmix~/ for Macintosh OS X (10.5/10.6). Windows 7 version coming soon! (maybe…) New features in this release include a number of new 'instruments', a dynamic envelope/control system to allow interactive modification of instrument controls (PFields in RTcmix-parlance), and nice tuning-system and numerical function packages by Joel Matthys. For those who don't know, [rtcmix~] encapsulates the "musicN"-style sound synthesis and signal processing language RTcmix within Max/MSP. RTcmix includes a robust scheduler and large set of pre-compiled synthesis and signal-processing instruments. It also comes with a functional-style ("C-like") programming interface for algorithmic compositional work as well as data storage and mathematical operations. Full source for the object and the language are also on-line. Both Macintosh OSX and Windows XP versions (older) are available. I hope you enjoy using it!

rtin	External		Output incoming MIDI real-time bytes Output received MIDI real time messages
rye	Patch		pluggo source code (tapout~ granular synthesis)
s2m.resFS1~	External		A parametrically well behaved two pole filter. Center frequency and damping can be changed without producing discontinuities in the filter output. s2m.resFS1~ implement a 2nd order digital resonator, using the method described by M. V. Mathews and J. O. Smith in their SMAC03 paper : "Methods for synthesizing very high Q parametrically well behaved two pole filters,". Center frequency and damping can be changed without discontinuities problems. See the help patch for details
s2m.wacom	External		Reports the location, pressure and other parameters of transducers on a Wacom Graphics Tablet. s2m.wacom is based upon the design of the wacom object, originally created by R. Dudas, then by J. M. Couturier. s2m.wacom only works with max 6.
sadam.base64	External		Base64 encoder & unencoder object. sadam.base64 will encode and unencode any message you send it (actually it takes into consideration only the first element of the message if the message has multiple elements). Since the base64 encoding contains only alphanumerical characters and a few symbols (which are: +, / and =), the encoded string can safely be used outside the native Max world (for example, with MXJ or in text files). Combined with sadam.lzo it can be used to safely transmit huge amount of data over network using for example the MXJ-based jit.net.send object, or for storing (originally) binary data in an external text file.
sadam.dom	Javaclass (mxj)		A Document Object Model (DOM) interface for Max. sadam.dom will create, read, store or even modify DOM trees. The DOM is one of the possible representations of the contents of an XML document (see http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/.) The object internally uses the default Java DOM parser that comes as an instance of javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory, bringing all the power and almost all of the functionality of a W3C-certified DOM parser to MaxMSP. The kind of Nodes currently not handled by sadam.dom are: Comment, Entity, EntityReference, Notation and ProcessingInstruction. When an XML is parsed, the object will assign a unique ID to each Element of the document, called the Element Index. This index won't get stored and changes each time when the order of Elements in the XML is modified (either by inserting or removing Elements). However, using the Element Index is the preferred (and in most cases, the only) way to address a given element in the XML. The Element Index is sent out the rightmost outlet each time an element is accessed. The Element Index of the Document Element is always 0, the rest of the Elements get their index in their 'order of appearence'. This means that even if an Element is being inserted or removed, the Index of the Elements that come earlier in the Document won't change. When querying Attributes, Text, or CDATA nodes, the requested data will be sent out the appropriate outlets in right-to-left order (in case of Attributes, if more than one Attribute is requested, they will be sent to the output as a sequence like AttributeName1-AttributeValue1-AttributeName2-AttributeValue2-...-AttributeNameN-AttributeValueN, alternating on the appropriate outlets) followed by an error code. When querying Elements, the result will be sent out as a sequence (from right to left) consisting of the Element Index, the Tree Depth of the Element (the Document Element is at level 0, its children are at level 1 etc.), the Element's Tag Name, the Attributes, and finally the Text Content (which is a concatenation of all Text and CDATA nodes). The leftmost outlet serves as an error outlet. After each command sent to the object, an error code is being sent back through this outlet at the end of the execution of the given command. A negative value means that the command could not be executed successfully, while 0 means success. In some cases (typically when one or more Elements are queried) the error outlet reports the number of Elements successfully returned. sadam.dom and sadam.sax are both W3C compliant XML parsers, however, this means some overhead in terms of resources. If you need a lightweight, fast XML parser and you can live with some limitations regarding W3C compliance, consider using sadam.rapidXML.
sadam.empty	External		Detect/output empty symbols. sadam.empty will detect and output empty symbols.
sadam.float	External		Detect/output special floating point values. sadam.float will store and output any given floating-point number. It will also detect NaN (not-a-number) and infinity (both positive and negative) values as well as output them if requested.
sadam.gcd	External		Compute the Greatest Common Divisor of two integers. sadam.gcd will compute the Greatest Common Divisor of two integers. The GCD of two positive integers is the largest positive integer that divides the numbers without a remainder. If an incoming number is negative, the object will take its absolute value. For the case when an incoming number was 0, GCD returns the absolute value of the other incoming number.
