set default values and presentation mode at load

lucycle's icon

Hello,
I'm still new at Max. How could I set default values (I remember something in a tutorial that I can't find back) in a patch?
And How can the presentation mode be active when loading the patch?
Thank you !

You can either use a combination of loadbang and message boxes to store the defaults, or autopattr if you're feeling advanced.

Presentation mode can be set as the default in the patcher inspector.

ok, it works that way.
I thought I'd heard in a tutorial that there were another way to set default values, with a special key hold, but I can't find it back..
Thank you anyway, its fine.

Thanx for these precisions.

If I understand your question, you can use the key object.

Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

The use of 'Qlist' gives a lot of possibilities.

maybe it's [preset] you're looking for. By holding down shift and clicking on a circle you can store values.

I thought there was something that could be settled in the inspector or something like that. But Those ways work pretty fine! :) Thank you.
