 for building a table UI, since I've noticed performance issues when handling larger datasets.

 could be used to create a custom table, but so far I haven’t had any success.

Each time I insert my code (thanks to chatgpt) into the 

 object, the result is just a blank white canvas — no visible grid, rows, or columns.

Has anyone encountered this before or knows what might be causing it? Here's an example of my code. Thanks in advance for any help!

autowatch = 1;

var rows = 100;
var cols = 10;
var rowHeight = 20;
var colWidth = 80;
var data = [];

for (var r = 0; r < rows; r++) {
    var row = [];
    for (var c = 0; c < cols; c++) {
        row.push("R" + r + "C" + c);
    }
    data.push(row);
}

function paint() {
    with (sketch) {
        glclearcolor(1, 1, 1, 1);
        glclear();

        var visibleRows = Math.floor(box.rect[3] / rowHeight);

        for (var r = 0; r < visibleRows; r++) {
            var dataRow = r;
            if (dataRow >= rows) break;

            for (var c = 0; c < cols; c++) {
                var x = c * colWidth;
                var y = r * rowHeight;

                moveto(x + 5, y + 15);
                textcolor(0, 0, 0, 1);
                text(data[dataRow][c]);
            }
        }

        stroke();
    }
    refresh();
}

I am currently working on a project that involves some old fashioned gaming joysticks as audio controllers. Right now, I am trying to integrate the SPAT tools developed at IRCAM to be able to work with some more advanced spatialisation techniques. But I am a bit stuck with writing a patch that is able to translate X Y values generated by the joysticks to a azimuth and distance values I can then feed into the SPAT panning tools.

I managed to get the Azimuth values, but I cannot figure out how to get the distance values and another problem is that I cannot get the mapping muttons (to map to SPAT panning) to work properly, they behave very strangely and I don't really know why, because I don't fully understand the magic behind this little bpatcher I'm always taking from the LFO tool.

I have looked into poltocar, but there I cannot get the distance value. Point of reference for the distance should be the center. 

Maybe someone here knows how to achieve this?

Every time I try to recall a preset with pattrstorage in a patch I'm working on, I'm keep getting stack overflow errors related to seemingly random objects. First it was with a sprintf object. I got rid of it. Now, the error message directs me to a message object elsewhere in the patch. Can somebody help me figure out why this is happening? Better yet, if someone can tell me the best way of creating a save/recall patch for my application. I'm trying to create a save/recall from 1 to 55, corresponding to the scene number from an Ableton session (I'm using live.observer to feed this patch over UPD receive with the active scene number in an Ableton session). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I want to draw a point of intersection using the measure of their unit measure. This form will help a person to see a level of different time measure and hieght of sound. This short show of table will be repeated for a dozen of samples. 

And if possible, edit the lyrics of that song. It's meant to show the up and down to a learner.

I tried the multislider object, but the x axis is alway fixed. I appreciated any suggestion to solve the issue.

The pair "x & y" data I use looks like this: "32 6 184 6 12 5 40 4 12 5 105 6 16 6 73 6 44 0 45 5 104 6 12 7 65 8 12 7 128 7 12 8 12 7 74 6 47 0"

I’m looking for a wireless accelerometer that can send data directly to Max/MSP 

without needing an Arduino or other microcontroller in between

. Ideally, it should be simple to set up and communicate with Max — maybe via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or OSC.

Does anyone know of any such devices currently available? Any recommendations or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Just wanted to share an issue I ran into recently with Max not launching, in case it helps someone else out there.

I’m running Max 9.0.5 on macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 (Apple Silicon), and things were working totally fine until one day the application just stopped launching. It would open, hang, and never respond. I’d get the beachball, and eventually I had to force-quit. No error message, no crash popup — just a frozen Max.

 my annual Max subscription renewed. I noticed that Max asked to be reauthorised, but I wasn’t able to complete the process due to network access issues. After I closed the app, I couldn’t get it to run again. It would just hang on launch every time after that.

I went through pretty much everything you’d expect. I deleted preferences, removed all third-party externals and packages, tried launching Max from a new user account, reinstalled multiple versions of Max (both older and newer), even reinstalled macOS — all while preserving my files — but nothing worked. It felt like the app was cursed.

Eventually I took a look at the macOS crash logs and noticed that Max was getting stuck during startup on a system-level call related to network sockets. The process was basically sitting idle, waiting on a response that never came. One line stood out:

Launchd throttled processes: com.paceap.eden.licensed

That pointed me to iLok/PACE software — which I hadn’t really thought about, since I wasn’t actively using any iLok licenses. Still, something in Max (or one of its dependencies) clearly was.

So I fully uninstalled iLok and PACE from my system. There’s an uninstaller app if you have it, or you can manually remove the components from /Library/LaunchDaemons, /Library/Application Support, and /Applications. Then I rebooted, reinstalled the latest version of iLok License Manager from the iLok website, rebooted again, and tried launching Max.

And it worked. No more hanging, and I was finally able to reauthorise the app.

So if Max suddenly stops launching for you — especially around the time of a subscription renewal — it might be worth checking your iLok installation. Even if you don’t think you’re using it. Reinstalling it cleanly fixed everything for me.

Hope this helps someone avoid the days of frustration I went through.
