I am trying to implement the HISS "hirt.convolver~" object into a new project and am having issues with loading an IR via the object's attribute.

Selecting and using the stereo WAV is fine if I use the popup UI. But this doesn't get saved with the patch and recalled correctly (hirt.convolve~" reverts to the inbuilt amplifier IR. Adding the attribute @file "Ir_name.wave" fails complaining that it can't find the file, despite the wav being in my projects search path media folder.

Hmm. Further testing using a HISS Multiconvolve and I am having issues also with setting the filename in the buffer attributes, though using the "replace" message this works fine.

Seems I have some issue with paths. I have checked the project search path settings and all looks ok. ?

I'm not super familiar with the newer versions of things, but I presume you're putting the correct extension in the @file attribute at that was a typo above? ("Ir_name.wav")

Yes, you're right that was an unfortunate typo. I have managed to get the object to load a file but specify the full path, but I need this to be embedded into a standalone, so that will obviously break later.

I have yet to master the handling of paths in Max.

PS: really like the work you've done over the years, and have been starting to get into the flucomo project.

So I presume you can just do "@file Ir_name.wav" and have it find it if it's in the path of the file/project. The quotes would only be necessary if you have spaces in your file name, so it's possible that putting them makes it think you are trying to put a path in?

Glad you dig the stuff! Yeah, some exciting stuff coming out with the FluCoMa tools. I'll be putting up a massive (14.5k) blog post at some point this week detail my use of the tools (among other things) for 

Load a new IR file by file name (if file present in your search path) or by file path/name (if file outside your search path). Must be a symbol, so use "quotes" if there are spaces

As an update, I have added the standalone object the root patcher of the project and checked its "usesearchpath" attribute. This now resolved the issue, for both standalone, but also a standard Project in Max.
