Can someone provide some insight into how Pattr saves state in a standalone?

I would like to create a standalone that saves state when the patch closes and recalls that state the next time the patch is opened.  

When buildling the patch, I noticed, that in order for pattr to save it's current state you need to save the patch.  If I save the patch, the next time I open it, pattr will restore to the state it was in when I saved it.  This makes sense.  I can see the values are actually written and saved into the patch JSON.

But how does this work in a standalone?  The user cannot save the patch.  And I wouldn't want them to have to anyway.  

So how does pattr persist state between sessions in a standalone?  So far, what i've observed is it doesn't.  When I launch the patch, pattr restores the state that was saved when I created the standalone. Even after I've made changes to that state and closed the standalone.

 I'm not actually using pattr objects in my use case, I'm using an SDK External with a "value" attribute.  But according to my reading, this is handled using the same system as pattr, so the question should still apply.

Greetings,

I'm working (in Max 9) with a patch, that has externals that can't be opened due to "incorrect architecture".  I read that externals that were programmed in 32-bit Version or Intel-chips cant be opened by the Macs with "M-Chips"...

So I downloaded Max 6 Runtime Version but I still can't get the patch to work correct.

The Max 6 Version can't be installed, I think it also has something to do with 32bit and 64bit?

I'm on a Mac (M3, Sequoia Version 15.4.1)

How can I get the patch and the externals to work?

Do I have to recompile the externals and if so, how do I do that?

How do I even get the externals into the "search patch" of Max 6 Runtime?

I can't contact the developers, if thats what you wanted to answer:)

I'm going through the Kadenze course and I'm stuck on some of the coursework for session 4 which is about crossfading (linear interpolation between two scales) and I just can't get the patch to work. 

When I use the slider to move between A and B the range seems to effective for a few pixels on the left side and then it starts spitting out all kinds of pitches for most of the travel to the right. I'm sure there's probably something really simple that isn't checked or a patch that's in the wrong place but I can't figure it out. Can someone please help!? It would be awesome for someone to explain this to me as I really want to learn how to use Max properly.

Is there any way how can I implement a double click to reset a curve in a function object? 

The object is obviously aware of where the mouse is hovering in the function but since the curve object doesn't output these values I struggle to figure out how to "hack" the function object to force it to reset a selected curve on double click. 

The function object needs some UX love and such controls should be implemented by default IMO but it is what it is so here I am asking.

If this is not possible, does anyone know about a better function object (an external etc.)?

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"

), which works well for me with a single camera.

However, I'm running into an issue when trying to use multiple webcams of the same model. I have three identical USB cameras, but on my Mac, the dropdown menu in the patch can’t distinguish between them — it only recognizes one. As you can see in the screenshot it shows the two webcams, but both with the same name. It can't differentiate. When using jit.grab

When using jit.grab, Max is able to detect three of the cameras separately (they appear with different @inuqueid s), so the Mac does distinguish them.

Any workaround, patch modification, or pointer would be hugely appreciated!

How do I make a device that calculates an eighth of a beat based on the global tempo, and then have another device apply a way of adjusting that value with a live dial, and finally implement it into a device that delays an incoming audio signal by the value calculated from the tempo and adjusted via the live dial!
