Hey great ... just got it 30 min. ago.
Am I dreaming ? It doesn't seem like there is any tutorial
yet including jit.phys.multiple and other new functions.
Stay tuned, we are working on some better documentation of all the new Jitter objects.
In the meantime, check out some of the examples in Max6/examples/jitter-examples/render/
Thanks,
-Ben
Jit.phys.ghost crashes max when I try to go into the help patch
-but does not crash if I just load it up into a patch??
I am using windows 7 64bit
I can confirm that the help file is crashing on Win. We will take a closer look. Sorry for the inconvenience!
-Ben
Out of curiosity, what is the memory limit now on Mac OS X ?
What was the issue with Kontakt? I remember that 6.0 crashed a couple of times when I tried to use a VST but didn't have time to explore it more closely?
I take it it was too late to fix the adc~/dac~ bug with multiple # arguments not producing corresponding ports?
Thanks for the new dict features. Previous lack of an append function was problematic.
@vade - memory limit on Mac is unchanged
@dhjdhjdhj Kontakt had a problem with output channels > 2
@dhjdhjdhj part 2 - yes, use single channel instances for now
-A
Interesting --- I was never using more than 2 channels which means that I was getting crashes with VSTs for some other reason.
I'm going to change my Max 5 system to use single channel instances and then I'll try those patchers again with Max 6.0.2
Thanks
@edsonedge and anyone on windows trying to use the jit.phys.ghost object.
my apologies for the help file crash issues, we will track them down asap.
in the meantime i've attached a screenshot of the help file, which should get you started with the object.
please pass along any questions or bugs to the forum.
thanks!
Apology accepted ( you had me at hello :)
Actually dhjdhjdhj
The problem probably isn't fixed for single channels either.You may need to use something like this
Ouch ---- I'm using a MOTU 828 + 8Pre --- that's 36 input ports and almost as many output ports. And even if I remapped, I'm personally using more than 9 inputs which is the max allowed args I believe.
If it won't work with even one argument, then it's really critical. I guess I'm stuck with Max 5 until this issue is resolved. Please let that be soon.
(Certain 4-letter words come to mind.....sigh)
@dhjdhjdhj there's nothing stopping you from implementing this exactly as you want in Max 6.
@Andrew I started to write a diatribe and then i reread the description about args for adc~ and realized that your suggestion was about using a LIST to set the actual ports. I have very little experience with the MSP side of Max, and I missed that completely when I looked at your patch. Thank you for pounding away on me until I saw the light.
Hi List,
it's really a nice, long list of bug fixes. Congratulations! I'm just wondering if the bug mentioned in this thread:
had been fixed, as promised, with 6.0.2? I couldn't find it in the bug fix list, at least not at first reading (I might have skipped it with the load of improvements :-) )
Thanks,
Ádám
jit.phys.ghosts=amazing!
I hope to have a holiday gift for the forums using this shortly :)
and, I might be reading this wrong/hopeful but.....
"standalone preferences now writing to custom folder
standalone: application-specific menu item names
standalone: fixed MaxLua.dll error
standalone: no longer putting preferences in ~/Library/Application Support"
Doesn't that make creating Mac App Store easy (easier) now?
I was thinking of this post:
https://cycling74.com/forums/max-apps-in-new-apple-mac-app-store&page=2
I just launched Max 6.0.2 and the fan started spinning after a minute or so.
I'm using Mac OS X 10.7.2, MacBook Air 13" (1.8GHz i7).
Activity Monitor said it was using more than 100% CPU, even if I did not open any patch.
The strange thing was that opening some patches lowered CPU usage to 6% (the patches contain some Open GL objects, but no [qmetro] was running), and some others raised it to over 200% (MSP patches with audio on).
I'm crashing like 1 in 4 times I open/close my patch. Brutal.
max 6.0.2 crashes when i open audio status patch.
mac book,
os 10.6.8
Thanks!
I have have a MOTU 828 mk2 for use in max. Sometimes the audio driver kind of crashes and audio won't really work. I am used to that and don't blame czcling here because i think its a motu thing.
Nevertheless just wanted you to know that this seems to have been my problem.
Max 5 would react with audio not working which is just right, max 6.0.2 reacted with slow startup and the reported crashes.
Cheers!
Thanks !!
I was having the same problem here and was hesitating to post about it…
Tried to reinstall max, even tried in max 5 with no luck.
All is working fine now. Great ! (Metric Halo interface, btw)
So, just to be clear, I replace ad_coreaudio.mxo with 3137.adcoreaudio.mxo (in Max6/Cycling '74/ad)?
