Almost all of the 3rd party externals that I regularly use will not load under MaxMSP 8.6.2. They are all fine under 8.5.  I have tried on several computers (Intel and Silicon chips) and on Silicon chips I have the app set to open using Rosetta.

I am puzzled because the configuration on my computers is exactly the same in terms of system and MaxMSP settings and the externals are all in the same location. When I launch my patch under 8.5 everything is fine, when I launch my patch using 8.6.2 I get a ton of errors.

For example, the MaxSoundBox collection of objects from IRCAM

are  externals that I use in almost every one of my patches. They are all compiled for arm64. They all work fine on MaxMSP 8.5 and on MaxMSP 8.6.2  they all produce the error:

Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/MaxAPI.framework/Versions/A/MaxAPI

Referenced from: /Users/keith/Documents/Max 8/Library/MaxSoundBox/externals/yin~.mxo/Contents/MacOS/yin~

Any suggestions or even verifications from others that many 3rd party externals do not work on MaxMSP 8.6.2 would be helpful.

is it possible to grab the objects name (or an other object identifier) as argument when calling a js-function by messagebox?

Motivation: I have some number-objects and they shall call a js function by messagebox like in message box:

 <fnc-name>   <origin-obj/obj name??? E.g. $origin >   $1

So that I can connect several number-objects to one message box and in the js fnc I can identify the calling number-object. 

Otherwise I would need 1 messagebox per number-object to do it hardcoded, or?

There seems to be a bug in the vst~ (and mc.vst~) object. Inputs 5 and 6 do not work, and the output patch does not look correct. 

The plugin used in the screenshot (spatial mic converter) works perfectly in Nuendo.

The 'step' key command in the debugger is shift-command-T. 

I programmed my X-pedal with it, so that I can step the natural way, with my foot. 

It would be even more convenient if I could program the 'continue' and 'abort' commands in it too.

You'd think that, if "step" has a key command, so should the others.

However, I have not been able to find those.

one could edit maxinterface.json file, adding shortcuts to your debug steps


Ah cute! That opens up a whole new world of possibilities! Thanks!

Except - maxinterface.json apears not to exist on my system (OSX). There is only one mention of it in MaxAPI.pdf and it's rather cryptic. Futzing with the API is new territory to me. I did find debugWindow.maxprefs, should the code go there? It appears, by the way, that command-U triggers "continue", but "abort" remains elusive.

On macOS you can setup custom, app-specific keyboard shortcuts for menu items in System Preferences**.  Search for Keyboard Shortcuts to find the place, since things got a little shuffled in the latest major OS version.

Also not sure how setting things in this location will interface with the X-Pedal rig.

maxinterfce.json file is located inside of max application,
on mac Max.app/Contents/C74/Resources/interfaces,
on windows in same folder as Max.exe .. /resources/interfaces

that file is indentical for both platforms, but differs a bit in 
different max versions.

It can be edited using text editor, and what comes handy when adding shortcuts is that one can search if what one wants to add allready exists,

or one can remove shortcuts too.
to see the structure and edit more complex stuff, than just adding few shortcuts, one should use json file editor.



---
In addition, in first place for standalones one can edit max menus to what one wants, remove max console etc, etc.
It is not the same as to add max custom menu object.

there are 4 sections that deal with menu stuff
Mac and Windows, then runtime versions of both platforms,
some shortcuts are set specific, like 

-----
anyway, if you feel uncomfortable to edit the file yourself,
just post which max version you use, and what prefered shortcuts
you wish to set for that few functions.
shortcut "option+shift+X"   means on mac command+option+shift+X
on windows ctrl+shift+alt+X"





Thank you for your concise reply, Source Audio. Should have thought of looking inside the app. Now that I know where it is, I think I'll have some fun tweaking it. Clone first, of course.

as you can see from patch or pic, i am really trying to step through how gen~ processes one sample at a time. My mai questio here is, is switch tested/queried/outputs at any time a value arrives at any inlet or only when a value is received in the first inlet? What trobles me, is that according to my step thru, event one (e1) seems to send both a value from the recipt at inlet 1 and inlet 2, which would cause 2 values backed up at history, both which seem problematically within the same sample frame. I lost my train of thought, so please not that my event scheduling loses it some point.

I suppose the more general question is, how does gen handle events? when we say that gen handles processing 1 sample at a time, per sample frame, does it follow right to left order? does switch respond to any value in any slot?

I'm trying out some different options for reading audiodata from a buffer.

Right now i'm rolling with wave~. But is this also the best sounding object? 

I'm a little bit confused from all the options there are. I'm used to csound, where the opcodes have a more precise names but are more basic and you have to do more work.

What is you prefered interpolation mode for transposing sndfls?

How can I limit the range in which a COLL (txt) is read out integer data (e.g. only read out data between lines 100 and 255 in the txt List)?

And how can the speed of the data output be determined, i.e. how quickly the data is read?

Has anyone figured out if it is possible to add a custom style sheet to the browser interface of a Raspberry Pi running RNBO?

I'd like to make a few changes to be able to see more parameters at one glance without scrolling.

Currently I do it by manipulating the CSS styles inside the browser after loading the page. But that means re-doing it after every reload, so not really ideal even though it's just two classes I have do modify.

Here is an example of what I'd like to achieve:

the code for the browser interface is actually available on GitHub - https://github.com/Cycling74/rnbo-runner-panel 

If you need to customize it, want to tailor it to your needs or are just looking for an example on how to interact with the WebSocket endpoint that is exposed by the OSCQueryRunner from a browser context the repo is probably a good starting point.

There are probably some improvements and features we could add to the browser interface. Please feel free to contribute by creating issues or pull requests on GitHub if some of the things you have in mind might be valuable for a more general use-case.

Thanks

Thanks Florian,
I took a quick look. As I haven't worked with next.js yet it would take a little while to dive into the code. Currently I am in the middle of the production, so it'll be probably not before  the end of the year.
What I have in mind to add maybe a dropdown menu, that allows to select different layouts, 1 column, 2 columns 3 columns....

Probably an easy addition to someone familiar with code. I just added to the wrapper element of the parameters:

ParameterList__ParamWrapper-sc-jgotn6-0 {
   display: flex; 
   flex-flow: row wrap;
}


and to the parameter class: 

parameter {
   max-width: 30%;

I am coding in java script (Max 4 Live, Max 8 , Live 11) and it seems that global variables not only global within a script itself or the max device where the script is placed but also in the whole song for several js scripts.

Is this right? Are there any official notes regarding this? 

https://docs.cycling74.com/max8/tutorials/javascriptchapter01

Does it mean that all my functions and global variables must have unique names and it could be exist conflicts with other developers devices when using their devices?

Is there a way to make it only max device or script global?
