Bug. live.remote~ not outputting its inputs accurately. Reproducible. Example inside.

live.remote~ is not accurately outputting its inputs. The larger the number, the worse the difference.

The below patch clearly demonstrates this.

It really appears to be an issue with live.remote~ and not any of the other objects. You can see the signal is being printed accurately right before it hits live.remote~.

I spent a lot of time ruling out every possible setting.

It would be nice to get a confirmation before I raise a ticket.

A lot of people do not use such big numbers, but they matter a lot when doing bit packing.

Here is some more information I discovered after more testing.

It seems the maximum value that live.remote~ can handle is 16,777,216. That happens to be 2^24, which is the limit of a 32-bit integer's 24-bit mantissa. Therefore, I suspect maybe live.remote~ never got its code updated to 64-bit during the time when Max was updated to 64-bit. Might be a simple fix.

Ableton reproduced the behavior. They said they will investigate further and eventually file a bug report.
