The sidebar integrated into the patcher is such an awesome feature.

Will there be builds for ppc machines at all?

Also, it seems that the new [dict] structure has gone unheralded, yet has single-handedly changed my life!

Quick question… I just opened a Max5 patcher that contains a poly~ that has a vs attribute of 1 to do some tapin~ & tapout~ stuff. It hitting a whole new CPU high with the 64 bit processing. Are there any recommendations regarding how to make the switch? I guess I’m asking if I just have to port my existing patch to gen~ to be efficient in Max6?

If there are particular patchers that you can provide us to clearly demonstrate performance differences between Max 5 and Max 6 we’d love to take a look at them.

You can send them to us with the beta form @ http://cycling74.com/max6betabug_form/ or email them in to support@cycling74.com .

However, both the 1-sample feedback scenario and really awesome performance are areas where gen~ really shines bright!

Cheers,
Tim

Bye Bye 10.4.11 !?

“OK– looks like it’s time to upgrade …”

No money for that : ciao “road of the progress” ;-)

the number~ object seems to be 64-bit, its outputs read “double” — is there a non-audio object for double-precision floats? in the documentation I still see “float” input but not “double”.

Changing MSP to support this was much simpler to change than to do this for arbitrary atom lists and all the third party objects which rely on this.

But if I have to be critical, I have to admit I’m still messed up with the new object palette.
Previous palette was more efficient to me.
The palette is now bigger, and dragging objects to the patch is not really user friendly to me…
It is all the more the case since the patch is big. double clicking at the exact place I wanted my object to be inserted was perfect. But I may be the only one to feel it this way?

Is there a way to go back to the old palette?

(It’s for a pattern step counter whose length can be adjusted on the fly… I usually use a homebrew external counter for this.)

Turn on the audio and then take a look at the two capture~ objects. You should see the first sample for the input trigger is a “1″ and in the other capture~ you will see that the output is stepped-up immediately.

best,
Tim

I very much agree about the object explorer. It’s an inefficient use of space to have it on screen all the time, and I also have to scroll the view to get access to objects that in the old object palette were visible immediately.
