Features

• Sync iCube object internal data to the digitizer that's connected.
• Configure analog as well as digital (I2C) sensors.
• Output sensor data in physical units of measurement or as the raw data received from the digitizer.
• Mode-transparent processing of sensor data from digitizer in either host mode or standalone mode.
• Basic command set for configuring a digitizer in standalone mode.
• Compatible with all I-CubeX digitizers.
• Status and error reporting in Max window as well as via message outlet.
• Sensor data processing: inversion (increasing sensor stimulation results in decreasing output values), thresholds (the sensor values within the specified range are offset and scaled to a desired output range), zooming (set the sensitivity of an input to a specific voltage range), smoothing (reduce noise in the sensor values), noise gate (output values only if they are larger by a desired amount than the previous value).
• Sensor preset: make use of a standard set of presets to quickly configure an input.
• Sensor data routing: connect sensors to any desired outlet of iCube, or switch the routing instantaneously.
• Multiple iCube instantiation support: use multiple instantiations of the Max plugin to achieve maximum modularity of your patches.
• Multiple digitizer support (support for digitizer device IDs): use up to 126 digitizers in one Max patch.
• Auto configuration restore: automatic configuration re-load after a digitizer power cycle.
• Digitizer version support: digitizer firmware and hardware are checked by iCube and features are made available accordingly.
