Saving max patchers

njr26062000's icon

Hi there,

I'm trying to find an easy way to save my max patches so that they appear exactly how i left them. The preset option seems to not suffice for such, as I am using bpatchers, amxd's, and a series of subpatchers in my 'parent' patch. please suggest a good way to do this

best,
nick

Well, some objects will let you set the attribute embed to 1. You also have the ability to save settings with pattrstorage and autopattr. You can even store data in a coll, save it, and retrieve it later.

If you want to only save it a specific way and then load it that same way everytime, you can use loadbang and loadmess.

Would be great to have the "embed" option for all relevant objects. sliders, int, float...

I sometimes use this workaround for values I tweak a lot:

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.
