MIDI Kinetics Forum

I tried to get a couple of older templates to work with lemur on the ipad (like rg the MonoModulator from the user library). Most of them don't come with a *.maxpat file instead they have *pat files. When i load them into the max runtime i get a box where i can enter the connection details but also an error box telling me some things are not found. Are these templates supposed to work with the runtime only or do i need full Max for them? Monomodulato for example sends correct midi ccs from the macro controls on the first page but when i touch the red fader coollumns on the top of page 2 i get lots of packets dropped messages in the error box.

Also how can i resize the legacy tmeplates to ipad resolution?

Hi
Last things first - there is the Lemur Stretcher beta app for OSX that does a reasonable job depending on how the object sizes were defined.
It won't necessarily deal with object sizes defined programmatically, so some work has to be done be editing the relevant scripts.
Otherwise it is simply a matter of 'getting your hands dirty' doing it yourself in the editor..

Max patches used to just used .pat as there extension, .maxpat is fairly recent . . .
Reading the info provided with the template tells you it depends on some non-standard objects which you will need to add to Max.
Without these Max objects the patch will not function correctly -

Can see about repacking a version that works and post it to the Liine library sometime if needed . . .