sadam.limits	External		Get minimum and maximum finite values of Max data types. sadam.limits will output the minimum and maximum finite values of the integer or the floating point Max data type. Note that for floating point numbers the minimum representable finite value is actually the smallest positive number that is not denormal.
sadam.lzo	External		Loseless data compression and decompression using the LZO library. sadam.lzo will compress and decompress loselessly any arbitrary message you send it. The behaviour (compressor/decompressor) is set by the first argument. The compressed result is a single message that may contain any ASCII value (except 0), so caution should be taken, specially if the result is used outside the native Max world (for example if you pass it to MXJ or you plan to store it in a file on the file system). For these cases you might find useful to encode the result with sadam.base64.
sadam.mutex	External		Mutual exclusion (semaphore) object. sadam.mutex will help you managing the access of shared resources in your patch using semaphores. A semaphore can be locked and released, and while locked, it will prevent messages from passing through. Each semaphore must have an unique name, and instances of sadam.mutex with the same name will access the same semaphore. Each mutex has two modes, they can be either locker or releaser instances to the same semaphore. A locker object will test for each incoming message whether the semaphore is locked and if not, it will lock the semaphore and pass the message to the appropriate outlet. Releaser objects will release the semaphore each time a message arrives to their inlet.
sadam.prime	External		Compute the closest prime numbers to a positive integer. sadam.prime will compute the closest prime numbers to the absolute value of any integer input. It also reports whether the absolute value of the input is a prime or not. Since the smallest prime number is 2, if the absolute value of the input is smaller than 2, the outlet reporting the closest smaller prime will give false results (it reports the absolute value of the input). The object uses an internal prime table to compute the primes which can be printed to the Max window.

Libraries
ag.graular.suite	debug: SELECT prenom, nom FROM auteurs RIGHT JOIN auteur_libraries USING (id_auteur) WHERE auteur_libraries.id_library='166'Adrian Gierakowski	The ag.granular.suite is a collection of Max/MSP patches for generalised granular sound processing and microsound composition written using FTM/Gabor libraries (developed at IRCAM) and encapsulated as Jamoma modules. Main features include: subsample accurate scheduling, multichannel output, granulation of multiple soundfiles at the same time (with interpolation of two sources per grain), parameter randomisation and sequencing, control via OSC, preset management, preset interpolation. Its modular architecture makes it possible to easily extend it with new algorithms for grain scheduling and parameter control.
AHRS Max Library	debug: SELECT prenom, nom FROM auteurs RIGHT JOIN auteur_libraries USING (id_auteur) WHERE auteur_libraries.id_library='168'Giuseppe Torre	The AHRS Library (Attitude Heading Reference System) is a set of Max externals that allows you to perform a series of basic calculations for 3D/4D vectorial math used in aerodynamics. If you are using a three axis accelerometer and a three-axis magnetometer check out the"ahrs_triad" object which enables you to find the orientation of your cluster of sensor with respect to the Earth fixed coordinates.
boids	debug: SELECT prenom, nom FROM auteurs RIGHT JOIN auteur_libraries USING (id_auteur) WHERE auteur_libraries.id_library='112' Jasch Sier Eric Singer Wesley Smith	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".
cv.jit	debug: SELECT prenom, nom FROM auteurs RIGHT JOIN auteur_libraries USING (id_auteur) WHERE auteur_libraries.id_library='19'Jean-Marc Pelletier	cv.jit is a collection of max/msp/jitter tools for computer vision applications. The goals of this project are to provide externals and abstractions to assist users in tasks such as image segmentation, shape and gesture recognition, motion tracking, etc. as well as to provide educational tools that outline the basics of computer vision techniques.
FuzzyLib	debug: SELECT prenom, nom FROM auteurs RIGHT JOIN auteur_libraries USING (id_auteur) WHERE auteur_libraries.id_library='139'Alain Bonardi Isis Truck	When manipulating human knowledge such as perception, feelings, appreciation, veracity of facts, etc., the classical logic that recognize only two truth degrees (true or false) is not always the most suitable. To solve this problem, more than two degrees are considered in the non-classical logics. The fuzzy logic is one of these logics. In this logic, facts are represented through membership functions: when the membership value is equal to 1 the fact is exactly true; when it is equal to 0 the fact is exactly false; in between there is an uncertainty about the veracity of the fact. These membership functions are called "fuzzy subsets". They can be of different shapes: gaussian, trapezoidal, triangular, etc. Thus the aim of the fuzzy logic is to propose a theoretical framework for the manipulation - representation and reasoning - of such facts. The Fuzzy Lib library implements all the tools that are necessary to handle this manipulation: representation of a fuzzy subset (among them are the fuzzification, defuzzification and partitioning), reasoning process (generalized modus ponens, fuzzy implications, t-norms, t-conorms, etc.). This version 1 of the Fuzzy Lib enables to implement fuzzification, uncertain reasoning and defuzzification for any number of data in the framework of Max/MSP environment.
