in a m4l device I have function in a bpatcher. When trying to set the curve with alt drag nothing happens. The same function without bpatcher works fine. When opening in Max it gets stranger, alt drag over function opens the function help file.

Max has always been stable on my machine but recently it started crashing. I’ve updated Max to 9.1.4 about 2 weeks ago and while I’m not saying the update is the reason but it does line up with when this started happening.

It could very well be my machine, I am running an MacBook Pro M1, 2020 with Tahoe 26.4.1 that is starting to show some signs of aging but again, it has been running Max dependably well.

I’m wondering if anyone has experienced this recently too before I run out and buy a new computer.

I am using a usb microscope with options for manual exposure and manual white balance. On windows I am able to control those parameters in jit.grab, on mac not.

I don´t really know when this feature was removed, but it would be very handy to have it back.

I recently (as of the day of posting this) am getting an error that has seemingly rendered the gen codebox basically useless.  It seems gen can no longer run a codebox's code if I at all use any explicit reference to inputs (in, in1, in2, etc...), which basically means I can no longer use codeboxes at all that deal with any signal inputs . I should also note that I obtain this error both in the gen.codebox~ object outside of the gen environment, as well as with codeboxes within a dedicated gen~ subpatch. There's more to this error that I will get into, but first here's some simple example code I've written:

out1 = some_function(in1); // apply the function directly to explicitly stated input will give error

out2 = some_function(x); // also gives error when using a transitive variable as the input

So the above code would have in all of my previous work in gen, and to my current understanding, be syntactically correct and compilable. In fact, when I write this code, and allow it to compile in real-time it appears that there is no error initially. It is only when I connect actual signal sources to the input(s) of the gen codebox (if this is a gen.codebox~ object in the top-level max/msp environment) or to a gen~ object containing this codebox that produces this following error in the max console:

gen~: 2692:28:use of undeclared identifier 'in1'

Which I'm very perplexed by considering "in", "in1", etc... have always referred to a codebox's inputs. As you can imagine, this is quite frustrating considering the majority of my work in gen involves the use of the codebox, and this has rendered basically all of my max patches and max4live objects that use gen codeboxes to be unusable,  so any insight into this issue would be greatly appreciated!

im finally wanting to start making m4l devices on my m1 mac using live 11 suite. the bundled version of max is still on 8.5 so im trying to have live use the standalone version of the app, which is the most recent max version. so yeah i specified that version of max in live settings like ur supposed to, restarted live, but now i get the max devices say the selected max app couldnt be loaded, and clicking learn more basically tells me the only reason for this error occurs when installing live for the first time but thats not my case cuz ive had live on this mac for years.

I can't get coll to store or recall anything in my normal patch or even in the .maxhelp for coll. I'm working on 9.07 on mac ARM. It seems like I can't actually have the coll open, if I do nothing happens.

Are there any bugs or similar I should know about or am I just doomed?

I've been struggling to debug this synth I've been patching together; it is randomly, erratically refusing to work.

It produces a loud, monophonic tone which is completely contrary to my set goals for now.

I have a project, with a main max patcher. This patcher contains a gen patcher [gen~ @gen maingen.gendsp] that's saved in the project directory, this maingen.dsp patcher contains yet another gen patcher [gen @gen subgen.gendsp], also saved in the project directory.

Now when I open the subgen patcher and save it after an edit, Max crashes.

I can't reproduce the issue in a project where i start form scratch, so it's probably related to the specific project, but i've got no idea what is wrong.

Any way to get this to work, what to check?

Fairly new Max user here, mostly learning from books and online, lots of great resources but getting really stuck with the poly~ object. Was trying to build a polyphonic sampler that can play sampled notes from a midi keyboard with polyphony, trying to make something like the Structure free sampler in Pro tools. Had to go back to the absolute basics again so built a very simple poly synth with triangle, cycle and adsr inside the poly. Already running into issues, stuck notes, clicks, adsr not working, no attack time etc etc. I must be missing something quite basic... Attaching two screenshots of my patch, outside and inside the poly. Grateful for any guidance...
