I noticed that if I mapped some controls with the new Max 8 midi mapping feature, they will be kept when I export the patch as a Standalone application (exe on Windows 10). But is there a way to use the mapping feature (change it) in the application?

There's an undocumented object called 'mappings' which you can use to enable midi and keyboard mapping or open a standalone Mappings window in your application.

It will be documented at some point, but might not get much better for a while... :-)

'midi 0/1'
'key 0/1'
'open'
'read <mappingsfile>'
'write >mappingsfile>'

does the key mapper work with modifier keys, e.g. opt-5 or ctrl-u?

Sure, although I see that we could improve the way those are displayed in the mappings window. Honestly, it's a little tricky -- if you map alt-5, are you mapping '[' on a German keyboard or alt-5 as a keystroke. There may be an argument for both.

thanks, i was able to get some working by trial and error but was not seeing some the results because of the display. also not all modifiers seem to work: e.g. opt-shift-2 appears as the euro € on a us kbd but opt-e is invisible. adding control or cmd seems to throw things off further. ideally one would see all the actual keys pressed in the [source] tab

mind the difference between mac and windows here.

That, of course, would never have occurred to us. Thanks!

Can the new midi mapping be used with exported Applications?
