Scheduler in Max For Live questions (overdrive, audio interrupt, Task objects etc.)
1. Is Overdrive always enabled in Max For Live?
2. Is that officially documented somewhere? I cannot find it.
3. Is Scheduler in Audio Interrupt always enabled in Max For Live?
4. Is that officially documented somewhere?
5. In Options->Audio Status, do the "Scheduler in Overdrive" and "Audio Interrupt" settings apply to Max For Live?
6. Is that officially documented somewhere?
7. Do the Scheduler settings in Options->Preferences apply when running patches in Max For Live? Or, is Max For Live's scheduling controlled or managed by Ableton?
8. Is that officially documented somewhere?
Thank you in advance.
you can make mx4live device to querry all parameters that are supported
by max runtime within live.
for example
;
max checkpreempt xxx
returns overdrive status to r xxx

While that is useful and interesting, I do not see how it tells us whether those parameters are supported by the Max runtime in Live. It seems like it is just a programmatic way to inspect Max's settings.
Am I missing something?
In any case, thank you for the reply.
live runtime is faceless binary, but in practice same as
max runtime binary.
I would imagine that it has some kind of local control,
which is not exposed to user by means of live preferences.
But it is left to you and ther live users to check if setting variables from
m4live devices using messages to max or adstatus make any difference.
I am not live user and have no interest in it.
When running in Max for Live (out of edit mode) Max runs as if the Overrdrive is on and Audio in Interrupt is selected, with a signal vector size of 64, none of which can be changed.
I can't recall where this is documented - it is, but not terribly well and it's not easy to find. But it's there somewhere on the Live site! HTH
