Hi there!
The new Modalys beta version 3.6.0.b12 is available from the modalys beta project page .
Highlights for this release are:
- compatibility with macOS Big Sur (including on newest ARM machines…)
- matured mlys.lua Max object. Check out the attached “lua_test_all” patch to see where we are at.
- fixed violin bridge object
Best,

cumulative notes for Modalys 3.6 beta
3.6.0.b8…b12:
- compatibility with macOS 10.15 Catalina and macOS 11 (Big Sur), including when running under “rosetta2” emulation on a new ARM mac machine.
- fully notarized installer
- recompiled, correctly codesigned Modalisp and Medit
- updated Matlab objects (64bit)
- fixed violin bridge object (long-standing issue…)
- mlys.lua :
- return value from (update() function) did nothing!
- the dimension parameter of a mlys.lua object is now automatic if “-1” is set (which is by default for new objects).
- mlys.get_info can now return strings (and, of course, numbers)
- moved from luajit to moonjit lib
- new function modalys.view_mesh(–mesh ref–): to invoke Medit
- new object modalys.inlet_observer to monitor inlet updates. With “modalys.inlet_observer.callback = my_callback” you shall assign a callback of your own receiving 2 parameters: inlet# and current float value.
3.6.0.b7:
Modalys for Max
- mlys.lua:
- “mlys” alias namespace created. So instead of “modalys.freq_to_midi”, you may write the more compliant “mlys.freq_to_midi”
- aliases added to functions, to match legacy namings: modalys <-> mlys, make_object <-> create_object,
make_connection <-> create_connection, make_mesh <-> create_mesh, make_point_output <-> create_point_output, extend_mesh <-> create_mesh
3.6.0.b6:
Modalys for Max
- a long-standing request: modifying an attribute in mlys.expression (and now mlys.lua) doesn’t erase the script content anymore!
- mlys.lua:
- improved stability.
- modalys.release now accepts any series of item references. For instance modalys.release(mystring,mymesh,ctrl1)
- new function modalys.compute_modes(–object reference–)
- new function get_pitched_finite_element_object(–parameters–). Parameters are: “mesh”, “name”, “block” (a mesh that describes the fixed nodes), “midinote” or “frequency”, “modes” (amount), “thickness” (for 2D mesh), “density”, “young”, “poisson”, “constloss”, “freqloss”.
- new function modalys.freeze_object(–object reference–) For now, it is only for actual objects (strings, tubes etc.) but the plan is to extend it to access and controllers.
- new function modalys.get_mesh(–object reference–) to get the mesh reference of a given 3D-based object.
- new objects implemented in create_object (more to come…)
- new connections implemented in create_connection (more to come…)
3.6.0.b4:
Modalys for Max
- mlys.lua
- new function modalys.midi_to_freq(–midi note–)
- new function modalys.freq_to_midi(–freq–)
- new function normalised_random()
- new function modalys.create_access(–parameters–). Parameters are: “kind” (normal, trans0 etc.), “where” (object ref), “name”, “location”/“position” (can 1- or 2-dimensional, or a node etc.)
- new function modalys.create_point_output(–parameters–)
- new function modalys.create_object(–parameters–)
- new function modalys.create_connection(–parameters–)
- new function modalys.create_mesh(–parameters–)
- new function modalys.extend_mesh(–parameters–)
- new function modalys.transform_mesh(–parameters–)
- new function modalys.save_mesh(–parameters–). Parameters are: “mesh”, and “path” (can be relative).
- new function modalys.create_connection(–parameters–)
