We are happy to announce the release of Max 9.1.3 and RNBO 1.4.3.

The Max 9.1.3 release brings new Parameter visibility options, Max for Live mapping overlay / automation dots to jspainter, and bug fixes for Jitter, ABL objects, Max for Live on Push 3 Standalone, and more. Take a look at the change log below or on the Max 9.1.3 release page.

The RNBO 1.4.3 release focuses on usability, portability and customization of the RNBO Runner and Web Interface. Improvements include the import and export of graphs / patchers, loading of arbitrary binary data (fe .mid, .scl, .kbm, .bmp), expanded OSC mapping options to internals of the RNBO runner /rnbo/ namespace, the ability to MIDI map inports, Runner Image support for the new Raspberry Pi Imager 2.0.0, and much more.

Additionally, we’ve added some new objects (midiflush, kbm.data, scl.data), expanded data loading capabilities, made some improvements to the Target Export Sidebar (load time, potential crashes, new options), and fixed a handful of long standing bugs.

For the complete change log, take a look at the list below, or on the RNBO 1.4.3 release page.

RNBO 1.4.3 is included in the Max 9.1.3 release, but can alternatively be updated via the Max Package Manager for older Max 9 installs.
