max/msp... extreme newbie Subject description: please dont laugh |
|
|
so i am very very new to max/msp and am making my way through the tutorials.
so heres my stupid question... exactly what does sig~ do?
ive read the description about how it converts and int to a signal, but i dont understand how this come in handy? ive been testing it by connecting a number directly to a cycle~ object and get the same results without a sig~ in between.
sorry to ask such a dumb question but this stuffs got me really confuuuused! |

first of all, thank you very much for taking the time to create that patch!
hmm... i think i understand this better now. the sig~ is used to display the the signal in int form in that msp number box.
does it affect the sound in any way? when i play the patch and then compare it to the sound it generates without sig~ it sounds exactly the same.
thanks again!
oh and another stupid question... how do you make your msp objects turn yellow? i must have missed that in the tutorial because mine never turn yellow. |

do you see that connections between control objects are black lines and between signals are dotted yellow ones _________________ homepage - blog - forum - youtube

yes, i the patch chords that come out of msp objects turn yellow and black, but for instance, in your picture, the sig~ has a yellow border and when i made it for myself, the sig~ was grey and black like a max object. |

What I make of sig~ is that it is a bridge between Max and MSP. It coverts Max numbers which happen only on demand (bang) to MSP signals which are continous like audio SIGnals. Hence the sig~ name. Oh yeah also just in case you don't know any patchs with the ~ symbol means they are msp patchs. Hope that helps. |
