How? Is there a foolproof way since some of the settings in Max 9 are new? And what about file paths? Basically how to migrate everything and not miss anything?

Is it possible with Max or Max JS, to read the "Midi To" (port name) and the channel property of the External Instrument device?

If not, would it be possible to do this with a custom python Midi Remote Script? 

ClyphX Pro has some example Max devices that use JS objects that interact with a remote script (script being ClyphX Pro ) .

As I continue my journey into learning Max/MSP, RNBO and gen, I wonder if there are any plans to improve the documentation, because frankly... it isn't good :(

Some examples (mostly gen specific, but pretty much applicable everywhere)

What do the objects output? Is it 0-1, -1-1, something else? Who knows?

What does the FFTInfo object output? The documentation says it provides "very useful information".  But again, no documentation on the outputs. Great, what is it? From Graham's examples we know what output #2 provides (the FFT frame size) but that is about it. I 

 it is hop size and other fft constants, but I don't like to assume things.

Why are there so few hyperlinks? I'm looking at the EXPR object for gen and it says "See the GenExpr documentation for more details" Great. Let me click on that to see those details.

Don't get me wrong, I think Max/MSP is pretty amazing but after so many years and an acquisition by a big company, I'd like to think some resources could be dedicated to this.

I have an offset with datas received in ESP32

Below I want to control one strip of 256 leds.

Here I send 768 datas (RGB)  + 1 datas ( "the row"  where pixels will be controlled)

As we can see, I receive several time r,g ,b and after there is an offset with datas.

I tested to send less datas, but it doesn't change the bug.

When these bugs are fixed, I would like to send with row 0 the R,G,B data to leds 0 to 255 and with row 1 to leds 256 to 512. (when there are two lines at [jit.noise 3 char 256 2])

#include <WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiUdp.h>
#include "esp_wifi.h"
WiFiUDP Udp;
 const unsigned int localPort = 8009; // UDP Port
 IPAddress local_IP(192, 168, 0, 9);
 IPAddress gateway(10, 10, 10, 1);
 IPAddress subnet(255, 255, 0, 0);

#define LED_BUILTIN 16
#define BUILTIN_LED LED_BUILTIN
#include <FastLED.h>
#define NUM_LEDS 256
#define PIN_CONTROLLING_STRIP 23
CRGB leds[NUM_LEDS];
uint8_t buffer[769];

void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA); esp_wifi_set_ps(WIFI_PS_NONE); WiFi.config(local_IP, gateway, subnet);Udp.begin(localPort);
WiFi.begin("SFR-d078", "DEDW3VPARYGZ");// SSID & password
Serial.println("IP address: ");Serial.println(WiFi.localIP()); Serial.print("Local port: ");Serial.println(localPort);
FastLED.addLeds<NEOPIXEL, PIN_CONTROLLING_STRIP>(leds, NUM_LEDS); FastLED.setBrightness(180);
for (int i = 0; i <= NUM_LEDS; i++) {leds[i] = CRGB(0, 0, 0); // turn off all
FastLED.show();}
}

void loop() {Udp.parsePacket(); if(Udp.read(buffer, 769) > 0) {showit();Serial.println();}}

void showit(){int row = buffer[768]; Serial.print("row "); Serial.println(row);
for (int j = 0; j < 768; j++) {int pix = (j/3); // 768/3=256 led.
int r = (buffer[pix]); int g = (buffer[pix+1]); int b = (buffer[pix+2]);
 Serial.print ("r "); Serial.print (r); Serial.print ( " g "); Serial.print (g); Serial.print (" b "); Serial.print (b);}

I discovered this playing around with the modulo object, building a patch that makes a list of numbers that divide into another number without remainder. I happened to divide 107 by itself, which fed into [modulo 1.], and, instead of returning 0. as you would expect and as it does for (almost!) every other number, it returns 1. Weird. So I tried it the long way - divide and output a float, divide again and convert to int, subract int from float, get the remainder. But when I divide 107 by itself, with the div object set up to work with floats, instead of returning 1., it returns 0. Super weird. As I was building an example patch to share, I discovered there are other numbers that give the same results. Mostly primes, but not every prime and not exclusively primes. For example, 49 produces the behavior. As does any multiple of a number that produces the behavior. However, if I do the same calculations in gen, everything works as expected. I assume there's some floating point gremlins in there?

I have a box I build with 5 buttons and 2 potentiometers.

another 4 button 1 for each specific audio files and another 2 potentiometer to change the pitch of 2 of the 4 files. 

My system has 4 chapter the each chapter has is audio file that should play 1 time. each chapter has 4 different unique files that user can trigger them with the corresponding  buttons and two of the 4 the user can change their pitch using pots.

when user enter room he press the main button that start the audio file of  first chapter and loading the 4 audio files of that chapter. 

when the first chapter is finished it will automaticlly start the next audio file of chapter two and will load the 4 audio files of chapter two. same goes to chapter 3 and 4. 

the reset button will start the whole sequence from the beginning.

if there was not press on none of the user buttons the system automaticly will reset to first chapter on next main button press. 

I thought about using 1 sfplay object to load and play the main audio files of each chapters and another 2 sfplay for 2 of the 4 audio files of each chapter and another 2 groove objects for 2 of the 4 audio files of each chapter (the ones that can be effected with pots on pitch) 

Main AudioA start on BTNMAIN press, when finished Main AudioB start, when finished Main AudioC start, when finished - Main Audio D start, when finished - wait for next BTNMAIN press to start from beginning,

when Main AudioA is playing the usrfileA1, usrfileA2, usrfileA3, usrfileA4, are availible to play with. 

 usrfileA1, usrfileA2 are 1 shot trigger (play 1 time from start to end when press)

and pot 1 and pot 2 will effect the pitch of those files.

I've noticed a weird behaviour while trying to retrieve time in ms from a Live Session.

Whenever there are tempo automations/changes, the values coming out from live.object through the "

function differ from the right values in the info from Live.

Is there another way of getting playing position in ms? I want to be able to sync the session with an external video player.
