problems with filterdesign+cascade~

Hi all,

I just noticed two nasty bugs on filterdesign with cascade~, at least on my machine (MBP Core2Duo 2,16GHz, OS 10.6.8):

1/ after opening the the patch below, which is an excerpt of filterdesign’s help file, when I switch on the dac for the first time, the output of cascade clips, and the peakamp shows a "Inf" value:

– Pasted Max Patch, click to expand. –

Sometimes the problem does not occur, I was not able to understand in which conditions. But I found the way to make the problem appear again, by doing this:
. open the previous patch and switch on the dac. If the problem does not occur, then…
. alt-click on the filterdesign box in the patch to open the help file
. close the first patch, leaving only the help file open
. switch on the dac: normally, this creates the "inf" clip again

Sorry not to be able to provide a simpler way to achieve this bug.

2/ Another problem, maybe related, occurs when the order is changed from a small value to a higher value: there is a short peak which amplitude depends on the difference between the new order and the previous order. For instance, if the order is changed from 2 to 50, the output clips and the peakamp~ shows a value around 50.

Hi,

Exactly the same thing here with Max 6.0.1

Same here, except with a filtergraph~ feeding the cascade~.

I sent a bug report to support [at] cycling [dot] com. Would’ve used the bug report form but didnt seem to have the option to attach files.

Hope it helps to get it sorted.

Any progress on this Dave? It’s been happening a lot to my filters.

thanks,

This has been fixed for our forthcoming Max 6.0.2 release.

Cheers,
Tim

cascade~ is actually still problematic in 6.0.5
