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...

I was rebuilding one of my old projects and couldn't find a-chaos library binaries for 64-bit Max. So i've recompiled that and here are the links:

Many thanks for the authors of the original code - André Sier, also Richard Dudas and others (see the original source code)

Please let me know about bugs or any errors. Didn't have time to write config for windows build - PRs are welcome

**My goal:** Load this MP3 file into a `[buffer~]` so I can play it back.

**What I've tried:**

1. **Direct URL to buffer~** - Doesn't work, the URLs have CORS/403 protection
2. **Node for Max with http/https modules** - Gets HTTP 403 errors from the server
3. **curl/wget via shell** - Also blocked with 403
4. **yt-dlp** - Permission and dependency issues

**My current setup:**

This works for local files but not for remote HTTPS URLs from 

Should I be using a different approach entirely? Any examples would be greatly appreciated!

Hey I just wrote a patch that dumps a dict in max format, including any nested data. So if you are like me and just want to get everything out of any dict to max at once here is a solution in pure max without js.

Just send the patcher your dictionary name and it spits out the entire dictionary with nested data and arrays using max syntax.
