I created a step sequencer in RNBO using an Akai Fire midi controller as input device. The RNBO patch sends out the sequenced notes along with some sysex to control the LEDs of the midi controller. When I send the sysex out of max just from the bare RNBO patch, everything works great. But when I export it as a VST and load it in Reaper I can't get any sysex from the plugin.

I then dug some deeper and read in the Juice forum that sending sysex from a VST3 is broken. (in 

). They are saying that the “begin SysEx” byte (xF0) and the “end SysEx” byte (xF7) are not sent out. It is also said (as far as I understand) that sending those bytes twice might help. So I played around with that option and made a little tester patch to send sysex messages in different ways and also sending bytes one by one manually (attached patch).

The only thing I can get from the plugin this way is a sysex message that consists only of the F0 byte. Which led me to 

 reporting that sysex strings from RNBO patches on a raspberry pi can't be longer than three bytes. Not sure if it's the same issue, but looks a bit similar.

Also seems that when using the [sysexout] object even that single byte message isn't sent (in the Plugin, from the Max patch again it works).

I'm a bit at my wit's end. hope somebody can give me the right hint to solve this. Thanks!

Hi all, long time no Maxing, it's nice to be back!

I'm trying to make a virtual arcade machine for an art project and have been experimenting with jit.phys.multiple and its friends for the past month or so, and have worked out most of what i need, despite not having played with jit.phys before

However, i'm finding not all of my objects (coins) are properly "solid" and some of them (about 1 in 60ish?) go straight through other objects. And in fact some objects start "not solid" but then become so on their way down.

I have made a simplified patch, although it's not really very simple - i think it's a bug.

Oh, and sorry, this is in Max 8.6.5, i can't afford version 9 until this project gets going (and funded 🤞), so maybe it's been fixed there already...

 i want to build some video/interaktive installations in max/msp/jitter. Therefore I would need some Windows machines for presentation of these installations. I would try to get some cheap Laptops because my budget is limited.. But I want to make sure, that my patches are running for sure. 

In general minimum System Requirements of Max 9 are

Which additional requirement  do i have for running Jitter in my Patches?

particle Systems, cv.jit objects, pose for interactive systems and OpenGL.. 

How do i determine the minimum of System requirements in jitter? For example wich kind of Graphics Card do I need at least? Are there inbuild graphic processors in cheap Laptops strong enough?

I have this test patch and trying to have a multichannel patch as it's entire thing used in a poly environment meaning e.g. thereby using 10 channels in the mc environment in let's say 10 different poly voices/instances.

I'm running into issues with voice allocations, specifically that my upon sending another midi note, the entire envelope retriggers from the start. How do I remove that? 

I see that the "thispoly" object seems to play a role here. I cannot grasp it's proper use as of now, even though I read through the help patches.

I've been building a poly synth that supposed to incorprate both substractive synthesis and granular synthesis. Essentialy the idea is to have two synths running in parallel and then add them together to get a combination of both. The granular "voice" is based on Oliver Thurleys granular tutorial, but I've really been struggling to make it truly polyphonic, as the poly object he uses generates the actual cloud of the grains, rather than doing what it's "supposed to" by allowing the playing of chords. If anyone has any ideas on how to solve this please let me know!

The Rpi 4B I am using does not show in the target export window. I manually added the address of the pi, but it still shows it as not connected. Wireless connection is otherwise working on the pi.

Other things I've tried to troubleshoot this issue:

Verify connection: I verified everything is correct in setup from the tutorial. Username is pi, hostname is unchanged, updated through terminal. I can SSH into the pi from my laptop and send and receive files, etc. 

Updates and installing dependencies:  I suspect it might have something to do with the way the raspberry is configured. I ran into an error for "sudo apt-get install jack_transport_link rnbo-runner-panel," which gives the error: 

"E: Unable to locate package jack_transport_link

E: Unable to locate package rnbo-runner-panel"

I have used "sudo apt-get install" as well as "sudo apt update | sudo apt upgrade" and rebooted the pi. I'm at a loss. If anyone can tell me why the pi will not show up on the target window, that would be amazing. I have puzzled over this for several days.

Everyone, there are some things you just don't understand. 

I'm currently creating a microtonal midi keyboard, and would like to display the corresponding sound in bach.roll when a key is pressed. I input a list of [ 0 0 ] into the onsets inlet of bach.roll, (10) into the durations inlet, and [ midicents ] into the pitches or cents inlet using t l b b in this order, and finally send bang to the leftmost inlet to display the sound, but the unnecessary "do" (midicent 6000) is always displayed together. How can I prevent this unnecessary "do" from appearing only when I press the "do" key on my midi keyboard?

I cant manage to restore a patch snapshot from my Max for Live device - within Live.

Within Max, triggering a "restore 0" message to [thispatcher] works perfectly. But as soon as I open the device in Ableton, it ignores the message.

The snapshot is embedded, and is still present when i reopen the device in Max.
