I want to simultaneously change the key of all of my audio clips in Ableton's clip view.

I've tried selecting all the clips and midi mapping the transpose dial. However, whenever you trigger a different audio clip, Ableton will transpose THAT clip instead of all of them.

It only transposes whichever transpose dial is on top. I don't know how to make sure that the grouped transpose option is always on top...

I'm hoping someone here may know how I can send OSC messages from Max to another computer?

In this case, I'm actually sending to an ETC Ion Lighting console.

The connection needs to be hardwired, so it would go from iMac with Max to router to console via Cat5 network cable.

I have tried using the udpsend but do not know how to get the message out of Max. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can provide more context if needed.

I'm writing to ask whether anybody has found a way to make file references in the playlist~ object relative to the max patch (like the object it is based on - sfplay~)? I'm specifically having this problem giving an ensemble a piece with a standalone, which uses the playlist~ object. It seems like the files aren't relative (like in sfplay~), and so they do not load (eg. they reference the full filepath of my computer). I see that the example audio files in Max's loop browser (jongly.aif), aren't referenced in the same way as files I have dragged in.

One approach I can think of would be using the dict function of the playlist~, and creating a coll with the filename info in it (along with other info - selection etc.), and using a combination of 'append $1' and other relevant commands to load it on start-up... But that seems like a lot of faff for such a user-friendly object? Can it be exposed to pattr? Or could I export a JSON dict, and then load the dict back into it?

I did a forum search but haven't unearthed anything. I reckon something along these lines would be a good feature to add in, if the functionality isn't there. There is probably a really elegant way of doing this - my handling of presets etc isn't great.

I have several versions of projects and patchers that are showing up in the 'open recent...' menus, and for productivity's sake I want to clear/erase this menu, but there doesn't seem to be a solution.

I need some help on this one. I'm trying to build a phaser effect,

but don't know how exactly this is supposed to work.

What I've tried so far is line up four allpass objects and throw a chord through it.

This delivers something that sounds like a phaser.

But yet I don't know how to feed the signal back into the allpass filters.

And am I supposed to set different delay times for the allpass filters?

Max starts very slow on Windows 10 and 11. I try different machines, decent hardware e.g. AMD 5700U, 16 GB RAM. fast NVMe SSD. Other software behaves generally as expected. Disabling the "Virus &Threat Protection" did not help. I see nothing special in the processes, no excessive load on CPU. It takes minimum 35 seconds to start. It is empty Max of course, no patches loaded. Plugins scanning preferences set to "minimal/fast". I do not know what else I could optimize. Anybody else with that problem?

PS. On my MB Air M1 with only 8 GB RAM it is almost instantly up and ready (<1 s).

The [loudness~] object increases the RAM used over time on Windows.

Setup a [loudness~ @interval 50] object and run an audio file through it. For more more obvious results, copy 10 versions of the loudness object and have it report into the [live.numbox] with the LUFS units like shown in the maxhelp patch.

Over time, there should not be unlimited increasing RAM use.

Over time, the memory used by Max on Windows increases until audio processing starts to get garbled/glitchy.

Depending on the requirement, [average~] in RMS mode, or maybe [M4L.envfol~] for envelope following for workarounds.

Am establishing communication between Max and a BLE-enabled ESP32-C3 with the following steps on a MacBook Pro.

Looking to automate everything as much as possible, though.

Is there any way to connect Max and the ESP32-C3 without having to use Audio Midi Setup (or any outside) application?

should result in an output of 4, because the fourth item (65) is the highest in the list.

should result in an output of 8, because the eight item (7) is the highest in the list.

All my lists are 8 items long without repeats, every number will be unique.

Does anyone have an idea how to do this? All help is very much appreciated!
