It works perfectly for me in 6 but won't work in 5.

The play~ help file works so it isn't the DSP status.

I wanted to share this with my students but we are running 5 in class and it won't work for them either.

I can't see it. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Same results on different machines.
Same audio file. Same coll data.

The "start" stuff is new in 6, I think. This works in 5:

Chris is correct, the start message of play~ object has been introduced in Max 6.


I posted an observation a few days ago in

https://cycling74.com/forums/copy-compressed-in-max-6

that when you "Copy Compressed" in Max 6 the start and end lines still say "Max 5" and when you post this in the forum the marker still says "Pasted Max 5 Patch".

If this could be corrected in a future update it would help a lot.

1) Why didn't I get a message in the max window that play~ didn't understand the "start" message?

2) On further testing I had problems with the playback on the max 5 version posted above.

Here is a max 5 compatible patch that more closely emulates the original max 6 patch.

I don't know why play~ didn't complain. I agree that it probably should have.

I guess I'm not surprised that there were problems with the patch I posted. I threw it together very quickly. Sorry.

Patch works in 6 but not in 5 - any ideas?
