In the [coll] help is stated that a 'bang' is supposed to "output current entry". In practice the bang outputs the entry and cycles to the next entry, making it functionally the same as the 'next' message. I get this unexpected behavior in Max 8 and Max 9. I've attached the [coll] help example from the 'queries' tab just in case.

Does anyone know why 'bang' goes to the next entry instead of the documented and expected behavior: "bang to output current entry"?

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.

I think I discoverd a serious bug where the frequency shifter outputs audio without any input 

-Route saw into live gain~ ( let's call this gain A )   into ezdac~ 

-Route ( same ) saw~ into freqshift~  and create a new livegain~ ( let's call this one B ) 

-Route freqshift into livegain~ "B"  into ezdac~ 

-Enable both live gain mixers and now disconnect saw~ from freqshift~ ( while audio is running )  and also mute livegain 'A' (  dry saw~ ) .

Result : freqshift~  still outputs a signal , and what 's even more weird , altering the frequency of the saw~  is reflected in  the output of freqshift ( while gain A is totally muted )

There is some kind of invisble connection and it sounds pretty horrible .

Anyone experiencing latency issues with the metro object? It's been very imprecise on my end.

I've been trying to build a metronome in which I can control a delay for each onset, but for some reason even when I set all delays to 0, the output is a bit laggy. Here's a screenshot:

So I wanted to work on a RNBO project but Max caused a timeout and after several minutes I eventually got an error message; buildserver failed to start. At first I blamed the fact that my installation is heavily customized (the program folder is even located in \program files\Ableton\Max 8) so I figured I'd do a full clean sweep.

I deinstalled Max, moved all config files out of the way (in %appdata%\Cycling '74), moved the default projects folder out of the way and then re-installed Max. At this stage RNBO works as expected again but I haven't even authorized Max yet, all default settings.

Yet the moment I upgrade the RNBO package to 1.3.0 I'm met with errors again, which I've attached, it times out and that's the end of that.

Considering the fact that everything is using default settings, and that RNBO works before the upgrade I can't help wonder if I'm hit with a bug of some sort?
