v.atan2	External		v.atan2 calculates the angle (in radians) of the vector represented by paired pixels from the two input streams (output as grays float32) v.atan2 calculates the angle (in radians) of the vector represented by paired pixels from the two input streams (output as grays float32) This is quite an accurate calculation and it not as fast as most simple math softVNS 2 processes.
v.bounds	External		v.bounds calculates the bounding rectangle of the non-black areas of the image. v.bounds calculates the bounding rectangle of the non-black areas of the image. It has some features to improve its performance where there might be bits of noise outside the area of maximum concentration. v.bounds finds the top- and bottom-most lines and left- and right-most columns such that noise_tolerance amount of the image mass is outside the defined bounds. In other words, if noise_tolerance is 0.1, then the starting value for the top will be the line in which the accumulated total of pixel values becomes larger than 0.1 times the total sum of all pixel values in the image. From this initial bounding rectangle, v.bounds works backwards, expanding to include consecutive lines or columns which have at least noise_threshold total pixel value. This tends t
v.crop	External		v.crop takes 4 arguments defining the left, top, right and bottom of a cropping rectangle. v.crop takes 4 arguments defining the left, top, right and bottom of a cropping rectangle. v.crop outputs a stream with the size of the crop rectangle, cropped to the rectangle. N.B. v.crop tags each video frame with the top and left of the crop rectangle. This allows v.composite to re-composite a fragmented stream without requiring extra position messages to each v.composite inlet. These (left, top) offsets persist in a stream until the stream is processed by something that makes the information irrelevant (i.e. a v.composite). There is an option to v.composite that turns this feature on and off.
v.dig	External		v.dig is the object that digitizes incoming video streams from external sources. v.dig is the object that digitizes incoming video streams from external sources. It has two modes: vdig mode and seq_grabber mode. seq_grabber mode uses standard QuickTime 'sequence grabber' calls to acquire video. This is the method used in most video editing programs, for example. The problem is that some (especially Formac ProTV) standard driver code has some problems that result in less than optimal softVNS 2 performance. This is the reason for vdig mode. In vdig mode, I use lower level (but usually still Quicktime Standard) calls to acquire video. This gives me more control over some useful aspects of the process. In most cases, vdig mode is better than seq_grabber mode. However, seq_grabber mode does perform better in some instances (XLR8 InterView) and theoretically offers broader compatibility. The preset menu in the v.dig configuration window offers some optimal presets for specific digitizers.
v.distance	External		v.distance calculates the distance represented by the vector represented by each pair of pixels fro the two input streams.
v.qteffects	External		v.qteffects is a simple wrapper for standard Quicktime effects v.qteffects is a simple wrapper for standard Quicktime effects It does not yet allow effect descriptions to be saved in the patch. To modify the effect settings, double-click on the v.qteffects object box or choose Get Info with the v.qteffects object selected. If you use Get Info, you are first offered the chance to choose the effect from a menu before setting effect parameters. If you double-click, you will not see the effect selection menu and will go straight to the effect parameters.
v.resize	External		v.resize crops and resizes streams. v.resize crops and resizes streams. Zoomed pixels are interpolated to remove jaggies and aliasing. You can set the output width and height, and the source rectangle. Alternatively to setting the output dimensions, you can specify the destination rectangle, which resizes the stream to the rectangles width and height and attaches the top, left coordinates to the stream which can be used by v.composite objects downstream.
v.screen	External		v.screen displays an incoming video stream in a rectangle in the patcher window. v.screen displays an incoming video stream in a rectangle in the patcher window. The screen rectangle can be resized. The incoming stream is rescaled to the full rectangle. Except for ati mode and gl modes, all display modes are done in deferred mode, meaning that they are lower priority than most processing (except if over-drive is off). Usually this is okay, but there are times when you want to prioritize display. ati mode (where available) and gl mode allow the display to operate on the same priority level as the rest of the processing.
v.slur	External		v.slur can reduce video noise in some circumstances. v.slur can reduce video noise in some circumstances. This can be useful for colour tracking, for example, where noise can be a serious issue. You lose a little immediacy in response because of the averaging over the two frames.
v.tan	External		v.tan calculates the tangent of the brightness of each pixel in the image v.tan calculates the tangent of the brightness of each pixel in the image (output as grays float32) This is quite an accurate calculation and it not as fast as most simple math softVNS 2 processes.
v.track	External		v.track follows a specified small object across the video field with sub-pixel accuracy and no delay. v.track follows a specified small object across the video field with sub-pixel accuracy and no delay. Objects are tracked best against a contrasting solid background, and will be lost if they travel faster than 8 pixels per frame. You can also tell v.track to track an unmoving part of the screen, and move the camera (instant steadicam) (Again, if the camera moves such that the image moves more than 8 pixel per frame, you will lose tracking.) If you supply a profile stream (i.e. from v.silhouette’s second outlet), v.track uses the silhouette to define a mask that will cause areas showing no silhouette presence to be ignored in the tracking process, which improves tracking across complicated backgrounds. v.track is best understood by looking at the v.track examples, because it works best when supplied with properly pre-processed streams.
v.zoom	External		v.zoom is a clean digital zoom. v.zoom is a clean digital zoom. Zoomed pixels are interpolated to remove jaggies and aliasing. The zoom and pan can be almost infinitely gradual. You can set v.zoom to do a “framed” zoom from full frame to any part of the image (in this case the horizontal and vertical center have no effect when zoom level = 1.0, and are fully in effect when zoom level is equal to the target scale. You can also automate zooms to advance towards a zoom level by a fraction every video frame. You can also define a zoom by defining a source rectangle. In addition, the size of the output stream can be different than the size of the input stream. v.zoom does not zoom out nicely beyond a scale of 2.0. If you need to zoom farther out than this, you need to use the more powerful but less efficient v.rotat
v2_max.sick.lms100	External		Light detection and ranging (LIDAR) instruments provide a fast and accurate way to track objects in 2 dimensions. V2_Lab's v2_max.sick.lms100 object for Max5 makes the SICK's Laser Measurement System LIDAR available inside Max. A laser rangefinder is a device which uses a laser beam to determine the distance to a reflective object. SICK's Laser Measurement System (LMS) range of devices combines infrared laser rangefinder with a mechanically moving mirror and special optics to implement a LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) – an optical remote sensing instrument that measures properties of scattered light to find range and/or other information of a distant target. V2_Lab has developed a Max5 external object that provides a simple interface to the Laser Measurement System from Max5 programming environment. The object allows configuring operating mode of the device and passes in scan data as lists of numbers. To inspire the users the example patch demonstrates simple background / foreground segmentation and blob detection. At the moment the object supports a single model of SICK's LIDARs – LMS100, but we hope to add support for other models with time. (In fact, it probably supports the outdoor counterpart of the LMS100 – LMS111, although we haven't tested it)
Vdistance	External		Vdistance calculates the length of its input list, considered as an n-dimensional vector.
VeloDecoder	Abstraction		Velocoder encodes eighth-tone deviation in the velocity part. Use to prepare Finale non-standard files.

