I'm having an issue where I can close all Patchers, then I close Max - after which I can't reload Max.

If I click on the Max Icon, nothing happens.

If I reboot the PC, then I can load Max fine.

When I close Max I use the Menu File/Exit, because if I click the Red X button at top right of the window, Max minimizes to the System Tray, instead of Exiting.

When Max will not reload, if I look in Task Manager there is an entry for MAX using 187MB memory.

If I click 'End Task' nothing happens, I cannot exit that Max reference, as if it is stuck in memory.

The patch is a midi keyboard to control a digital LED strip where there are 49 LEDS. From 36 to 59 (bass line) yellow, from 60 to 71 (gradation colors from red to yellow and the data is a MARKOV output) and from 72 to 84 just yellow again. Each LED lit up the color based on its corresponding MIDI note based on what note was pressed. 

I would appreciate if any of you could help me with this issue.

Hi, I just stumbled upon ossia score which allows detection and control of OSC Devices through OSCQuery.

While they have their own external for Max, the OSCQuery functionality newly integrated in MaxMSP should work in communicating. Though I looked at the response from MaxMSP's OSCQuery Server, the format differs from the OSCQuery proposal stated here, 

https://github.com/Vidvox/OSCQueryProposal

For instance: min and max in MaxMSP's params have separate OSC Addresses, while the proposal uses a RANGE key with an object with min and max keys on the parameter. 

This mismatch seems to impact the ability for external programs to recognize the param with their properties, instead treating each property of the param as a modifiable param.

Wonder if there are workarounds on this? Or maybe an option can be added in Max to switch between OSCQuery formats?

Hi. I've got a bit of a niche Max for Live question - don't know if anyone will be able to help!

I'm using pattrstorage in a Max for Live plugin - it's very handy to have presets as there are a lot of parameters. However, it's also sometimes really useful to automate said parameters.

My problem is this: if I recall a preset slot from pattrstorage, and this is storing any of the automated parameters, those automation lines get greyed out and ignored until I click the magic orange arrow. Is there any way round this?

I understand this isn't a bug, and this behaviour makes sense. But it'd be really handy for my purposes if I could get the best of both worlds! They way I'd envisage it is that automation always takes priority, so if a value gets set by a preset but then an automation value comes in it would immediately set to that. Not that I intend to use both at once, I'd just love to have both options in the plugin - if that makes any sense!

I'm trying to run a patch that I made in Max 9 on an older computer that can only run Max 8. 

I've got jit.fx.blur and jit.fx.rgb2luma that can't be loaded, are they Max 9 only ? If so, is there an easy replacement for these two ?

my setup is a drum set with 7 midi trigger, an ableton set with 3 tracks, many scenes and clips.

When I'm in scene 1, trigger 7 is active to jump to scene 2 and activate all clips.

Since I'm in scene 2 all triggers are active, but now they have the following function:

Trigger 1  -> jump to last clip in track 1

Trigger 2  -> jump to next clip in track 1

Trigger 3  -> jump to last clip in track 2

Trigger 4  -> jump to next clip in track 2

Trigger 5  -> jump to last clip in track 3

Trigger 6  -> jump to next clip in track 3

Trigger 7 -> jump to a specific scene, for example 10.

Since I jumped to scene 10, triggers 1-6 are deactivated.
