[BUG] problem loading Max4 patches with Max 5.1.8
Feb 25 2011 | 4:20 pm
I've recently downloaded the (beta?) 5.1.8 version of Max (from the Ableton link), and it has lots of problems loading old max4 patches (I have 16 years of max v 2-3-4 patches! didn't have time to translate them all...).
F.i. many cables are messed up and it doesn't seem to recognize the preset object: the attached simple m4 patch doesn't work in 5.1.8, but does fine in 5.1.7.
btw. is it safe to have two different versions of max5 on a computer?

- Feb 25 2011 | 6:02 pmHi Maurizio,This patch works fine here.It should be fine to have multiple versions of Max on your computer.I would recommend a clean install of Max 5.1.8. To clean out Max 5 entirely, remove these items:~/Library/Preferences/Max5 Preferences Folder /Applications/Max5Then download and reinstall the latest Max 5 release:Let us know if you are still having problems.-Ben

- Feb 26 2011 | 8:29 amOk, I reinstalled 5.1.8 and now it works (without removing the preferences)m
- Feb 26 2011 | 8:41 amMaurizio, could you give the link to this Max 5.1.8 beta ? Official version is still 5.1.7...
- Feb 26 2011 | 8:45 amYou'll find all the links in the Ableton forum, "Music and Audio Production" board