I use the MOTU 828mk3 (I used to use mk2) and have never had any problems with Max5
Andrew, I'm curious as to which hardware there was a problem. I still haven't committed to Max6 due to some other issues I ran into (although I now have reasonable workarounds for most of them) but last time I tried 6.0.1 there was a problem with VST crashes and I'm wondering if that's related to this new problem.
@allyn - yeah, make sure you give it the same name - get rid of all the numbers.
@dhjdhjdhj the fix is for coreaudio, so it could be any hardware.
-A
So I'm definitely giving it the same name, but the Max window's giving me an error message:
ad_coreaudio.mxo: unable to load object bundle executable
2011-12-30 17:07:53.543 Max[7262:507] Cannot find executable for CFBundle 0x31d6870 (not loaded)
...any thoughts?
I've just noticed something special, maybe there's a link with the update. The mini-mixer window, at the bottom of the patch, is really small. I can't read all of what it contains.
also had the small mixer window issue.. can live with it in the meantime to be honest. And it just comes and goes sometimes. Don't know.
Mac Book,
10.6.8
ahh coonstant crashes when using reaktor 5 as a vst.
max crashes immidiately when i try to open a patcher including it.
Hi all and specifically folks at Cycling 74,
Firstly, this is my first post after lurking for years. I am hugely grateful for this forum and all the help I've had from simply reading it over the years. Thank you all! I am also hugely grateful for Max Msp itself!
Problem:
In Max 6.0.2 I cannot change the colour of individual patch chords. I can change the patch chord colour globally using the 'Object Defaults' in the 'Options' menu with success but nothing changes when trying to change any individual patch chord colour.
Methods tried:
1) click on patch chord menu arrow and select 'Color...' -- then change the colour.
Result = nothing changes.
2) select patch chord and right click anywhere on it, then select 'Color...' -- then change the colour.
Result = nothing changes.
3) select patch chord and click on 'Object' in the menu, then select 'Color...' -- then change the colour.
Result = nothing changes.
I'm not certain, but I think this has been the case since Max 6 beta was released (
Max 6.0.2
Windows XP (SP3)
I have seen this issue mentioned elsewhere on the forum but I thought I'd put it in this thread anyway as there hasn't been any response to the issue as yet (that I'm aware of).
Thanks for your help!
Joe
No problem with patch cord colors on Mac (Os 10.7.2, Max 6.0.2).
But I noticed that some comment boxes in patches made with earlier versions of Max have the same value for backgroud color and text color.
This is particularly annoying for libraries such as Peter Elseas Lobjects
or CNMAT-Everything...
I have same problem as Joe, i.e. cannot change the colour of patch cords in Max 6. OS = Windows 7

@ woyteg - here reaktor as vst works (latest max latest reaktor, mac OS X.6.8)

[midiselect @ch ] doesn't work…
Is it a bug ?
It seems midiselect @ch doesn't work with Max5.1.9 neither. Tested under X.6.8.
p
Ouf… Thanks !
hi guys,
opening poybuffer~.help makes 6.0.2 on win crash.
all the best
a.
I'm on windows 7.
- table is not loading its "save data with patcher" attribute state
- can not change the color of a patchcord
- when an object is clicked (dragging), the mousewheel doesn't scroll the patcher window (worked in max5)
Hi Guys
The patchcord colouring problem on Windows is known.
Reaktor5 is working fine for me - may we please have a patch? Send it in to support if you like.
I cannot reproduce a problem with table and saved data
I'll have a look at the dragging issue - could you be a little more specific? If you have a patch with steps which describes what you are seeing, please let's have a look
Cheers
-A
i create a table, enter some data, enable "save data with patcher", save patch.
next time i load the patch the table loads it's data but "save data with patcher"
is disabled again. so the next time i save the patch it will NOT save the table data (unless i enable the attribute again before saving) EDIT: it seems to work after testing again. I'm sorry if this was an error on my side, i'll have to try it in the specific patch where it was happening.
The dragging thing is quickly explained: if i'm clicking on an object to drag it (mouse button held down) in max5 it was possible to scroll the patcher with the mouse wheel at the same time. now the only way is to move the object above the window limits and wait for the automatic scrolling which is a pain in the ass.
please tell me if that is still not understandable.
regards, O.
And what about [midiselect @ch] issue ? Is it a known bug ?
Thanks in advance
I'm not sure I am seeing a bug - is this the sort of thing you mean? Seems to work ok for me on Mac so far.
-A
Thanks for your answer :)
First of all, your patch works fine (on Mac)
This one works :
But this one doesn't work :`
Thanks again for your help.
With midiselect you have to specify the data to be selected explicitly.
So your 2nd example does not filter for the CC data because you have not specified it.
Perhaps you want to look at using the dynamic selection messages?
Cheers
-A
Thank you very much :)
