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

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.

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.

i've tried using the "transport active" flag from plugsync~ to tell rate~ to reset, but this still causes erratic behaviour where rate~ sometimes begins a new cycle on the second beat (shown in blue), or resets to a different point in its cycle (shown in red). i assume this is because plugsync~ is outputting data at event rate (?) while plugphasor~ is synchronised at audio rate...

I'm experiencing some issues with having a pfft~ subpatch inside a Max4Live patch, and I'm not sure what the root of the problem is. My guess at the moment is just having this pfft~ subpatch, since I have never had any problems with my other patches or even having a poly~ subpatch. 

Both the main patch (.amxd) and the subpatch (.maxpat) are in the same folder: /Ableton/User Library/Presets/Audio Effects/ Max Audio Effects/

The Max4Live Patch is frozen, but I cannot freeze the subpatch. The freeze sign is greyed out since the format is .maxpat. 

Maybe there's something wrong with my patching. I don't have much experience with pfft~ so I'm using this patch from a lesson as a tryout.

Please fix this two bugs regarding the vst~ object: I am using an M4L plugin with a vst~ object in Ableton Live. When I load Kontakt into this vst~ object within M4L and load some sound libraries in Kontakt, if I write some automation controls (e.g., CC) in the track and playback, it consumes an extremely high amount of CPU. This leads to severe UI lag in Ableton Live during playback, and the audio may also break up as a result. Additionally, after I save this Live set and reopen it, the sound libraries in Kontakt within the vst~ object do not reload—only an empty shell of Kontakt remains! These two issues did not exist in Max 8. It has been so long since Max 9 was released, and these problems still haven't been fixed. I am utterly disappointed and frustrated! Below is the patcher I used for testing:

I am building a Max4Live devices that querries regularly clips' start_time and name with the "get" method via live.object.

I've realized that setting the ID in the live.object introduces a "change" in Ableton Live's Undo History. This scalates quite quickly and if using many devices, the undo history is unusuable.

Is there a reason for this? It is the first time I've seen this, though I've used live.object already a few times before.

So in the patch excerpt, I am first getting all arrangament clips, and then iterating through them to get start_time and name. The first live.object is ok and is not causing any changes. The second one, as soon as I set the ID, will produce a change. It happens the same with live.observer (and I can't call the start_time method like this).

I'm really lost here and the issue is quite heavy, since it really renders the undo history unusable.

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?
