I have a simple question about something that I used to know how to do but apparently forgot.

How do you set the zoom factor on a patcher upon opening? I'd like some of my clunky patchers to open up at 75% instead of 100%. Thanks!

If you have placed objects vertically fairly close together (but the patch cable is visible)... what is the method to select and delete the patch cable?

max-short-cable.png

The outlet and inlet hot zones take up all the vertical space, so you can't click on the cable.

Zooming in seems also to zoom in on the hot zones, so you still can't click on the cable.

Do I have to move one object, delete the cable, and then move it back? That's not very user friendly.

I wish to map jit.noise (0.0-1.0 range) onto, say, -0.05 to 0.05.

I could do it with two jit.op's but this will get old very fast, because this is a common operation.

I thought it would be easier with [jit.expr @expr in[0] * 0.1 - 0.05] but I get the error "jit.expr: missing siblings converting infix to prefix (*)."

This isn't really a Max question, but I use Max to control an Eventide PitchFactor and I imagine some people here do as well.

I can't seem to load the last factory preset. It should be called with Program Change 99, but it ignores that. PC 98 and 99 call the same preset 98. SysEx Response is also identical. There is no custom program map configured in the device. According to the default map, PC 99 should call preset "50:2". But it loads "50:1" and I have to switch to "50:2" directly on the device. In play mode you don't see it, but it doesn't load either. TimeFactor and Space Pedal also refuse to load the last preset.

I can't find anything about it on the web. Does anyone know the problem and has it perhaps already solved?

I'm using js to log from the max console to an external text file. 

It's working well, and I even have it starting a new file when the file exceeds a certain size. 

When this happens, it copies the contents of the log to a new file with a timestamp in the filename,

and then clears the original log file, and starts writing to it again. 

I haven't found a delete or clear funtionality, so I am setting the end of file to 0 (ie file.eof=0).

This does the job of making the file blank when I check it with a text editor. Is there anything wrong with doing it this way? What happens to the memory that was occupied by the file contents? Is it immediately freed when i close the file with file.close() ?

When dumping the content of a playlist~ to a dict (“

” message), the resulting dictionary contains a single key “clips” with the clip data under it a subdirs. These subdirs have no keys.

Screen Shot 2023-02-07 at 11.32.02.png

They can be accessed by getting “clips[n]” from the dict, as if each subdir is a cell in an array, but there is only one array under the “clips” key.

I have not been able to reproduce a dict structure with keyless subdirs like that.

I’m at a loss how to query the dict for the existence of, say, a field 

 without traversing all the subdirs using
