Amazing news! Studying the RTC-lib files and the other works on your web site is what roped me in to using max after I was first introduced to the software at university. Also I think your "Sequitur" series is stunning, thank you Karlheinz.

..but i'm on windows OS...any version planned for the new 5.0?

many thanks!

I just posted an experimental Windows XP version of RTC-lib 5.0 to:

http://khz96.org/app/RTC-lib_50-WindowsXP.zip

where I exchanged the view remaining externals by their Windows equivalents. As I am not working on a PC I have no chance to test it myself - so please use it with care.

Awesome, thanks Karl for all your hard work!

Could some nice soul please tell me whether the Windows version of RTC-lib works?

trying the windows release (max novice here) on windows xp sp3 unzipping the files reports password locked directories. eg unable to get the RTC-overview.

nothing in the unzipped directory if i choose skip.

I tried copying directly from the zip into max-startup (which was read only, 'til I changed). nothing showed, but...

... using the browser, i did find a copy of the overview. maybe something to do with the max-startup directory,?

not sure what to expect from mac sourced zip.

I just posted a (hopefully) Windows compatible ZIP archive with the Windows version of the RTC-lib 5.0 to:

I am still getting error when it unzips, it complains about invalid

file names.


the most recent zip only reported a problem with the help file in "put content into max startup', requiring a password.

I think the same file is in 'put content into patchesRTC-libRTC-lib Help Help-Screens'. file is RTC-Overview

this is from an xp sp3 system, using '7-Zip', in my case.

while poking around last night i was having problems with the audio output.

it looks like init_Qt_synth is hardwired to "AU DLS Synth 1"

I have quicktime but am not sure about a synth. some other examples in 5.1 have a chooser for available targets. Maybe I can learn how to integrate that
