difference between live.object and live.remote

Hej everyone,

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

I always fail to set up live.remote to do anything.
I navigate to it exactly the same way I navigate to.live.object, which works fine.
Aren't both objects working the same way, beside that live.remote us operating at sample rate and live.object isn't?
I also tried the live.remote help patcher but it isn't working either.
Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks

If you control a parameter with live.remote~ it's disabled for live.object. So you have to decide how you want to control a parameter. Live.remote~ is said to be more heavy on cpu, but it has less latency. Next patcher controls master_track volume using live.remote~ and panning with live.object.

thanks, but it's still not working, unfortunately. Again, live.object works as it should while live.remote is just not doing anything. I have to check out tomorrow, if there are any newer versions of live or max. The patcher above is working in your live?

The patcher from xanadu works for me.
But live.remote seems to work in editor mode only if Preview in ON.
I'm not sure if that's normal behavior.

Broc's observation is correct. Preview must be on. If you open the maxhelp screen of live.remote~ you'll see the same construction, but there the parameter panning is swept from left to right every 5 seconds, using a cycle~ with a 'hot' connection to live.remote~. This too only works when preview is on.

Of course these devices are also working in non-edit mode.

it is working now. I figured out that I needed to save the patch first to make it work. That a bit nasty while programming, but at least it works. Thanks for you help!
