The patch in the screenshot below is running perfectly with Preview Mode On. Preview Mode Off completely kills the performance to the point of the patch being unusable - audio crackles and drops out. What is going on?

I'm using a standard HTML textarea inside a jweb object in Max 9 on macOS.

Is this a known limitation of jweb on macOS, or is there any workaround to enable native text editing shortcuts and IME candidate selection?

I am using fixed colors in my device, and yet when I change the Live theme, it changes the fixed colors. Light theme is forces light grey elements to black. 

I would expect dynamic colors to change, but not fixed colors.

Also, when I shared my device with a friend (both using Live 11), the off-white elements turned to black when he is using a dark theme, thus making it unreadable.

It seems that a subdiv in a newly loaded patcher wont evaluate a recently assigned prob value as soon as the transport starts...is there a workaround for this?

If you load up this example patcher and then start the transport, the first subdiv of 16 gets output according to subdiv's default @prob 1 while the following subdivs get the more recently assigned prob 0. On subsequent loops, no subdivs are output so its only that first loop where the new prob value isn't evaluated for the very first subdiv. 

This is a dumbed down example but its causing me problems in a sequencer device I'm building whereby the first note is often triggered when it shouldnt be or not triggered when it should be after my device has been loaded and the transport is started for the first time. Beyond that first time, the first subdiv is output correctly. 

For anyone who might want to test it more quickly by deleting/re-loading the device in Live i'll include an .amxd

I have a problem. In an Ableton Live set I am working on I did at some point make a max for live patch with ; max maxwindow in it to open the console window to check a few things while i was working.

This worked great, but I am done with the console window now, but even if I close it everytime something is printet to the max window (like a number being out of range, or udpreceive is binding to port etc.) the window pops up again! In the middle of the screen. Close it, same thing happens every message. I am not triggering any ;max maxwindow messages, and if i open the patches in another liveset I don't have the problem.

Is there a way to deactivate the max window again in this liveset?

Resolved: Turns out Granulator 2 was the problem.

I have been losing my mind. I need to use the delay object and I feel like I'm doing it all correctly but when I put the delay in, nothing happens. Nothing can get through. 

I have tried creating a new device, restarting my computer, restarting max. 

Someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong lol

So I've got a live.numbox in percent unit style with a range of 0 to 200, and I'd like it to have 201 possible values. With the steps attribute set to 0, I can only land on odd numbers. If I set steps to 201, I can only land on even numbers. If I set steps to 402, it works as expected (I'm able to select every integer from 0 to 200). Am I missing something about how this is supposed to work?

[Edit: My original post said that changing the steps attribute seemed to stop the numbox sending out its value on startup, but never mind, I think that’s a separate issue.]

hello folks! i'm working on an m4l MIDI device that uses plugphasor~ and rate~ (in "lock" sync mode) to derive what 

 be sample-accurate timing over the course of an arbitrary number of bars (4, 8, 16, etc).

however, using rate~ in combination with plugphasor~ to create a master phasor of a length longer than 1 beat introduces a problem where rate~ wants to pick up from where it left off when transport stops and starts again.
