I was very excited that the new max 9 release made the native input work for my ultrastudio 4k mini.  However I've been having trouble for a while, with both native and non-native inputs (the non-native has disappeared with my upgrade to sequoia).  If I leave my patch, or even the jit.grab Blackmagic help file open for a bit it disconnects and I have to reopen the device.  This is very disruptive to my microscopy workshops (running a sony rx0 II w/4k hdmi output for live video from my microscope).  I was wondering if anyone with this device had found a workaround.  Or, worse case scenario maybe someone could recommend another device to digitize video that is more max friendly?  I do need an output for raw video to an external screen on it.  I tried an Elgato 4k device but it drops frames here and there and this is very disruptive to my application- being the trails of microscopic critters, it make little gaps in the trails.  So far the 4k ultrastudio is the only device that does not drop frames, but it has this issue of disconnecting randomly, nothing in the max console about it.  It seems to happen more when I don't click anything in my patch and just go outside to vape etc, it takes anywhere from 3-20 min and it will always disconnect.

I just installed Max 9. I copied all settings from Max 8.

In Max 9 bpatchers cannot be loaded. I presume Max can't find them on my drive.

 bpatcher: error loading patcher XXX.maxpat

Any idea what I need to change to resolve this? How can I add my search paths from Max 8?

Edit: Copying my search path file from Max 8 to Max 9 resolved the issue.

I work a lot on Max  for MIDI composition it is very inspiring when a simple program gives me expressive music. I searched a bit to get an object like "makenote" to play instruments like strings or organ. When many notes are turned on (velocity higher than 0), instead of choosing the duration at the time the notes are played, I needed be able to turn them off at a certain cue or a deliberate event. Here I focus on the polyphonic way to turn on notes. I solved the monophonic version of my program easily long ago. My patch is presented with a  small composition to illustrate my point of view. My question is, did I solve an already solved problem? 

If you have suggestions, I may use it for more intuitive composition tools. (This is the first submission of a patch I do on a forum, hope it works on some other computer)

  for CMake. Got stuck with the following error:

" RNBOProject\rnbo\src\RNBO_CoreObject.h(449,43): error C2661: 'RNBO::AudioInBufferConverter<I>::AudioInBufferConverter': no overloaded function takes 4 arguments  ". 

My main.cpp and CMakeLists.txt files are the same as in the tutorial and my patch is just  [cycle 440] -> [out~ 1] , although I've tried with multiple IO configurations.

 I am on Windows using Visual Studio Code.

In my former Fortran and Pascal days, I could define a function or procedure that had arguments defined in the declaration statement.

Is there any way to do something similar in Max?

Obviously, the simple way is to feed parameter values into a subpatcher via 

 objects, but I would like to be able to simply add values as arguments to a subpatcher object, like most Max objects do, if there is way to do it.

. The first parameter in the trigger gives the normal state of the 

 and the second gives the period the gate will change state for in ms.  So, the idea is that a 

 that is normaly open would close for 500ms and then reopen.

I'm wondering whether I could define the [gatedelay] object to accept arguments instead of discrete inputs, so that I could use objects like this:

Can subpatchers be passed arguments as opposed to using multiple inputs?

My current project is pretty huge. It already has 56 maxpat files in the project list. Some of my patches are rather large and ungainly and I have thought about breaking more of them down into smaller units. However, I'm not sure if it would make my resulting executable bigger or smaller.

My question is whether, when building an executable file, is every instance of a maxpat file added to the mxf collectable file each time it is referenced as an object in a patch or does just one copy get used for all access points.

For example, I have a snippet object in a maxpat that generates a sysex message from various parameters fed into its multiple inputs.

If I use that snippet as an object ten times in a patcher, do ten copies of my snippet file get added to the parent subpatcher at each point of use, with ten copies of the code going into the mxf file, or does only one copy of the snippet file get accessed from all ten objects in the parent, with only one copy of the code added to the mxf?

I'm learning M4L and I need your help to complete this patch.

I'm building a live performance based on a Push 3 and I want to automatically trigger a scene when a backing track clip is triggered.

The goal is to avoid the boring task to match the clip length  with the master follow action length.

I have an issue with the following patch. Only the last clip of my backing track (blue) is firing the scene "Drop". 

I suspect a loop issue that erasing the first 3 live.observer is_triggered functions.

I'm linking my live12 set et my m4l patch as well.
