I'm running Max 8.3.1 on a Windows 10 computer, which Miraweb 1.2.6 works with it until I updated both today to Max 8.3.2 and Miraweb 1.2.7. 

The returned websocket connection info was websocket connection available at: http://none:-1

I have Bonjour Printer Services installed.

Same problem here. Have anyone a solution or clue to fix it?

Downgrading Miraweb to the previous version solves the problem. The Max version has no effect, it seems.

Thank you both, it does look like this is an issue specifically with 1.2.7 on Windows. We're working on this, and for now I'd recommend using 1.2.6 in the meantime. 

Hey, it is not possible to downgrad to 1,2,6 the server comes with an error, have tryed 1.2.5 and 1.2.6.
I just can-t get it to work on windows.

Hi Henry, can you send a report to support@cycling74.com describing how you are attempting to downgrade to 1.2.6 and where the error shows? 

Just wanted to jump in and say that based on the websocket connection info you provided, it seems like there might be a problem with the connection itself. Have you tried restarting your computer and checking if the issue persists? Sometimes a simple reboot can do wonders! Another alternative you might consider is upgrading your Windows 10 operating system. If you decide to update your system, it's important to ensure that you're obtaining a legitimate cheap windows 10 key from a trusted and reliable source. This will guarantee high-quality performance and the correct operation of all your programs.

This issue has not been solved as of December 2023, has it?

Any idea how to downgrade? Thank you so much!

LE: It seems all I had to do was to uninstall v1.2.7 for the versions options to appear.

I’m running RNBO on a Raspberry Pi 4 and trying to get clean audio output through the headphone jack. I’ve followed the setup guide, and I can now load patches through the RNBO Runner Panel in the browser.

However, when I run a simple sine wave patch from RNBO, the output sounds aliasy and distorted — as if the sample rate is incorrect or the waveform is being bitcrushed. However, other system audio (like 

) sounds perfectly clean. I've triple checked the export bit rate, sample rate, bit depth, within the export settings of RNBO and all seems correct.

Weirdly if I launch JACK manually via terminal with:

jackd -R -dalsa -dhw:1 -r44100 -p1024 -n3

...the sine wave sounds cleaner (though still slightly imperfect), but then I lose control from the RNBO Runner Panel.

Any idea what might be going on? How can I get clean output from RNBO?

Hello! Lately I used a stacking looper patch (from Andrew Robinson's video) to add an extension to it. Techically I want the loop's buffer size to be calculated via note values and tempo and I've pretty much created an algorithm that works pretty well. The only problem remaining is that the buffer size will reset every time the counter sends an output, therefore the recording that follows after the latest output will be the only thing saved as the buffer's  content. Is there a way to send the counter's final message result after the recording? Or should I use a different object than counter? My thoughts so far would be that I need to stop the counter from sending a message while the recording is on, and then when the recording goes off then the counter's final message will then be sent and calculated for the final buffer size. It'd be very helpful to open the patch since everything is pretty complicated! Thank you!

I don't think this behavior is specific to the Convolution Reverb device, but here is the repro:

In my opinion, this is a major issue. This means that if the path of an IR file changes, a project using it may suddenly sound completely different, and the user won't be able to tell why. This happened to me when changing PC and I can no longer make some old projects sound like the released version as I don't remember which IRs from my huge library were used.

I believe Ableton should be able to report it like any other missing audio assets.

Trying to synchronize Max timing to external application. The [Transport] object seems the right one. However I get no input data when clock source is MTC or external. The reference of the Transport object is not very helpful, neither the help file. Help file from the Link Package looks better, at least queries for possible clock sources. When using Ableton Link, the sync works. MTC does not. Ableton Link is useless though, since it gives no position information. I tested my MTC sync signal with other applications it works fine. Would one have any hints for me? Thanks :)

Trying to synchronize Max timing to external application. The [Transport] object seems the right one. 

transport-mtc-synchronization

ableton live in not MTC sync capable.
It's transport is even not capable of outputing real time progress on tempo or time signature changes as pro DAWs do.


Thanks! I do not want to use Ableton Live though ;) I use Bitwig, Reaper and Logic. And I can see in midi monitor or in the other applications that e.g. Bitwig sends correct MTC and sync works fine with Reaper or VidPlayMTC. The problem is the MTC just somehow does not show up in the [transport] object in Max. Of course I set clock source to MTC, no errors in the log . Also, the [midiin] object shows some data coming in, but I am not really hot to make my own [transport] object since one exists already and should actually work fine :D 
OT: Quite sad that Rewire has been killed :(  


Unfortunately Max doesn't support MTC synchronization.
So you'd need to make your own patches.
It's quite tricky but well described in Peter Elsea's tutorials.
http://peterelsea.com/maxtutorials.html


Nice website, thanks! Still, I am little confused, because the [transport] object itself lists MTC as a valid clock source, look in the console: 

Strange, but for me it's not in the list (Max 7).

For me neither (Max8.5.1, 8.1.11, 8.3.3)!

Oh I see. I just must have sent manually the message 'clocksource mtc' to the transport in some other patch. It results in no error in the console an 'mtc' appears in the list :D   You can just send there anything you like with no error and it appears as an option :D


So seems I need to study some of the MIDI format quirks :D

MTC and transport are different things anyway.
MTC is real time progress, transport is bar, beat, ticks based,
and can only be resynced using ticks message which is tempo dependent.

Most DAWs can send midi clock and song position pointer.
Which is usable in max and can also be used to run transport,
even that I prefer non transport sync which is tighter.




Thanks! Yes, I guess I should be more specific in my question. I got unnecessary fixed on MTC term. 
My DAWs send SPP as well. So the proper question would be:
 Is there actually any ready to use, universal and reliable sync option for Max to a DAW?
 I could not find anything on the forum or on the internet in general. Probably I will end up  studying the inside of MIDI and patching something. But if someone knows about existing object please let me know. Actually I wonder it is not some of existing max core objects. I can't imagine syncing Max to a DAW is some exotic need ;)


what exactly do you wish to sync ?
If it is midi only beat clock with spp is perfectly ok.
If you want to sync - resync long audio & video playback,
then things become more complicated.

here is patch using transport, non-transport and sync~ based
examples

I prefer non transport, plain sync because it does not need to calculate tempo



Thank you so much SOURCE AUDIO! Your examples help a lot already :) 
Probably a good  point too, to define the purpose first. Though I have no particular target at the moment. I am trying to get Max synced to control generative video and audio processes, while keeping the global time management and synths in the DAW.  I am sure often just a single MIDI Note/CC or OSC message from the DAW would be sufficient. Somehow I hoped there is some general mechanism to sync things and then wanted to experiment with the possibilities. But I think what you said and gave me in examples is enough to get me going :) Thanks again!
PS. If I remember it right, Rewire was that kind of 'ready' thing. Actually curious why it looks dead now.

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"?
