i am really frustrated of permanent max crashes when i'm having quite a lot of key-sel-triggering for different actions...

is there maybe some general approach or strategy to manage it?

Could you post a simple example patch that consistantly reproduces the problems you are having? Then we can see if there's anything you are doing which max might not like.

the first patch is actually really simple, but overloader from a lot of preloads and cue manipulations for an about 6 min long audio file...

anyway, there must be no such externals that it would not work for, so i'm attching it, without audio, of course...

I don't get a crash, buy your problem might be trying to do so many things from the same [loadbang]. Try storing all your cues in the [sflist~] object and embedding them in your patch so you don't need to reload it all manually at startup. You will also be able to remove all the "preload" messages in your patch. You might want to replace your [select] going to all the number messages with a [coll] which will tidy things up a bit too. Then as long as you don't try to create/overwrite any new preload points too quickly (there's an example using [speedlim] in the helpfile) you should be ok. If this doesn't solve the problem then I'm not sure what else to suggest. I hope it helps.

coud it be the max toolbox ? when it is not active, the crashes seem to dissapear...

anyway, i should look at sflist and coll possibilities, as you told...

That could be the cause of your problem as the max toolbox will probably respond to some of your key commands too. I'd recommend disabling it when you need to use your patch if it helps. The [coll] and [sflist~] stuff will help organise and tidy your patch up a bit anyway which should make it easier to follow and modify as you work.
