I have a few RNBO abstractions which use a construct like:

Which allows me to reference 'argsbuf' from codebox (which doesn't otherwise allow access to variable-named buffers, AFAIC), while also allowing the possibility of re-using the same abstraction .rnbopat file with different buffer references.

This seems to work ok generally, but in one of the more nested uses of this error and can't compile the code.

Codegen Error undefined
Multibuffer 'argsbuf' is defined more than once with differents buffer lists.

I also believe this error to be inaccurate, as I've audited all instances of multibuffer and they have the same buffer list (#1, which is always being resolved to the same buffer name/reference).

I've tried re-creating this error using the same abstractions in various implementations and can't seem to do it, so I feel a bit lost understanding what's going on.

Does anyone have some ideas or guidance about what I could try?  Thank you.

), 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!

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.)?

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!

I'm trying an idea to use the clip envelopes as a way to store presets to clips. I think that the clip automation is the way that Ableton intends for clips to start with distinct parameters, but editing them can be cumbersome.

There seem to be no LOM calls for editing clip envelopes the way that there are for clip notes.

What's the reasoning behind that? Was it that recording is the intended method to automate things?

Same issues, did you find something interesting? Thanks

I haven't been looking into it.  I went with having a single rack of parameters that are always mapped to the main controls on my setup and didn't use the clip envelopes for those.

Same here. Looking for functions to get/set/observe envelope data from clip. 
It would just be a list with x/y values, right?

I never got info on this from Cycling or Ableton.   

A small plug, if you're looking for preset stuff. I use these devices these days:
http://maxforlive.com/library/device/3895/chainactivatormidi 
http://maxforlive.com/library/device/3896/chainactivatoraudio 

 If you're looking for automation editing stuff, I'm attaching a device that was an attempt at creating a sort of a "clip automation setter" by flashing record.  I ditched the approach because it seemed way too clunky. The device still has a number of kinks to work out, (use at your own risk!) but maybe you can pull something useful from it.   

Programatic Clip Envelope Editing??

I use a lot of M4L devices in Ableton 12 (also tested newer betas) on a very powerful M4 Macbook (64GB RAM, 30% utilized) to automate a music live set. 

The problem I face is, that most of the time my m4l devices that are turned off by the ableton "device activator" (little round yellow on/off button) or a parent rack and stay off for some minutes. When turned on, they cause drastic CPU spikes (in the thousands) although in normal operation the cpu load is only at 7%. I can replicated the issue with an empty set and 32 of these devices: when I turn them off for 10 minutes and then on again, the spike happens. With 128 devices the spike already happens after 2 minutes. In both cases turning them off/on quickly has no effect on cpu.

Of course I did a lot of research. In ableton I tried different buffer sizes, tried do not activate too many devices at the very same time, etc. In Max I checked if there are loadbangs or other elements that trigger heavy stuff when the device gets turned on. Nothing changed anything. The devices are pretty big, they have about 10 ableton dials and GUI elements and I have many of them spread over the project. 

All that makes me thinking, that there must happen some kind of "unloading" process or deep sleep happening under the hood of the devices when they are off for a "while"

. Maybe some stuff gets pulled on the SSD and off the RAM? Maybe reading all that within one sample it too much? As I couldn't find anything on that, I wanted to ask you, if you can point to me some documentation or the like, or if you have any tips here? 

Computing wise I could leave all those devices on, the cpu then does not make problems. But I would like to save some resources and I would have to restructure years of work, that guarantee that only those parts are on, that I really need...
