Hello all. I think I may be driving too much out of Max and causing these annoying crashes. When I click on a buffer~ that is being referenced by a groove~ object and 2 play~ objects Max crashes

What I'm doing is using the Ms.pinky records to do scratch routines and record these to a buffer~. I'm then using groove~ to loop the section. The buffer is also being referenced by by the play~ object s in the phase vocoder patch from the tutorials on this site.

My CPU load is about 30% when I'm using everything and syncing some midi messages. Is this too high?

I don't want to publicly post the patch as its for my thesis and I'm a bit precious about it at the moment but I'll send it support if thats any good.

hard to say with out seeing an example, but from your description i 

would suspect that you are trying to write into and read out of the 

same buffer at the same time, which may not necessarily always cause a 

crash but i would suspect that is your problem. try using different

look at the crash report (or post it) and see if you can tell which object is doing the crashing. perhaps it's ms pinky. you've downloaded the latest externals for her right?

what exactly are you doing when it crashes.

Thanks for the replies. Yip I'm using the new Ms.Pinky externals. No problems with them until I added the loop/vocoder functions. 

I am using the same buffer to record into and read from at the same time but this has worked fine in previous experiments. I'll take a look at the crash report when I'm working on it again.

Being lazy and relaunching. Must try harder. I'll take a look in a few hours and post results.

Apologies I'm tired. I thought you meant what did I do after it crashed.Doh! 

Anyway, I was trying to view the contents of the buffer, double click and crash. All audio and midi was off.

just a simple feature request for max5...

zooming on mouse position seems more natural to me than on the center 

maybe it deserves a toggle to switch it on/off from the preferences

it's all in the title,
zooming on mouse position seems more natural to me than on the center  
of the page.
maybe it deserves a toggle to switch it on/off from the preferences  
for those who don't like the idea.
is it possible/not to complicated?

It only zooms to the center if nothing is selected. If you have an 

object selected it zooms to keep that in the window.
