I've been writing a patch using some multichannel (mc.) objects and when trying to convert it into a Max for Live device M4L tells me it cannot find them. they work just fine in plain Max though.

I'm running Max 8 on Windows 10 x64 with Live 10.

hey guys,
I've been writing a patch using some multichannel (mc.) objects and when trying to convert it into a Max for Live device M4L tells

It should work as expected. Which version of Max are you using inside Live? If you are on 10.0 try to update to 10.1. to get a more recent version of Max. Even better probably, download/install Max separately and switch to the external version. The bundled versions are usually a bit behind the Cycling74 releases and to my experiences other the convenience of not installing 2 applications there is no difference to use the external version (e.g. in regard of performance).

how do I use the external version of Max inside Live? I mean if I'm trying to make a M4L patch I've got to use M4L right...?

In the Live preferences there is an option to set the Max App path
