It's possible that some of these aren't Max 6 related, but that's what I'm testing with, so...

Probably good to specify the test environment:

  • MBP Core i7 8G ram
  • OSX 10.6.8 running 64-bit kernel - I have seen strange behavior with this, though not necessarily with Live/Max
  • Live 8.3
  • Max 6.0.4 (52278)
  • Launchpad
  • various other MIDI gear hanging off USB hubs here and there

This error is fixed in my working versions, and will be included in the next official package.

presscafe

help goes to "Presscafe" rather than "PressCafe" (I've already made a redirect)

Say... What is the difference between "cafe" and "presscafe"?

Spent a total of about 3 hours trying to determine where that comes from over the last year....it drives me nuts. It's an artifact from the original, I think, but I haven't been able to route it out. I think its harmless. - a

Seems like editing one patch, then deleting it and adding/editing another will usually throw up something like this (although quitting Max in between seems to make it not happen):

These type of errors are what I'm mainly interested in: they reflect how the mod.js and Python cores interact in Max6. I'm currently working on b994 revs of these core scripts, so anything strange happening with connection routines or entering/exiting/saving from the editor are very noteworthy, and extrememly helpful. It is because my implementation, by necessity, is so convoluted that I've delayed moving to Max6 for so long.

This particular problem is due to the wrong initalization order, and may be due some change in the behavior of [live.this_device]. I'm hoping to finish up with current Max5 stuff tonight and switch to Max6 for testing of a project tomorrow before release, so hopefully I'll be able to catch up with what's going on.