EAMIR - the Electro-acoustic Musically Interactive Room	debug: SELECT prenom, nom FROM auteurs RIGHT JOIN auteur_libraries USING (id_auteur) WHERE auteur_libraries.id_library='133'V.j. Manzo	The EAMIR project is an open-source effort to enable educators with technology for music education. Software is designed around a common configuration which can be easily implemented by music educators around the world by downloading source code and standalone applications through eamir.org. Users who understand programming can edit the source code and post their new source and standalone applications back to the site for the EAMIR community to use. Much of the EAMIR software is also designed to allow students with physical and mental disabilities to create meaningful music using interfaces that are accessible to their needs. The EAMIR SDK allows users to easily create their own EAMIR-like applications by connecting preassembled interface modules to musical modules. The interfaces include cameras with color tracking, guitar hero controllers, wii remotes and devices, dance dance revolution pads, and other gaming controllers as well as traditional MIDI instruments like keyboards. created by V.J.

loadbang.net SQL	debug: SELECT prenom, nom FROM auteurs RIGHT JOIN auteur_libraries USING (id_auteur) WHERE auteur_libraries.id_library='99'Nick Rothwell	A Java library for communicating with SQL databases from MXJ. We currently support MySQL and HSQLDB. The HSQLDB system includes an embedded database instance, so it runs automatically from text files in Max\'s search path; no external database server configuration is necessary.
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.
PeRColate	debug: SELECT prenom, nom FROM auteurs RIGHT JOIN auteur_libraries USING (id_auteur) WHERE auteur_libraries.id_library='5'Dan Trueman	PeRColate is an open-source distribution of a variety of synthesis and signal processing algorithms for Max, MSP, and Nato. It is centered around a (partial) port of the Synthesis Toolkit (STK) by Perry Cook (Princeton) and Gary Scavone (Stanford CCRMA). Like the STK, it provides a fairly easy to use library of synthesis and signal processing functions (in C) that can be wired together to create conventional and unusual instruments. Also like the STK, it includes a variety of precompiled synthesis objects, including physical modeling, modal, and PhISM class instruments; the code for these instruments can serve as foundations for creating new instruments (one example, the blotar, is included) and can be used to teach elementary and advanced synthesis techniques. Given it's STK heritage and educational function, PeRColate is largely un-optimized, though all the objects run on a 80MHz 7100, which is pretty good. PeRColate also includes a number of objects not from the STK; some are from RTcmix and others are our own evil creations, designed to crash your computer, but only after making some kind of interesting sound or image.

suivi	debug: SELECT prenom, nom FROM auteurs RIGHT JOIN auteur_libraries USING (id_auteur) WHERE auteur_libraries.id_library='88' Ircam	Two externals performing score following on soloist performances using Hidden Markov Models (HMM) Suivi is based on FTM and requires the shared library FTMlib for Max/MSP. Both externals use an FTM track object - a sequence of time-tagged FTM values - to store the score of the soloist performance to be followed. Notes, trills and other elements of the score are represented by FTM score objects (FTM scoob class). For the moment, scores can be imported from standard MIDI files only. An editor for the FTM track class, which will also provide a graphical control interface for the score follower is under development as well as the import of MusicXML files. The suivi object set is distributed within the IRCAM Forum.
