I tried to build this envelope generator as a replica of the Eurorack MiniPEG module. The signal is driven by a main phasor that controls the envelope length, and there’s the option to use the envelope either in loop mode or as a single shot.

The envelope shape is based on window envelope functions from the GO book by Wakefield and Taylor

, which approximate quite closely the shapes available in the original project. The issue is that for some parameter values (i.e., certain shapes), in one-shot mode, if I don’t receive any trigger I don’t get 0 at the output.

By design this happens for shape parameter ranges around [0, ~0.15] and [~0.5, ~0.8].

I suspect the problem is caused by the shaping function 

. I tried other functions, but none of them work as well as this one in terms of matching the desired shapes. Does anyone have an idea how this could be fixed?

I'm actually trying to export periodically some  data stored in a dictionary , so I'm using the write or export message to the dict object specifying the file name. This is crucial for me because I need to automate the process, and it wouldn't be feasible to have the dialog window opened.

nothing happens, even if I've got from the last outlet the successful flag (

The only way I'm successfully saving the data is when using the same commands without specifying the file name or path.

Hey there, I'm a Max for Live beginner, and I have a strange issue that I can't really understand.

Inside my patch, I have a jweb object that loads the .html file contained in the project itself via

Now, the problem I’m having is that when I load the .amxd on my second laptop, the HTML file doesn’t load. After a few tests, I know for sure that there’s a path issue and the patch can’t find the HTML file.

What’s odd, though, is that as soon as I unfreeze the device, the files are copied:

~/Documents/Max 9/Max for Live Device/...

If I then reload the .axmd, or click on the message box that loads the .html, it works as expected.

Is there a way to fix this issue so I can distribute the .axmd without asking the end user to unfreeze the device to make it work?

I'm mapping an endless MIDI controller onto a

It's really easy to see: just create a dial and a print. 

 Map a MIDI controller sending delta values and turn the button at constant speed (lots of 1s if increasing). You'll see every single value on the console. Now Save. And the output only happens when you change the speed of the dial. 

Have you come across this? Any explanation?

PS. I know there are workarounds, I just want to know what I'm missing in this specific situation

PPS. This happens with other objects as well (int, float, dial...)

I have a Max patch that used to run flawlessly. It has two pattrstorage. Startup reads the two files. Saving uses "writexml". Haven’t used this patch for a while, I guess 3 or 4 minor Max upgrades. 

"pattrstorage • incompatible file type"

The message went away for a couple of hours, now it is back again.

2. When the patch wants to save the pattrstorage contents after clicking the respective button, the save dialog appears. This should not happen. Sometimes only once (for both saving actions), sometimes for both actions. This behavior went away for a couple of hours, now it is back again.

I saved and closed the patch several times.

What could be the cause for this change in behavior, could it be related to some of the recent Max updates?

Does anyone have experience with Arduino Uno and could help me modify this M4L device / patch?

https://github.com/Ableton/m4l-connection-kit/blob/main/Arduino/Arduino.amxd

The issue is that every time I unplug the Arduino from my computer and plug it back in, the Arduino forgets the mapped parameters (on the back-end), so the UI shows the mappings are still there, but when I Rescan for the device, or unplug+plug the arduino back in, and select the correct device, the mappings are unresponsive!  Meaning you have to remap the params every single time, which is tedious / makes the device unreliable for live performance.

I think it has to do with the serial initialization, but I am not entirely sure!  

Any help is deeply appreciated! I've created a controller for my partner and want the device to remember the mappings so she doesn't have to re-map all the parameters every single session / live performance. THANKS!
