mute~ ignoring loadmess

jeffburger's icon

I'm trying to automatically mute a bpatcher (a subpatcher in the attached example code) at startup. Sending loadmess 1 to a mute~ feeding a bpatcher/subpatcher seems ignored? Manually clicking the loadmess object after load does mute, however. Strange. I know various posts have recommended poly~ instead... but I'm just making sure I'm not overlooking something simple before doing a bunch or rewiring.

Thanks!

I've never used mute~, and I would recommend you not to. But have you tried putting a deferlow between loadmess and mute~?

Thanks. Andrea, deferlow doesn't help. Stephane, I hadn't seen that mute~ had been depricated as of Max 6. (I would have hoped that info would have been in the help or reference files.) I'll rewire using poly~.

Thanks again!
