I was making a project which contained the RNBO library and I instaled a 32 bit plugin to use in ableton (not related to the max project) when I opened max again my  project stopped working.

I also deleted the 32 bit plugin from my plugin folder since I saw it in a forum (

I have the data backed up on a github repository but I don't know if max can use it to bring a whole project.

As somebody who is obsessed with patches looking neat and tidy, I have often come across a problem where 

 does not appear to have the desired effect.

I have also seen a number of posts in the forum where the user is asking for help in debugging their patch. I often note that there is actually nothing wrong with their code other than the fact that the position of a 

 object relative to the objects that feed the 

 doesn't follow the usual right->left processing priority as expected, because it is normally necessary to set the 

As a demonstration, try out these three simple examples:

They essentially all do the same thing but the results are different. The aim is to create a simple list with an integer followed by a value that determines which output of the 

The lefthand example is lined up neatly as many users tend to do. However, clicking on the 1 or 2 at the top constantly sends the message through the wrong side of the gate first but clicking it again appears to get it right.

The middle example is exactly the same code but with the 

 positioned further to the left. Now the message always goes to the correct output every time.

The third example, which is lined up exactly the same as the first but now has a 

 to force the order in which the messages are processed, the messages again always go in the correct direction.

There are a lot of people who have suggested that the 

 object be redesigned such that the data goes into the left input and the selector message into the right. If this was done, it would eliminate this unexpected behaviour. However, the clever people have justified the design because of how the underlying code works in the object. I know of some people that have created their own sub-patcher snippets that deliberately swap the inputs over but it means that you have to create different snippets for every size of 

I'm wondering if a new object, for example called 

, could be added where the inputs are reversed such that users would be able to follow their desire to keep things neat and tidy without being confused by how

Has anyone had any experience with this? Recently, if Max crashes, and I get the 'reopen, report, etc. dialog box and select re-open, it does nothing.  And, if I launch Max again, it does not offer to recover the last opened patcher, although I have 'Ask' selected in the 'Recover edits after crash' option. I tried rebuilding my database, but seemed to make no difference. has anyone come across this and/or has any clues?

So I have a really weird problem with Valhalla Freqecho and VST object. Im using max 8 and windows 10 on bootcamp. I load the plugin (and I have tried a couple of different 64bit versions). It "often" doesn't work, "sometimes" if I load it again it works, all other plugins seems to work fine. If it I load a different plugin the VST object works fine, and then I load freqecho it often works, but not always, so I just have to keep reloading it and sometimes if Im lucky the VST object will work with valhalla freq echo. Any ideas how to resolve this ?

When I ran it in max 6 it works flawlessly and still does in max six on my other computer (windows 10 not bootcamp )...... with exactly the same patch...

The same happens with the vst object help file.

When using [maximum] with nodes, it would be great to know when the knob/slider isn't on any node.

But as [maximum] numbers zero the first item of a list, contrary to nodes which starts at 1, you don't know when you're not on any node.

As you can see on the patch, there is no difference between knob/slider on node 1 and out of all nodes (on no node). This is consistent, but not convenient.

Of course tricky hacks work, but why not allowing [maximum] to count from one instead of zero or to output -1  when all values are zero ?

Try this, move the knob/slider, you'll see what I mean.

I would like to ask if anyone else has experienced similar issues with Max 8.6.3:

I have [buffer~] in abstraction, several instances of which I load into the parent patcher. The name of the buffer is prefixed with "---#0" to make it local in every possible context. I pass the name of the file to be loaded into the buffer via an argument.

So, after installing Max 8.6.3 all the [buffer~]'s seems to be referring to the same ("global"?) data - in each instance, the content of the buffer is the same and changing the content [of the buffer] in one instance results in changing the content in all the others.

Has anyone encountered something similar?

The problem did not occur in earlier versions of Max. I work on MBP M2, Sonoma.

I would be grateful if anyone has any comments ;-)

but this is not fixing a focus Problem in Live 12.0.5 / Max 8.6.3 / WinOS 10.

When the focus is not at the m4l device, instead on another view of Live (like Session, Browser..), and I click a live.menu of the device, the menu pops up to then instantly close again.

Seems like the menu is receiving the click like it should be but the following focus change of Live to the device is causing dismiss of menu popup. I hope this is visible in the sreen recording. It's by the way a very annoying thing which is currently noticeable on a daily basis when working with devices that contain menus.

 nodes. According to the Max documentation, this function is expecting a bool parameter: set to 

, Live simulates pressing of Clip Launch button.

 then, it would cancel the clip launch order. But nothing happens. Anyone have an idea why? Any help would be welcome (see patch attached below).

For the curious, I’m working on a M4L patch to implement that the start of a new launched clip waits for the end of the loop of the current playing clip, whatever its length. The rest of the patch works fine, but I would like to attach this feature to the normal way of launching clips in Live (that is clicking on the small arrow at the left of the concerned clip). My idea was to catch the user action of launching clip, to cancel it and to relaunch it later at the appropriate time.

Hello everyone,

I face a problem with the “set_fire_button_state” function sent to the clip_slots nodes. According to the Max...
