I found a very particular issue/feature of Max that I would love to get some clearance on. Upon debugging a problem in a project down to its essentials I found this weird phenomenon:

When triggering a getcell message by pressing it with the mouse (either clicking on it directly or sending a bang from a button/somewhere else) everything is normal. Following the debugging the signal goes from getcell to jit.matrix to wherever you send it next.

However, if I get a notein object triggering a bang on a specific key press the signal triggers getcell, goes to jit.matrix, but the dumpout doesn't happen! What happens instead is the signal stops at jit.matrix and the dumput happens when all actions are completed. Follow the debugging signal to see what I'm talking about.

I'm very curious as to why that happens and any insight would be much appreciated. I'm attaching a screenshot of the exact patch I'm using so you can recreate it and see the bug in action. I apologise for not being able to paste the patch itself, currently waiting for my school to give me an authorization code to activate the full version.

try putting a deferlow object directly after your stripnote object.

the notein is receiving values on the high-priority thread and the dump output happens in the GUI thread, or something like that.

this is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much! I read through the reference on how that object works and it's definitely interesting - as far as I understand max operates on a low and high priority thread. Defer puts any signal at the front of the low priority thread while the deferlow object puts the signal at the back of the low priority thread - am I right in thinking so?

If so, is there also a way to put objects from the low priority thread on to the high priority thread?

Anyway, thanks again for your help, I got great insight into how max operates behind the scenes because of this.
