   Im using max 4.5, so hopefully this is not an outdated problem

   What is the common approach to deal with list-operations for lists over 256 items
   Coll takes f.eks only 256 items. Same with message object and alot of other objects
   I found out that text-object can take more, but I have still problems when I want to do different kind of groupings (zl group 2) etc

   (The latest problem is working with the Interleave object which takes inputs from message boxes so again I have the same problem of the 256 limit)

   The 256 list element limit is gone in max5. Max4.6 has a few ways round it, but you're better off upgrading really. The mxj list package can deal with larger lists, and if you have jitter there are a few options too. Search the forums, there should be loads of old posts about this providing they haven't gone awol in the website upgrade.

   There are list objects as Java classes deep in Cycling74's folder:

   Open /MaxMSP 4.6/Cycling '74/java/help/listpackage.help

   I don't remember what's their size limit.

   if you download the berkeley cnmat objects collection (here : http://cnmat.berkeley.edu/downloads) , they have somewhere a nicely done patcher telling how to deal with those limits, with several solutions. Max 4 release still available, if i read well. But yes, the best way to deal with that would be an upgrading to max5...

   In max 4.x there were no real limitation on the list size, but most of the objects were limited to 256 items as you experienced. Besides the "mxj list.*" and jitter matrices objects you can also have a look to my ejies, there's some java classes which deal with long lists.

   another vote for CNMAT.
   FTM may be another solution.
