MAXMESSAGE will send a list of values out the right outlet of the rtcmix~ object. It can also be used in iRTcmix for iOS.
MAXMESSAGE works by setting a flag when the MAXMESSAGE note is scheduled. An internal function, check_vals(), determines if the flag has been set. If it has, it sends a list of the values set in the MAXMESSAGE note pfields out the right outlet of the Max/MSP rtcmix~ object.
MAXMESSAGE can also be used in iRTcmix. (the check_vals() function is called directly in the application developer code).
MAXMESSAGE is limited by the vector or buffer size, so it is not sample-accurate. Scheduling more then one MAXMESSAGE within a vector or buffer will only send out the values in the most-recently-scheduled MAXMESSAGE note.
very basic:
rtsetparams(44100, 1)
load("MAXMESSAGE") // note: the "load" is not necessary in rtcmix~/iRTcmix
// send a list of values immediately after receiving this score
MAXMESSAGE(0, 1.414, 7.8, 97)
