Help! Is this a bug? I can't turn on the toggle with MSP on.

This isn't useless at all! It's, like, the biggest bug ever I think.

thanks for pointing this out, it's unforgivable that something this simple still persists in 2015.

I should note that I'm still on Max 6.1.9 (64 bit).

I love Cycling74 as much as you guys, but I won't upgrade if this is not resolved in Max 7... can anyone confirm?

...o my gosh,
this is soo terrible!
I can confirm
I want my money back!


If indeed the problem lies with some conflict between MSP and the toggle, I'm thinking that a possible workaround might be to build a patch with the toggle in a standalone, sending its control info through UDP to the main patch... Would this work? Or would an approach with two top-level patches be enough?

definitely don't be afraid of using the top-level patches with the UDP connection. I have great experience with pattr-over-UDP by now. Toggling will be greatly improved!

My problem with two top-level patches is that I think DSP on/off is global for the application, not independent... hence the idea of the standalone...

Anyway, the pattr object is a good idea, as I can save two presets with the on or off positions...

Another approach would be to not use the toggle object at all and build a toggle with jsui!

I have to think about it...


skipping straight to a larger javascript solution is generally my recommendation.

My interest was so picked at first when i saw all the comments here. Then i saw it with my own eyes and... oh my gosh. How did i never realize that.

But, as a workaround (and well it's just a workaround i know) maybe you could "correct" the signal with a gen~ custom algorithm ?.. or maybe something wiht Jitter i don't know

Confirmed! I tried swiz'ing the different inputs in jit.gen, and it worked!

I'm on my way to toggling all the things. So good.

Guys, even if Wetterberg's swiz and jit.gen solution works, I must say: I don't trust the toggle object anymore...

The previous bug was already bad, but now it's even worse: the toggle object is messing not only inside Max, but outside as well.. just try it:

2. Now try to click anywhere, inside or outside of Max. The system is totally unresponsive!

3. You only regain control by pressing the Escape key...

So, I must conclude that, besides conflicting with MSP, the toggle button also messes up with the mouse systemwide... try it for yourself!

On a related note, I've just found that the textbutton object has a toggle mode! So, for me, no more toggle object...

in this patcher, if i click on the toggle, max will just 

 !!! straightforward crash !!! each time !!!

from now on i will stay away from toggles as well.

:/
now this gets srs

Toggle is such a basic object... I think I understand cycling's silence about this... what an embarassment...

we are looking into it. no idea how this slipped in to the release.
