So over the past few weeks, I've put together a searchable dropdown menu using a mix of [jsui] (which implements the menu, a custom scrollbar, more on that in a moment), a text editor, and some other JS to try to intercept clicks over the text editor in order to "open" the menu, and forward text edits to the JS to update the model of visible entries.

To be honest, it worked like a charm, and so I can revert to that working state if needed... but it was becoming a challenge to maintain it, and I've been trying to reduce the amount of my own stuff in this patch. I didn't realize until fairly recently that I could use  [bpatcher]'s vertical scrollbars and just nest a jsui within that thing. And this does indeed work

However, the first problem: actually clicking on the dropdown does not work. This is due to the hacky "focus / blur" machinery I added. Because I can't directly intercept or forward mouse events to my [texteditor] control, I use [mousestate] to figure out if I'm clicking over the editor or not, and using these to notify the dropdown jsui whether to open or not.

I was able to solve this by creating a second mousestate polling listener for the bpatcher, and removing the old "blur" notification to instead rely on the new one, which takes the entire dropdown's screen into consideration. This works pretty nicely, although it's a bummer to have a separate mouse state checker.

So the next problem, and this is one I have not solved yet: adjusting the scrollbar in response to onwheel events in [jsui]. Although the [Patcher] documentation (

https://docs.cycling74.com/apiref/js/patcher/#scrolloffset

https://docs.cycling74.com/apiref/js/patcher/#scrollorigin

) list these properties as being available, in 9.1.2, every effort I've made (`patcher.scrollorigin, patcher.scrolloffset, box.patcher, patcher.parentpatcher, parent.box.parentpatcher, patcher.getattr("scrolloffset"), etc etc`) have all come back as "undefined" or null in the case of getattr/box.getattr. So I'm at a bit of a loss of where these guys are, if they are still present in the runtime. Granted, I probably wasn't super exhaustive in looking for them, but I'm hoping someone else has encountered this.

The scrollbar in the menu does work when the mouse is over the scrollbar itself, but personally I prefer wheel scrolling and touchscrolling to work in both cases, and being able to use meta keys to trigger faster scrolling through large lists would be a nice too.

I'll be pretty excited to share this project, I'm expecting it to be pretty useful  for my own compositions. Just really want to nail the UX before putting it out there.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice.

Caveat: I’m not a studio engineer. Parameters and starting points are derived from real world data, but they are just starting points. I’ve tried to give you enough controls to shape the effect to your liking, along with some qualitative descriptors for depth (professional to walkman) and flutter rate (roughness to blur).

Flutter: Three cosines at starting rates of 7, 11, 17 hertz with weighted mixing; light phase drift; and moderate random amplitude modulation.

Wow: A fixed 0.1 hertz cosine with very slow random amplitude modulation.

Apologies for the below- I am looking to get to grips with MAX in '26 and made a start on a patch which would be immensely helpful for me: a Midi OR Combiner/Matrix Mixer/Router for Ableton Live, in which I could route incoming midi from n number of midi channels to n number of midi outs via the IAC bus. I've tried to use Chat GPT to help me along with this as a first test but it does not function and I just wondered whether anyone here might be able to help. I've attached below what I have (at the moment a 4x4 matrix). I don't know if this is due to Live's midi channel handling or similar, but I'd love to get something along these lines working. Any help appreciated! Thanks.

I just got the new Ultraleap device. The control panel is working with an M1 Mac / Monterey. Is somebody already working on a way to integrate it into Max?

Just started using Max a couple months ago.

I have multiple instances of the same M4L MIDI device in one Live Set. I want one shared snapshot bank (pattrstorage slots + optional slot names) that is identical across all instances.

 instance, then all instances should have the 

(But I’d still like recall to be per-instance — i.e., recalling Slot 1 in one instance shouldn’t force other instances to recall at the same time.)

So far my pattrstorage format is @parameter_enable 1 @savemode 0 @autorestore 0.

If I broadcast 'store', I get race/collision behavior (slots end up reflecting whichever instance “wins,” or values seem to get overwritten/substituted). I also tried store -> writeagain (local) and readagain (global), but I get spammed with save/open dialogs on load/close even with @savemode 0, to the point where it becomes unusable.

What’s the recommended/robust pattern for this in M4L?

Note: I am using Live 12.3.2 and Max 9.1.2 on a Mac (26.1 Tahoe). 

I have attached a minimal sample .amxd test I did with pattrstorage which contains these issues.

I am sure there is a route to solving this issue; I am just completely unsure as to how to get there. If anyone has any suggestions, or any workarounds & examples to fix this issue, that would be infinitely appreciated.

I recently downloaded a useful M4L device called 

It allows Live to jump forward/backwards a certain number of beats (from 1/4 to 8). The computer GUI is simple: 12 buttons you can trigger with a mouse click.

I'd love to trigger those buttons via the Push3 pads, with two rows (forward/backwards). I'd also like to remove the current info displayed on the Push3 screen (Arm/Trigger dropdown menu, with "live.text" label above each). Maybe I could use a knob to set a length and a Push3 button (or two!) to jump. But it's of less importance.

How should I proceed, please? I'm a total newbie with Max.
