I have a strange problem with a Max patch. Everything works fine except one stuff. But it's an important one. I try to be the most precise as possible.

- Macbook Pro (Retina, 15 pouces, fin 2013), 2,6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 Go, Yosemite 10.10.5

I use a Max patch to control some visual parameters in Processing (P5). This patch contains around sixty parameters (see file Max_visual_patch_preset_30). I use OSC to send the data from Max to P5 (local). All Max parameters are stored in different presets with a pattrstorage object.

I need to select the preset from an Ableton Set using a specific MaxForLive patch (see file Max4Live_visual_patch_control). I use OSC (local, port 7000). Sometime, it works and sometime not. That is my problem. I select the preset with an automation writing technic (see file Max4Live_preset_automation).

- The Max4live patch send the preset number to the Max patch, with OSC (local, port 7000). For example : preset 30.

- The live.numbox in the Max patch received the preset number and display it (the live.numbox is places on the top-right, below the "initialization" button). Then, it display "30".

- When it didn't work, there is only one thing allows me to correct the problem : re-write the number 30 in the live.numbox with my laptop keyboard and clic on "Enter". So, I have to reload the preset but the strange thinks is that only this way works !

- I send a bang to the live.numbox (to reload 30 because it is writed in the GUI object), it doesn't work !

- I send the message 30 to the live.numbox, it doesn't work !

- I use an trigger object to reload the preset 30 several times [t i i], it doesn't work !

- .../... I try several thinks but only one works : write the number with the keyboard and clic on "Enter" !

But for my project, I can't use my laptop on stage...

I try to understand why but I block... I did a lot of tests to diagnostic the problem.... For example :

- I change the OSC way by a MIDI way : it doesn't work !

- I change the resolution of the GUI interface : load Max in low resolution (because of retina display), change the scheduler to decrease the refresh rate of the GUI interface... : it doesn't work !

- I try on my iMac (same OS 10.10.5, same Ableton and Max version) : it doesn't work !

- I remove the abstraction that I use to manage the presets and keep only the pattrstorage object : it doesn't work !

if anyone has already had this problem, I need his help :-)

PS : another information (but I don't know if it is connected with my previous one) : sometime, when I want to switch off Max, Max doesn't want or later... Often, I have to force quit... but the patch works fine !

I use:
- Macbook Pro (Retina, 15 pouces, fin 2013), 2,6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 Go, Yosemite 10.10.5
- Max 7.2.3
- Ableton Live 9.6.2

What's happens exactly :
- The Max4live patch send the preset number to the Max patch, with OSC (local, port 7000). For example : preset 30.
- The live.numbox in the Max patch received the preset number and display it (the live.numbox is places on the top-right, below the "initialization" button). Then, it display "30".
- Sometime it works, sometime not.
- When it didn't work, there is only one thing allows me to correct the problem : re-write the number 30 in the live.numbox with my laptop keyboard and clic on "Enter". So, I have to reload the preset but the strange thinks is that only this way works !

If :
- I send a bang to the live.numbox (to reload 30 because it is writed in the GUI object), it doesn't work !
- I send the message 30 to the live.numbox, it doesn't work !
- I use an trigger object to reload the preset 30 several times [t i i], it doesn't work !
- .../... I try several thinks but only one works : write the number with the keyboard and clic on "Enter" !

Thank you for your help.
