hi I have a big patch, it takes about 14 secs to load. I had some real strange problems arise as the patch grew over time, took me ages to find the culprit.

I found that a few loadbangs were happening pretty much as soon as I double click on the .maxpat file and therefore loadbang doesn't happen once the patch is fully loaded, which is what i thought would happen. for example.

i thought , loadbang = bang once patch is loaded - loadbang. right?? lol .

I found this out by adding a (delay 17000) after a loadbang on the upper most patch so it was visible once the patch loaded, and I attached a button after a 17000 delay so I could see the loadbang exit the delay.

As i double clicked the .maxpat file from my hard drive, I started a count down clock on my mobile phone, after about 14 seconds the patch seemed fully loaded as the graphics popped up, then about 2-3 seconds after, the load bang finally made its way to the output of the 17000 delay.(17 secs)

So I wonder is there a way to get a bang once the patch is truly fully loaded? so that i can use that bang to set up certain presets and things? Would it be a case to have a bang at the lower most patcher and send that bang back up to the upper level and use that?

loadbang-timing

maybe you should use trigger and send bangs in order that results of time, that specific section need for loading?

Try the [Universal] object. Might do the trick?

Thanks napentro, I shall see your idea/patch later when I am on my other machine.

its funny, so many problems i had in the past with a newly loaded patch, was probably because of the loadbang lol.

thanks lume.  i shall check that out too.

lol, i saw this video a while ago but must have been looking out the window at a bird or rainbow. lol

yes that's a great way to re-fire all the loadbangs

i still wonder if there is a way to obtain a bang from max, when max has finally finished loading everything in the patch. I shall experiment and see if a bang in the lowest level patcher would be a good indication.

Yeah, I once had these jamoma patchers running and they slowed down the computers at uni. I just chucked on a [delay 5000] and hoped for the best.

lol.


i just found (active) seems to be a good choice for sending an initial bang

(active)>>(send loadbang bang)>>(universal 1)

seems to have fixed the issue i had . i placed this at the top left of the upper most patch. whether that helped not sure , but it worked o.k

i may whack a ( delay 1000) in there,to be triple sure.

cheers for your help lume and napentro : )
