Binary Conversion

There are quite a few ways to convert from decimal to binary or, as I should say, from base ten to base two and the reverse when using Max/MSP. I’ve written abstractions using native objects that provide this function and I’ve also written a javascript that does both conversions (and bases up to 36) in [...]

As I think of new things to add into the subpatch I find it a bit annoying having to shuffle the [bpatcher] view around so the new user interface objects fit in. Presentation mode [...]

Most of the time a simple search, copy and paste suffices but in some situations it would be better to have the ability to import other javascript files to get [...]

There’s a list of all the included files with a short description included in the zipped archive. As stated it [...]
