No sound from Max standalone app
Hi,
Mac user here.
I've build a polyphonic synth using the poly~ object who can play alternative tuning scales using the scl scala reader object.
The patch work as expected in MaxMSP and in his Max4Live version I've build.
I try to make a standalone app of that synth and no sound is coming out. I then build a simple standalone app consisting only a cycle~ a number box, gain~ and ezdac objects and indeed it is working so I could assume that the problem is with my synth patch standalone build. Any idea what can it be?
you copied the poly~ subpatch into standalone ?
Place it next to mxf file.
Yes. the poly~ is indeed there. I've noticed that the folder consisting all the .scl files is not there. I'll try to add it and see if tthat is causing the issue
I placed the scl files folder inside the project folder and still no sound is coming
I am building it as a standalone app and not .mxf file (whats the difference?)
You don't know what mxf file is ?
I have no idea what scl files are.
You don't know what mxf file is ?
no..
I have no idea what scl files are.
I think it is a type of text file. is from that abstraction for MaxMSP who let you open and use the data from those files: https://github.com/snopeusz/scl_reader
mxf file is actually max patch with added components,
included when one builds standalone.
Usually all externals, pictures, sub patchers etc
get included into it.
But build process is not allways clever to create
same structure as when one works in max,
in first place search paths to files that one uses
in the patch.
That is a long topic.
I told you to place you poly~ subpatch next to mxf file,
because in that case it will be in search path.
I thought you have no sound simply because it can't be found.
Mac app is a bundle, you need to show package contets,
to see the structure inside.
On Windows it is a folder named same as Standalone exe.
One can usually count that whatever gets placed next to mxf file
or into support folder gets found by the patch.
That does not include subfolders.
