The FTM external SDK consist of an Xcode project and the sources of three example externals that demonstrate the most important features of the FTM external API.
- fff.coucou ... an external storing four different items (number, symbol, FTM object reference, atom) using messages and/or four dedicated inlets
- fff.pack ... a full FTM compatible pack
- fff.pingpong~ ... a non-sense DSP external toggeling an input signal between two outputs
Download
- FTM External SDK 2.6 Max 5 et 6 on Mac OS X
Older versions:
- FTM External SDK 2.5 for Max 5 on Mac OS X
- FTM External SDK 2.3 for Max 4.6 on Mac OS X
Instructions (version 2.6)
Max 5 SDK
The FTM external SDK depends of the Max 5 SDK available from Cycling '74.
The variable C74_SUPPORT_DIR in the Xcode build project has to be set to the folder of the Max 5 SDK (usually called "c74support").
By default, the project looks for the Max 5 SDK in /Applications/Max5/c74support.
FTM Library
An FTM external always has to be next to the FTM library external ftm.mxo. The directory "externals" in the SDK distribution contains a copy of the ftm.mxo and by default, the compiled example externals are copied into this directory and work right away.
Nevertheless, you should copy the compiled externals next to the other FTM externals of your current FTM distribution.
In addition, ftm.mxo contains the FTM header files needed to compile the externals.
Consider to setting the variable xxx of the Xcode build project to the externals directory of your current FTM & Co distribution. This way the compilation uses the header files of the FTM release you actually use and the compiled externals are directly copied next to the ftm.mxo library external and the other externals of this release.
