 object, I'd like to work in my usual text editor. However, currently I'm being bombarded with diagnostics, because the LSP doesn't know about all the Max-specific global methods of course. I could turn off  the error checking, but it would be amazing to have it running normally! 

It's a wild shot, but would there be a way to let the editor know of Max's global methods, for development? Are they defined somewhere in a file that could be found? Or is it nested in the JS implementation?

I just built an stand-alone application from a patcher using Max 7.0.1 (in Yosemite 10.10.1).

I was surprised by the size of the app. The original patcher is 72 KB (it's just a wee little volume controller with some dither). The app comes out as 338.3 MB. That's 4811 times larger.

Am I doing something stupid? I assume that the problem is that Max is putting all objects into the app, despite the fact that I'm only using 3 of them...

Nope, you're not being stupid, that's just the entire runtime system that's included in what OSX calls a "Bundle". You can right click (or control left click) on your Max generated app and say "Show Package Contents". This will show you what's really inside your Max app. An OSX bundle (or package) is a mere directory of things. Some of these will never be referenced, so if you are very Sherlock Holmes'y, you can see what you can delete from the bundle without destroying your app. The unix instructions specific to your app can be found in [name of your app].app/Contents/MacOS/[name of your app]. This is really quite a small file. You can even start it directly from the Terminal, by the way. Isn't that more fun than one person should be allowed to have? Anyways, no problem with today's disk space. HTH.

Hi, very simple question here that I can't seem to find the answer for. I want to set up a series of bangs that send out individual numbers when triggered that add up with each other. I'm using the accum function and have a basic example attached. Wondering if there is a better way of doing this? Also, I ideally would only want the bang to be triggerable once, to prevent a number from being hit twice in a row. Thank you!

I got an issue when capturing UHD video via a Blackmagic PCIe card using the device

The captured image is fine when using @output_texture 0 but it is half the width with artifacts when using @output_texture 1. See the screenshot attached.

Is there a solution to get the full width resolution for @output_texture 1 ?

are working in terms of texture resolution.

By the way, DeckLink Quad HDMI Recorder [Native]/ @output_texture 1 is the only setting where I am able to achieve 60fps as mentioned here:

Update: It does happen with FHD input source even worse, see attached screenshots

I've made a device in M4L whose parameters I control with a Faderfox EC4. Mostly it works great. 

I am trying to set up an init button that would send starting values to the parameters in the patch and to the EC4. I am doing this to avoid parameter jumps when the controller and parameters have gotten out of sync (on startup, or if I've been editing some things in the patch). 

As of now, I am using udpsend to send data to a Max patch which sets the value to the EC4. It works but it's not very elegant. 

I feel like there is another way to do this that I am overlooking. What am I missing?

I have recently been attempting to build audio apps from Max 8 patches. In the past this has worked fairly painlessly and been very useful. Now it seems nearly impossible. The app opens, but will not pass audio, even if granted access to the microphone and thus system audio. The build operation will not pass *

~ or similar arithmetic operations, but only their verbal equivalents times~ and mc.times~.

Obviously much of this is because of Apple's decision to require "signing" of every application on recent operating systems, which means having to become a recognised developer and getting the app approved. I have come across a mention of a 

Cycling '74 License for Max-Generated Code for Export

, which seems to be mostly relevant to RBNO.

These seems to be very little documentation as to how to achieve a working app for private or free usage.

If I have custom Max externals that I've written in C, is it possible to use those in a Max For Live device? If so, is it possible to share that Max For Live device with someone else if the other person is on the same platform (e.g. x86) as I am?

I am having a lot of trouble with jit.grab + my Blackmagic ultra studio 4k mini after upgrading to MacOS sequoia.  First of all, I don't have the same input list- I used to have two options for my Blackmagic device, one said 'native' the other didn't.  The one that DIDN'T say native was the only one that worked.  Now that I've upgraded my OS thats gone.  Tried upgrading Blackmagic drivers etc too afterwards.  Now I'm stuck with the input that says 'native', and it's giving all sorts of weird effects.  I've been playing around a lot and haven't figured out all the formats etc, but my input should be 2160p 29.97.  Is there anything I can do to make the Blackmagic work again,  or somehow get that other input back?
