This has bought my entire project to a standstill. I should be able to grab the rotating turntable platter without fail every time. But 

, occasionally, say once in every 30 clicks, the mouse click will fail to register. It should register every time.

https://files.michaelzfreeman.org/piatto_pallini2_check-mate.png

I've tried altering all sorts of objects and also tried the screenraycast and raytest methods but that suffered from the same intermittent fail.

I have a Max project that I made in version 8 that has become strangely unreliable, in that it works on some but not all of a group of seemingly identical iMacs.  

I have a teaching lab full of iMacs that I use for a class about music and brains, and I made a little patcher to record people's ratings of randomly presently intervals.  It uses the AU DLS synth, a choice which seemed to make sense at the time because I wanted a piano sample, and the DLS sample is good enough for this exercise.  But now I find that the same patcher works on some machines, is very quiet on others, and on some machines, makes no sound at all.

It seems as if the master volume on the DLS synth is getting changed without me realizing it, and I don't know how to change it back.  Is there some kind of a message I need to send to the DLS synth?  I found this link

https://docs.cycling74.com/legacy/max8/vignettes/built_in_midi_synth

which talks  about using message boxes and a particular start to the messages, ;#SM, but I don't know the message would be to change the volume, or even where to look for this info (besides here.)

Here's the project - can anyone help me troubleshoot this?  I'm sure the answer is stupidly simple....but it is a stupidly simple thing that I don't know (draw your own conclusions!)

DIADINATOR2.zip

Click on the "seal" in the lower right corner to start - it is supposed to present a random dyad, from a random midi note between 50 something and 60 something....you rate it by pressing 1 to 7 on the keyboard and hitting return, at which point it plays a different dyad on a different root.  It keeps track of the data (check the console) and at the end of 24 trials asks you to save the file. 

On half of my iMacs, it works perfectly.  On 3 of them, it is silent.  On another 2 or 3, it is very quiet.  An explanation would be much appreciated!

Hi, ive done some great stuff with daisy, implementing granular, scrubbing, glitchy stuff. But one issues that has come a lot is that im getting a lot of unwanted artifacts when playing back the buffer that I dont get when i do it in max gen~, it sounds perfect when i test it in max but once its ported to daisy i get a lot of sample reduction that i dont hear when its on the computer. 

ill post the max patch if anyone wants to look into it.

the question is: what can i do to reduce these artifacts? i tried different interpolation modes in the sample object in gen~ but no luck yet. it def seems like a translation issue from software to hardware. It seems to happen less when i read with an SD card directly from a sample. However, I am using a rolling buffer that im recording external audio from and that tends to become more artifacty in a way i dont like

So after quite a long time of development and documentation I am ready to release Data Knot v1.0 (formerly SP-Tools), a Max package of machine learning tools for low latency real-time performance. The package, along with a load of tutorial videos, will go live on the Max Package Manager next week on the 15th of October.

It’s a monumental update. The updated package is made up of 125 objects across 13 categories spanning low latency onset detection, onset-based and real-time descriptor analysis, classification and clustering, regression and prediction, corpus analysis and querying, synthesis and modeling, audio, data, and CV processing, and a slew of other abstractions that are optimized for low latency applications.

To celebrate the launch, I will be doing a livestream on YouTube at 8pm (GMT+1) / 3pm (EST). (

Leading up to the launch I will be posting a couple of videos. The first is a mini teaser showing a bit of what’s in store with the second one being the full Performance and Musical Examples video.

Hello - I am running an installation that needs to have Max be the foremost app on startup.  

When the computer shuts down and starts up again (daily),  the max patch reloads normally.  However, the desktop is still on the Finder window, not on Max.  Thus, when the activation switch for the installation  is depressed, it doesn't register on the max window.  It won't work until I physically click the cursor on the max patch.  And I am not at the location to do that.

Is there a way to make sure that the Max window is foremost on the desktop when restarting?  Does anyone have an automator sequence that would do this, or can guide me with the steps necessary to accomplish this?  Many thanks-
