I have some custom-built externals which work perfectly fine in Max itself, but whenever I try to build a standalone with them I get "no such object" errors. I have tried including the .mxe64 files themselves and tried including the folder they're in. I've tried putting them in the main Max externals folder. I've tried building a collective instead of a standalone executable. I have verified that the .mxe64 files are actually present in the resources folder of the built standalone, but it just does not seem to matter (and I have tried manually moving them to the resources folder even though they already exist there). The strangest thing of all is that out of all the countless times I've tried to build, it actually did work maybe two or three times when I saved the patch as a project first and then built it. But I can't get that to work anymore now either. I have verified that it acts the same way on a different computer.

I feel like I've tried everything. Any ideas what could possibly be causing this?

I’m working on developing the template made by Stefan Brunner that lets you « convert » RNBO patches to VST using juce (

https://github.com/Cycling74/rnbo.example.juce

During the development of my solution, I debugged with Max, with a vst~ object in it that allowed me to open my plugin without any problems. The templates now runs how I want it to, builds and run like a charm. The only problem is that the VST that it outputs seems to not respect every rules (?) needed for it to work properly. Let me explain. When I first compiled the code, I tried to open the plugin in Live, didn’t work, opened it in Max and Reaper and it worked, so I chose to develop using Max and focus on that problem later. Everything worked fine, I even linked max to an Xcode Scheme, and it provided a really smooth workflow. Now that I’v finished this phase, I want to fix the bug I’ve had since the start. I’ve tried to debug using pluginVal 

https://github.com/Tracktion/pluginval/tree/develop

https://github.com/steinbergmedia/vst3sdk

), and it doesn’t seem to see any problem.  

Still, the VST doesn’t appear in Ableton Live. Trying to see what is wrong, I went into Reaper to open it. It worked a few times, but without the changes I implemented to the template (and auto. GUI). Then after a few trials, it seems that it is keeping a version of the VST and not changing it (same name, same UI), even when I change the version in my Plugin folder (I tried every re-scan options)… I really don’t know what is happening, and would really appreciate some help.

Fixing custom RNBO to VST detection/execution bug

I'm using the RNBO export function and the VCV rack SDK to translate my RNBO patches into Rack modules. I'm trying to hack a little bit into the system (module.cpp, rnbo_source.cpp and others) in order to be able to control the appearance of the final module directly from the parameters or in/outlets metadata field. 

The issue is that there is no implementation of the "meta" field in the rnbo c++ export. Well, it does exist in the "description.json", but there is no solution implemented to access it easily, meaning that the field doesn't exit in the "rnbo_source.cpp", neither in the "ParameterInfo" struct in "RNBO_Types.h" : 

struct ParameterInfo
	{
		ParameterType type;
		IOType ioType = IOTypeUndefined;
		ParameterValue min = 0.;
		ParameterValue max = 1.;
		ParameterValue initialValue = 0.;
		ParameterValue exponent = 1.;
		int steps = 0; // 0 = continuous, 1 = toggle, 2+ indicates steps in the normalized representation
		bool debug = false;
		bool saveable = false;
		bool transmittable = false;
		bool initialized = false;
		bool visible = false;
		const char **enumValues = nullptr;
		const char *displayName = "";
		const char *unit = "";
		SignalIndex signalIndex = INVALID_INDEX;
	};


As these files are generated by RNBO during the export, I cannot modify them in order to have the informations needed. I don't want my first option to be to parse the .json file... Is there any way that I could get the metadata directly from the RNBO export in a way similar to the ParameterInfo struct ?

On Max 9.0.5 running on a MacBook M1 Air laptop, I just observed a very strange reproducible crash, which can be demonstrated  in the  minimal external code below.

 method there are 4 illustrative cases which were tested individually and in each case where a

I'm trying to port my old sfmarkers~ external to ARM and just noticed it doesn't work for AIFF files since some Max versions.

I does work with Max8.1.11 but not with 8.3.3 and later (on intel, 64bits).

As far as I still understand my 20+ years old code,  the call to 

 pointer in the _sndfileinfo structure, even if markers are present in the soundfile.

Did something change in  sndfile_info() between Max8.1 and Max8.3?

I'm working on my first external, and I'm facing a strange issue. My external compiles fine and behaves as I want. I save a patcher with the external in it, still no issue. 

But if I close and start Max again, and directly load the patcher with the external, then I get a "No such object" error. 

One way to clear the issue is to open a new empty patcher, create an object with the external (which is now visible and doesn't cause an error), close the empty patcher (without saving it), and only then edit the external object in the original patcher. 

I'm on Windows 10, Max 8.6.1, SDK 8.2 and the external is in C.

Hi there — I’m working on a Max/MSP external that processes a buffer of sound. I have a crash in buffer_locksamples that only occurs if the user changes the filename argument of the buffer that is being referenced while the external is running.

For instance, my [buffer~] object is set to ‘buffer~ myBuffer jongly.aif’. If I go in and change it to ‘buffer~ myBuffer duduk.aif’, while my external is running, I get the crash in this second line

t_buffer_obj *buffer = buffer_ref_getobject(x->bufferRef);
bufferPtr = buffer_locksamples( buffer );

My external never receives a buffer_changed notification — it just crashes with a EXC_BAD_ACCESS error.
