I have a patch that modifies a list of numbers and then feeds into a sequencer. There are a couple of parameters that have a tendency to cause the patch to output incorrect results. This occurs at points where the list gets broken down into smaller pieces and then reassembled. It happens most often with larger lists, like thousands of items, but it also happens with smaller lists too, just not as often so it's not as noticeable. I think there's probably too many calculations happening where the list gets reassembled and that's causing the mistakes? [speedlim] gets rid of the problem for the most part, but with large lists, it requires high values and it makes using the patch sluggish. Of course, I 

 limit the list to a more reasonable size, but I want to keep my options open. This is the part of patch that causes the most problems. It shuffles the list by n places, so for example if you shuffle by 2, instead of 1 2 3 4 5 you get 1 3 5 2 4.

Hi. Forgive my latent hostility. I'm not trying master Max. I'm trying to use it for something I'm developing. 

Joel taught us about IRCAM's work in 1985 on what became Max. I'm trying to test the use of wave shapes to modulate waveforms. Ambient waveforms. Is it true I now have to search the web for basic things l like, "Play this .wav file"? Is it true the stock package doesn't enable the use of .js in an app that's supposed to use .js.? 

I learn by "doing," not by studying. That's why I sucked at the undergrad level. Is it really nearly impossible to dive in and start experimenting in Max because the basic functions aren't included? 

OK, so I made it to Package Manager because, apparently, shell~ 1 isn't possible in the stock configuration? OK, so how do I use the Package Manager search function to find it? Do I start Googling? 

What am I missing, because this make a roomful of Moog inputs like downright intuitive. 

Apologies if this is off-topic. After a couple days of this, I'm incapable of logic.

My God. Since 1985 and it's not a complete package? 

Max starts very slow on Windows 10 and 11. I try different machines, decent hardware e.g. AMD 5700U, 16 GB RAM. fast NVMe SSD. Other software behaves generally as expected. Disabling the "Virus &Threat Protection" did not help. I see nothing special in the processes, no excessive load on CPU. It takes minimum 35 seconds to start. It is empty Max of course, no patches loaded. Plugins scanning preferences set to "minimal/fast". I do not know what else I could optimize. Anybody else with that problem?

PS. On my MB Air M1 with only 8 GB RAM it is almost instantly up and ready (<1 s).

I have several patches, meaning separate top patchers and their respective hierarchies, to control a synth. There’s one to control the arpeggiator, one to upload and download registers, a small one to control the master volume, etcetera. Half a dozen of them, all in all.

I’m looking for the one that controls them all, so I can save all their settings as a single file.

Pattrstorage seems the obvious way to go. 

But whatever I try, I cannot get pattrstorage to communicate with objects in another patch, although it can find them through a ‘locate’ message and the documentation suggests that it should be able to see pattrs in any open patch.

Attached a zip containing a folder “Pattr Conundrum” holding two patches, Nadine and Otto, to illustrate the issue, and a little utility that opens them both.

The question: Is this at all possible and, if so, how, or can pattrstorage only look downward and not sideways?

i am trying to run jitter in Max 8/ Max 9 on a Windows System:

File -> New From Template -> opengl_starter 

Patch Max crashes and closes after turning the qmetro on.

Max is also crashing after trying to load 

So could it be, that my System is to old to run Jitter in Max 8 and Max 9? 

And how can i avoid loading the Jitter Geometry Demo after starting Max 9?

 Sending large volumes of data from Max to [node.script] over time (even with no processing in Node) appears to cause unbounded growth in Max’s memory usage.

Hi, I've noticed some strange behavior with Node for Max. It seems that the more data is sent from Max to Node, the more memory gets allocated and this increase appears to be unbounded over time.

This becomes problematic in long-running contexts for example, using Node to relay DMX data to hardware continuously over a long period. The memory usage just keeps growing.

I’ve tried to isolate the issue with a patch that sends a bunch of data to a minimal Node script that does nothing except receive messages from Max.

const Max = require('max-api');

Max.addHandler('from_max_patch', (...data) => {
    // No processing, just receiving data
});

Is this behavior due to how Max handles data and memory under the hood, or is it a problem with the implementation of the Node for Max API?

Thanks in advance for any insight or suggestions!

TL;DR: Sending large volumes of data from Max to [node.script] over time (even with no processing in Node) appears to cause unbounded...

when i'm exporting my RNBO patch in C++ the class "rnbo-binarydata" is missing in the "Common" folder.

see my configuration for exporting below.

I'm generating dependecies (there is a buffer with an IR inside my RNBO patch) and this class is necesary because in line 2 of the "nbomatic_binary.cpp" file generated ther is this code "#include "RNBO_BinaryData.h".  So when compiliing an error is returned.

I am trying to write an jitter external for Max 9 with Max 8.2 SDK. I have the problem that Max does crash when i use my external in a patch and i do not really know why? 

So is there a way to debug the external?
