Lpast	External		A threshold detector with hysterisis. A threshold detector with hysterisis. There is a target and a reset point. The first number that is equal to or higher than the target will produce a bang. No further bangs will be produced until a number equal to or lower than the reset point has been received. If the target is lower than the reset point, all senses are reversed.
lua~	External		Lua~ is a Max/MSP external embedding an extension to the Lua programming language for computer music composition (the Vessel library), supporting sample accurate interleaving of synthesis and functional control. Lua~ is a Max/MSP external embedding the Vessel library for Lua, supporting dynamic yet deterministic interleaving of both signal processing and structural control with up to sample accuracy. For representation, it comprises an interpreted music programming language (a variation to the Lua programming language with extensions for event, control and synthesis articulation), while for rendering, it comprises a deterministic, dynamic, lazy scheduling algorithm for both concurrent control logic and signal processing graphs. A lua~ object embedded in a Max patch can load and interpret Lua scripts that make use of these extended capabilities in order to receive, transform and produce MSP signals and Max messages accordingly. Lua~ is particularly well suited to granular synthesis, algorithmic microsound and accurate timing needs, helpfully circumventing some of the limitations of the Max/MSP environment for such work by supporting highly dynamic signal processing graphs in parallel processes according to timing specifications below block rate. Using an interpreted scripting language within a graphical programming environment such as Max offers advantages of control flow, generality of data and structure, high precision and control, complexity of data and functional interdependency and variable scoping.
max.cpa~	External		max.cpa~ records signal data into an internal buffer when a bang is received, max.cpa~ sets the associated buffer~ objects contents to the last n milliseconds of signal data it has received.
max.float	External		outputs a formatted version of the float received
mean	External		Find the running mean / average of a stream of numbers Calculates the mean (average) of all the numbers it has received
meter~	External		Signal level meter meter~ is a simple signal level meter that can be attached to any signal whose level is between -1 and 1. Other signals should be scaled first. Each "LED" on the meter represents a change of 3dB from the previous step, by default. The red "over" LED comes on if the signal is greater than or equal to 1, and lasts for about a second. You can change the redrawing interval with the interval message. Resizing the meter gives its vertical or horizontal orientation, depending on whether its height is greater than its width or vice versa. meter~ outputs the peak signal value received every redrawing interval. Additional appearance settings, such as number of LEDs, and their colors can be set using the inspector (by chooseing "Get Info..." in the object menu).
midiin	External		Output incoming MIDI bytes, raw MIDI data Output received raw MIDI data
midiinfo	External		Set a pop-up menu with current names of MIDI devices When midiinfo receives a bang or int in its left inlet, it sends a series of messages which will set up a pop-up menu to a list of MIDI output devices. If you check "Evaluate Item Text" in the pop-up menu dialog, you can connect the right outlet of the menu to a MIDI output object to select MIDI devices by name. A number in midiinfo's right inlet creates a list of MIDI input devices.
Modal Change	External		The Modal Change object is a compositional algorithm to control modality. It outputs scale degrees and creates tables and lists that adhere to one of the 7 modes. created by V.J. Manzo The Modal Change object allows a user to specify a tonic and diatonic mode in its two inlets and get the pitch class value of each scale degree out its eight outlets. A user can send a pitch class number or a letter name message to its left inlet to set the tonic. A message box with a mode name such as major, minor, Phrygian, Lydian b7, can be sent to the right inlet to build up a scale from the given tonic. The object will output the scale degrees for any tonic within the modes of the major scale, the melodic minor scale, the harmonic minor scale, and the harmonic major scale (the major scale with flatted 6). Instead of using one of the mode names to build a scale, a user can also send a message with the number of whole steps and half steps desired to build their scale, and receive the scale degree pitch classes from its outlets. Double clicking the object will open a display that allows the user to see what mode they’re in and other information related to the mode including scale degree distances that make up the scale and the particular mode’s context within the larger pitch collection. The object can receive all of the organized pitch class data into a table or by using an internal table with the argument table1. The object can also receive the organized pitch class data into a coll list or by using an internal coll list with the argument scale. The coll list also has an added feature: it will take any incoming pitch and filter it to the nearest note from the selected scale. This allows you to set the tonic and mode, and filter all incoming pitch data so that whatever note is played, it will conform to the diatonic pitch collection you’ve selected. created by V.J.

