Value doesn't save
Hi everyone! I'm a very, very fresh Max beginner so I have a very, very basic issue:
I took the "Velocity Sequencer" tutorial on youtube, everything seems to work except that the multislider object won't retain 16 as the "number of slider" value. It keeps reseting to 1 after I save & close the Max window. I tried deleting it and remaking it, saving the patch under another name, rebooting Live and Max... Nothing works.
I'm confused. Can someone help me please?
It's not broken. The person who made the patch didn't make any assumptions about whether or not to save the number of sliders. The questions of how their assumptions and yours differ will be a part of your Max patching life.
So you want to save that value? If I were you, I'd take this as an opportunity to explore Max's documentation as a way to look for answers.
Specifically, I would take a look at creating snapshots of a Max patch. The easiest way to learn about that is to type "snapshot" into the text window in the upper right-hand corner of any Max patcher window. Check out the stuff that comes up under Documentation and you'll find a useful place to start learning.
Checking Max's built-in documentation is a good habit to start picking up as a beginner.
Hey there,
Thanks for your answer, turns out it was a pretty simple problem. I learn faster with tutorials, but I'll check the reading material you pointed me to ^^
thanks again
EDIT Specifically, what happened is that a pattr object used to retain the settings after session shut down was resetting the attributes, I must have not gotten the order of the steps right.

Ok, I see your point :D Sometimes you just need a quick hand on little things, right?
