I've been working on a set of Max for Live devices that rely heavily on JavaScript. Recently, I've been having some issues where the adding the devices to an empty Live set will instantly crash Live. Sometimes, Live will display an error that says "A serious program error has occurred. Live will shut down after this message box is closed." In other cases, Live just abruptly quits.

After doing some bisection testing, I found that the crashes were specifically being triggered by jit.gl.texture objects receiving bangs on load. Opening the Ableton crash dumps in WinDbg revealed that the last instruction preceding the crash was always jitlib!jit_handle_size_set . This led me on a bit of a wild goose chase trying to figure out if the issue had to do with initialization order, GL context creation, etc.

I noticed the problem would persist for a while, including across rebooting my computer, and then it would seemingly "fix itself," which led me to suspect that it was being caused by a file somewhere on disk rather than anything stored in memory.

I thought that the issue was perhaps being caused by the Max's database files for Live (at AppData\Roaming\Cycling '74\Max 8\Database or AppData\Roaming\Cycling '74\Max 9\Database, depending on your Max version). Deleting the files in these folders seemed to fix the issue, but now it's cropped up again. I initially posted this when I thought I had a working solution in case it was helpful to anyone else, but now I think I'm just going to submit a bug report to C74 support.

In  my AudioTest.maxpat patch i want start a sound sample (sound001.wav in ResistorNoise.maxpat subpatch) randomly a short while after each other. 

AudioTest.maxpat

ResistorNoise.maxpat

Because of the reason that each started sound can be oveclapped by another sound i use the poly~ object. Inside the poly patch NoisePoly.maxpat object I have used the line~ object to avoid clipping noise while playback the sample(s). But when i start the Patch there is still some clipping noise hearable. 

NoisePoly.maxpat

Maybe someone can give me a hint how to avoid these clipping noise..

I'm working on a max patch that is going to be projected for a live performance and I want a way to hide window's file menu (the one with file, edit, etc.) and above it the name of the patch with the max logo, since it would be kind of distracting. So far I can't find anything in either windows settings or max. I've had a play around with the menubar object but my understanding is that can only edit the bar and doesn't have the power to hide it all together? I've also been looking at ways to 'force full-screen' max but it doesn't seem receptive to this either. I wondered if anyone who has had experience using Max during live performance might know any way to do this?

 (for clarity: I'm working in Max 8, and I know about CTRL-8, and am not talking about Max's native taskbar; I already have that hidden.)

If anyone has any leads, please let me know!

Hello everyone, i'm having a problem using jit.gl.multiple. I'll explain it.

Take a jit.gl.gridshape bound to a jit.gl.multiple (through left jit.gl.multiple outlet):

jit.gl.multiple @blend_enable appears to be useless, i can't see any variations changing it. 

Case 4. shows that is possible to work with both light and alpha channel activated. The problem is that I want to change A channel with jit.gl.multiple and not with jit.gl.gridshape while having light_enable 1. If I could modify alpha channel with jit.gl.multiple while light_enable is 1, it would give me more possibility to change it individually on each copy made with jit.gl.multiple, unless to do it globally. I can't figure out how to do it. I hope someone can help me.

Similar to a previous thread: I was unable to do RNBO work because max suddenly refused to edit, create or open RNBO.

The console error was "Could not connect to RNBO buildserver" and several other errors including "Unable to get gRPC URI and WebSocket port from codegen server". After a day of frustration investigating network, firewalls, packet captures etc, I tried repair and reinstall, which didn't fix the issue. 

Then I deleted (Username)/AppData/Roaming/Cycling '74

This fixed the problem (so far!).  As detailed earlier by NUMB_CHANNELS in the thread 

https://cycling74.com/forums/rnbo-130-refuses-to-start

I hadn't had any crashes or issues or software updates, so I don't know how anything got corrupted in the Cycling '74 files. 

I hope this will help others who run into the issue.

I can't get coll to store or recall anything in my normal patch or even in the .maxhelp for coll. I'm working on 9.07 on mac ARM. It seems like I can't actually have the coll open, if I do nothing happens.

Are there any bugs or similar I should know about or am I just doomed?

I have a problem. In an Ableton Live set I am working on I did at some point make a max for live patch with ; max maxwindow in it to open the console window to check a few things while i was working.

This worked great, but I am done with the console window now, but even if I close it everytime something is printet to the max window (like a number being out of range, or udpreceive is binding to port etc.) the window pops up again! In the middle of the screen. Close it, same thing happens every message. I am not triggering any ;max maxwindow messages, and if i open the patches in another liveset I don't have the problem.

Is there a way to deactivate the max window again in this liveset?

Resolved: Turns out Granulator 2 was the problem.

Fairly new Max user here, mostly learning from books and online, lots of great resources but getting really stuck with the poly~ object. Was trying to build a polyphonic sampler that can play sampled notes from a midi keyboard with polyphony, trying to make something like the Structure free sampler in Pro tools. Had to go back to the absolute basics again so built a very simple poly synth with triangle, cycle and adsr inside the poly. Already running into issues, stuck notes, clicks, adsr not working, no attack time etc etc. I must be missing something quite basic... Attaching two screenshots of my patch, outside and inside the poly. Grateful for any guidance...
