Thought I might post this little patch...lets you drop eight 'bouncing' 
lights in each column which trigger an oscillator when they hit the 
bottom...select the frequencies of each ball in the number boxes. Very 
much a work in progress, but something to play with I guess.

this patch is wonderful---- i really like it! very nice work.

Wow i love this Julian very nice indeed.

Wonderful

seems like i'm not able to get this running... do i need to have
something else running to make this work?

not completely familiar with the max environment but i can't seem to
figure it out...

any thoughts?

cheers,
greg

(btw, this is on osx... if it matters)

Hmmm...must admit I haven't tested it on OSX but it's very simple so I 
can't see there being many problems.

1) Have you got serial_40h/serialo running in the background? Is the 
correct serial port selected?

2) If so, hit 'clear', then open the 'main.mxb' patch rather than any 
others (patches such as 'osc1.mxb' and 'bounce1.mxb' are opened 
automatically). Turn audio on by pressing the speaker icon.

3) Now set the desired frequencies in each number box by highlighting 
with the mouse and dragging.

Then hit buttons and enjoy! Sorry if this is a little ramshackle...like 
I said, a work in progress. Will rewrite at some point.

Has this patch disappeared from the site? I wouldn't mind a play if 
someone could direct me to the file download.

yes, we've disabled file uploads, things were a bit buggy. i'll dig up 
the file and post it on the wiki.

unfortunately in the server move back months ago, when the db wasn't 
migrated on the forum, the attached files were eliminated.

the good news is that not many files were lost. the bad news is that 
bounce was one of them.

e-mail the author, i'm sure he'll post it on the wiki.

sorry about that, we should be pretty stable from now on out.

That's OK Brian, thanks for taking the time. I've contacted the
author (well I think I have via this forum) but unfortunately there
hasn't been a response as of yet.

Are there any forum users out there who could e-mail me the 'bounce'
app?

If someone can e-mail me the app, i'd be pleased to take care of getting 
it back up on the wiki.

I would love to use this app myself.  if anyone has it, please 
e-mail!!!!

Have sent you a copy. Hopefully you can reinstate in the wiki for us 
all.

Awesome. Thankyou.

I can't seem to get it to work at all. I'm using Runtime on an 
up-to-date Intel Mac with serialIO. I tried opening up the main.mxb 
patch, but pressing buttons on the 40h doesn't do anything.

this is a super old patch. try running it using _40h_serial.mxb instead 
of serialio.

the problem is that it wasn't upgraded to max/msp 4.6 conventions. i'll 
take a look if i get a second

Super old indeed, and really a bit rubbish...I'm amazed anyone still 
cares about this, and you'll probably be very disappointed once you 
actually get it working. I actually found the files for this again last 
night, so will get it working on 4.6 ASAP - although my unit is 
currently across the pond getting fixed by Brian and co, so I won't be 
able to practically test it...

A midi out option would be ideal.  this app is extremely limited as it 
is right now.  since it seems that a few people are trying to update 
this for 4.6, then possibly midi out could be added, similar to what was 
done with the Game of life Chuck app ?????????