imp.dmx	debug: SELECT prenom, nom FROM auteurs RIGHT JOIN auteur_libraries USING (id_auteur) WHERE auteur_libraries.id_library='157'David Butler	imp.dmx is a cross-platform collection of Max/MSP/Jitter abstractions for dealing with DMX data in various forms. It focuses around the use of jitter matrices to store data, which the objects then read and write to. The aim is to provide the bridge between your patch and whatever object or method you use to output DMX from Max. The abstractions use native Max objects only, excepting the Art-Net patches which use some custom java networking objects, included in the distribution package. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact me at david@theimpersonalstereo.com. Check for updates at http://www.theimpersonalstereo.com.
int.lib	debug: SELECT prenom, nom FROM auteurs RIGHT JOIN auteur_libraries USING (id_auteur) WHERE auteur_libraries.id_library='97'Oli Larkin	int.lib is a set of abstractions/javascripts that lets you interpolate between different presets by navigating a 2D graphical environment. It's similar in concept to the Audiomulch Metasurface, Color blobs and the Hipnoscope but implements a gravitational system, allowing you to represent presets with variable sized balls. As you move around the space, the size of the balls and their proximity to the mouse cursor affects the weight of each preset in the interpolated output.
Litter Power Starter Package	debug: SELECT prenom, nom FROM auteurs RIGHT JOIN auteur_libraries USING (id_auteur) WHERE auteur_libraries.id_library='53'Peter Castine	The Litter Power Starter Pack consists of about two dozen external objects, including a number of new MSP noise sources, a wide variety of random number distributions, time-domain mutation, and several very useful utilities.
MaxAlea	debug: SELECT prenom, nom FROM auteurs RIGHT JOIN auteur_libraries USING (id_auteur) WHERE auteur_libraries.id_library='96'Carl Faia	MaxAlea contains various objects for random distributions and functions. MaxAlea was begun as a Max port of an existing PatchWork Library created in 1991-2 by Mikhail Malt. While the distributions and functions found in MaxAlea are similar to those found in the Patchwork version ,there are many differences in their functioning. The environment of Patchwork is static and is not designed for real-time work. Part of the incentive for creating these objects to work with Max was to have a dynamic and real-time environment with which to experiment and work with these algorithms in a manner as simple and straightforward as possible. One can change variables and manipulate the output in many ways in real-time. There are several different versions of the various stochastic models/processes best presented in the now classic references by Denis Lorrain and Charles Dodge. Carl Faia has used a variety of sources for the creation of this library which include the Lorrain, Dodge and Malt implementations as well as sources found on the WorldWideWeb. The externals found in the package include several random distributions, examples of random walks and 1/f noise algorithms, as well as one or two utilities written specifically for the MaxAlea library. Carl Faia wanted to make a coherent collection (as he thought Malt had managed to do in PatchWork) of these various algorithms and provide an interface easily accessible using the Max environment for real-time control. All these algorithms have been created using a seeded version of the random function found in the standard AINSI library. That is, each time the function is first run there will always be a different set of random numbers (unlike the random funtions found in Max, PatchWork and other versions of random number generators).
Panaiotis Objects	debug: SELECT prenom, nom FROM auteurs RIGHT JOIN auteur_libraries USING (id_auteur) WHERE auteur_libraries.id_library='122' Panaiotis	The Mac version is UB. These Max objects have been enhanced since the documentation to the left was written. Help files for the objects provide information on enhancements. The matrix object has been substantially upgraded. It now combines features of unpack, spray, funnel, append, and prepend into one object. This makes a great object to place between controllers and jit objects because it acts like a multi-prepend. There are new configuration commands and enhancements to the old: even, odd, mod,and range, among others). Most commands can be applied to inlets of outlets. There is also a mute function that adds another layer of control. Matrixctrl support has been enhanced. See the help file for full details and examples. Most other objects now fully support floats. RCer and autocount will count in float values, not just integers. Notegen16 is a 16 channel version of its predecessor: notegen. It is more generalized and much more efficient.
PMPD	debug: SELECT prenom, nom FROM auteurs RIGHT JOIN auteur_libraries USING (id_auteur) WHERE auteur_libraries.id_library='81'Cyrille Henry	Physical Modelling. These objects provide real-time simulations, specially physical behaviors. pmpd can be used to create natural dynamic systems, like a bouncing ball, string movement, Brownian movement, chaos, fluid dynamics, sand, gravitation, and more. With pmpd physical dynamics can be modelled without knowing the global equation of the movement. Only the cause of the movement and the involved structure are needed for the simulation. pmpd provides the basic objects for this kind of simulation. Assembling them allows the creation of a very large variety of dynamic systems .
Toolkit	debug: SELECT prenom, nom FROM auteurs RIGHT JOIN auteur_libraries USING (id_auteur) WHERE auteur_libraries.id_library='46'Robin Davis	You can think of these tools as virtual instruments - record your jam sessions, and take out the good bits for use in your music.