Modal Mediant	External		The Modal Mediant object shows chromatic mediant (chromatic third) relationships for a given mode. created by V.J. Manzo The modal median object receives a tonic and mode name in its inlets and populates a list of modes in a chromatic median relationship with the initial mode. When one of these related modes is selected from the list, the object automatically repopulates the list with modes related to the new key. created by V.J. Manzo www.vjmanzo.com | www.vincemanzo.com
Modal Messiaen	External		The Modal Messiaen objects organize and calculate the pitches for Messiaen's modes of limited transposition. You create custom modes by sending the scale degree distance maps to the object. created by V.J. Manzo The Modal Messiaen objects operate similarly to the modal_change object, but output the pitch classes of Messiaen’s Modes of Limited Transposition. You can send it messages like C Whole Tone or E octatonic to receive the pitch classes of that mode. These objects are also useful for creating modes with 6, 8, 9, or 10 unique scale degrees as it also accepts scale degree distances. created by V.J. Manzo www.vjmanzo.com | www.vincemanzo.com
Modal Net Send & Receive	External		The Modal Net Send & Receive objects are optimized for using the Modal Change object over a network. created by V.J. Manzo The modal netsend and netreceive objects are simple abstractions designed to optimize sending modal_change messages over a network. It uses normal UDP network features for port and IP address specification. created by V.J. Manzo www.vjmanzo.com | www.vincemanzo.com
Modal Prog	External		The Modal_Prog object takes n chord functions and displays the triads of user inputted chord progressions. created by V.J. Manzo The modal prog object takes a list of chords (as in a progression) in its right inlet and outputs each of those chords one at a time to the modal triad object when a bang is sent to the left inlet. The object integrates with the modal_triad object and will interpret any message that modal triad does. By default, a new list of chords triggered when a list is currently being played will sound on the next bang received. With the optional argument '@immediate 0', a new list of chords triggered when a list is currently being played will sound as soon as each chord from the first list has been played. created by V.J. Manzo www.vjmanzo.com | www.vincemanzo.com
Modal ShiftList	External		The Modal_Shiftlist object is like the Modal_Shift object, but stores all related modes into a selectable menu created by V.J. Manzo The modal shiftlist object receives a tonic and mode name in its inlets and populates a list of all related modes sharing 6 of 7 notes. It takes the pitches of the scale and moves each scale degree up or down one at a time to see if a new diatonic mode can be formed. This process will list 42 related modes for any of the major scale modes, 28 related modes for any of the melodic minor scale modes, 21 related modes for any of the harmonic minor scale modes, and 21 related modes for any of the harmonic major scale modes. When one of these related modes is selected from the list, the object automatically repopulates the list with modes related to the new key. created by V.J. Manzo www.vjmanzo.com | www.vincemanzo.com
Modal Triad	External		The Modal_Triad object generates chords in root position or inversions. It takes traditional chord names, chord function numbers, Roman numerals, tonicizations, etc. It even takes altered chords like Ebdom7b9#11. created by V.J. Manzo The modal triad object allows a user to play tertian chords of any quality. It receives scale data from the modal_change object and, when a tonic and mode is selected, the object receives the numbers 1-8 in its leftmost inlet to output the notes of the chord function associated with that number. For example, in major keys, the numbers 1, 4 and 5 are always major chords, 2, 3, and 6 are minor, so, if C Major is selected, a 2 sent to the modal_triad object will yield the notes of a d minor chord. For each selected chord, the notes of that chord are sent to the object’s 7 outlets in the following order: root, third, fifth, seventh, ninth, eleventh, thirteenth. Alterations like flat ninth or sharp eleventh are inferred by the chord function as it relates to the selected tonic and mode. The second inlet of the object allows the chord tones, received as pitch classes, to be restricted to one octave. The object also takes Roman numeral functions to yield chords. The standard capital Roman numerals for major, lower case Roman numerals for minor are used. A lower case Roman numeral iv in the key of C Major will yield an F minor chord regardless of the fact that chord has non-diatonic chord tones in it, the Ab. A capital Roman numeral with a plus sign next to it will yield an augmented chord, and a lowercase Roman numeral with a zero next to it will yield a diminished chord. In the same manner, a user can use letter names to build chords. A capital C will yield a C Major chord while a lower case e will yield an e minor chord. A capital C plus will yield an augmented chord and a lower case d zero will yield a d diminished chord. (set to C Major) This object also receives messages for tonicizations. A user can send the message Roman numeral V/5, to yield the 5 of 5 (a D Major chord in the key of C Major). The V Chord Tonicizations produce a Dominant 7th chord for each scale degree in the selected mode. That is, the root, 3rd, 5th, and 7th will form a Dominant 7th Chord exactly one perfect 5th above a given scale degree. The 9th, 11th, and 13th pitches of the chord are inferred according to the selected mode and NOT the mode from which the tonicizing chord prevails. Similarly the object allows other types of tonicizations including leading tone tonications and minor four tonicizations. Augmented 6th chords and Neopolitan chords can also be implemented. It even takes altered chords like Ebdom7b9#11. created by V.J. Manzo www.vjmanzo.com | www.vincemanzo.com

Libraries
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".
