I decided to jump to Max9, and run projects on an alternate configuration for a decent performance on Jitter : MacOS Sequoia (intel), eGPU with an AMD RX6800XT (which I frequently use with Blender)

It turns out I'm running at a solid 60FPS, but for the wrong reason : nothing shows up, on any GL related object, and no error is logged in the console. Just a grey window, and this message on launch : 

OpenGL Version 4.1 ATI087.0.24, GLSL Version 4.10

Same result on every setting I tried, except when reverting from 

There is very little info online, I simply wonder if anything *not Metal* has simply been dropped on MacOS versions of Max. Otherwise, has anyone had any luck with a similar setup?

When I want to upload an effect to mod duo and press the export code button, I just get a prompt to select the folder instead of the expected behavior of progress and completion on the watch window. From what I’ve seen in the video tutorial Gen should be finding the mod duo automatically and just pushing the code to mod duo. Does anybody know anything about this?

Sorry for posting about a side topic regarding this forum, but I have looked a bit everywhere on the internet and since Soundflower was initially developped by Cycling74, I thought that might not be totally out of place.

Also, Soundflower is a very useful audio application...

It seems impossible to install soundflower on recent Macs.

I used all the procedures recommended on the web and keep failing 

Is there an alternative to Sound Flower? It is very convenient yet.

I've been having problems recently with a patch that I wrote for a Wacom drawing tablet that uses the [hi] object. I understand that there's a fine balance here between the way Max works, the driver/firmware for the drawing tablet, and the OS itself, but I was wondering if anyone could suggest any tips for debugging/fixing this before I resorted to some drastic and/or tedious solution.

At the moment, my patch works just as I want it to, however it 

 works when I am running it on macOS Catalina. When I have the Wacom tablet plugged in, I can access all of its functionality using the [hi] object. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, I have not been able to replicate this experience on any other machine, specifically those that are running both older and newer versions of macOS. When I have my drawing tablet plugged in on these machines, I am able to focus on the device using [hi], but the object doesn't output everything that I expect it to after sending it 'poll 1'. I can only get access to the tablet's buttons (essentially modifier keys), however [hi] is unable to capture the touchpad input (mouse emulation using the stylus). In all cases, I have combed the system preferences thoroughly and have even tried booting with the security chip disabled to see if that is blocking access to the tablet. I have also tried it both with and without the proprietary drivers installed. And still, I am always unable to capture the touchpad using the [hi] object! Does anyone have any tips for dealing with HIDs that aren't transmitting all of their data? Perhaps this is specific to mouse HIDs, as this is the main functionality that is not working for me? 

In all of the scenarios that I have mentioned, I have been running the latest version of Max.

Note sure if this issue has been encountered by someone. I seem to be having some sort of audio interference whenever I record a Modular synth jam and use the Expert Sleepers ES-8 module in order to modulate and trigger different eurorack modules.

The "noise colouring" cannot be heard through my modular setup's mixer and I do not think I can hear it through my audio interface.

Here is an audio clip from a quick setup using Max to trigger and modulate a Noise Engineering Loquelis Iteritas modules using a step sequencer as well as a lorenz attractor to modulate various params.

It might be due to the ES-8 acting as an audio driver while recording on Ableton 10...

I have a Zoom L-12, which has the option to act as an audio interface via a switch on the back. I have the most recent firmware update on the L-12 and updated drivers for an MBP. Running Max 8.0.4.

If I set the L-12 as the audio output, it hangs for a few seconds before starting up audio. Once "active," I get what looks like DC on Max's master output meter - the bar fills up to 0dB and stays there, whether audio is happening or not. If I play a basic test patch (cherokee.aif -> live.gain~ -> ezdac~), no sound is played, and the playhead of the playlist~ object doesn't move.

Is anyone else having this issue? The L-12 works just fine as an interface in Logic and Live, so it seems like it's more Max than the driver.

I am trying to get the gyroscope and accerometer data from a PS4 controller to use these in a project but I don't seem to getting anything that appears to be related to these. I'm using HI and the main three data outputs that I seem to be constantly getting is from 0,4. 20 if the controller is swong very quickly but these don't seem to be outputting anything that relates to what is happening to the controller. Is it even possible to get this data into max?

I know on Steam that the big picture interface can use all of this data including changing colour and vibration but I'd imagine this is because they are directly communicating with the PS4 controller not just trying to see outputs that it is sending?

A bit more of a totalmix question than a max question, but I thought I would ask here for starters. I can get my interface to connect with Max no problem through the audio status. The problem is if I have a mic setup, and turn off the dac in Max (or even completely close max for that matter), I can still hear sound coming from the mic out of the speakers. Which means that if I want to process any live sound with Max, I am still getting a little bit of unprocessed sound mixed in because of what is happening with totalmix. How do I get totalmix to send sound only to Max and not directly out to the speakers?
