Just hit a small hurdle in my first max patch
The problem is that the number box isn't refreshing when the switch changes. The number only seems to change when I'm moving a dial, not when opening and closing different inlets.
Is there a way to make the number object 'refresh' or for the dials to resend their output when bangs from the sel objects come in?
Or maybe I'm coming at this from the wrong angle?
It would be easier to help if you pasted your patch into a forum post. See:
Yeah I realise now, no problem anyway I've sorted it.
Changed the number objects to messages and now I can bang out the message in sync with the metro :-)
You shouldn't have to use a metro to bang a message to make simple numerical processes occur. With big patches this can become very inefficient.
If your using gswitch then this makes sense as it only routes data, it doesn't output a number when the switch changes. Theres probably a more efficient way to do this.
Try uploading a patch and see if someone can help you out :)
And don't crosspost to the reddit too - you're always going to end up wasting the time of one of the groups that way... :(
I actually thought my post here had failed to upload, note that there is no attachement.
I was stuck on 'waiting for cycling74.com' and then ended up receiving some replies by email to my surprise.
