polybuffer causes crash?
If I open this device, and then drag a file onto the drop file, so that the message box gets populated, and then save the device, Ableton will crash every single time. It seems like when the readfolder message is sent to polybuffer~ when the device is saved, that this causes Ableton to crash.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Hi! My students and I have run into the same problem. [polybuffer~] is unusable in Max for Live. When saving a device, Live crashes.
I think it happens specifically when a polybuffer~ is automatically filled with the "readfolder" message, executed by a live.thisdevice.
Anyone else noticed this behaviour?
not to dig up an old thread but yes, readfolder with polybuffer crashing max4live, curiously only in live11 and not in live10 for me.
tried to load up an old patch and whittled it down to polybuffer
Just experienced the same thing with Ableton 11.1.1. Still nothing solved with this?
What did you guys use instead to avoid the crash?
Hi jose
cycling support were very helpful here
in my case this worked :
“It looks like I can stop the crashing if I give an initial second argument to [buffer table] inside your mc.gen~.
For example, [buffer bar table.1] inside mc.gen~ and then in [p wavespread], you could have the message "set value $1 bar $2"
If I set it up in this way, I can set which buffer of the polybuffer~ each voice of the mc.gen~ is using, and I don't get a crash.
Let me know if this matches your experience’
Hi there,
Running into this same problem again, with Ableton 12 and Max 9.
Teeshirtguys - I am not using mc or gen, I'm just loading a folder into a polybuffer~ and it crashes all the time. Last time I ditched the poly buffer~ and went in a different rout to avoid the problem. This time I do need it and need to find a way to make it work.
What does that second argument on buffer mean? Would it apply to polybuffer? Would it be the index of the buffer?
Thanks for any help
