The Max Application

kslider : clicking on the top right corner ('white' key) will cause MIDI pitch output a semitone higher than expected, as if there is a ghost 'black' key there. This causes a discontinuity in velocity output as well as the wrong pitch. Applies to Max v6 AND v5, both Windows and Mac. Has been ticketed (as of 22-11-2012).

dict : formatting a message beginning with "set {entry index}" and containing a dictionary name in it doesn't work using zl.group to combine the "set {entry index}" and the dictionary name coming from a dict.group object in one message, works if using [prepend set {entry index} ] and the dictionary name coming from a dict.group in the [prepend] inlet. (Max 6.0.8 - OSX 10.6.8)
