Rory here. Sorry to hear you're running into these issues. Madlab: Have you sent through a Status Report through our support channel? Often frozen apps like this point to a problem with the audio driver, so it would be interesting to see if something is logged in that respect. I'd also suggest updat...

OK... I raise my hands here and admit I am a complete novice with both Arduino and M4L. I have an Arduino (I can make lights flash and a few other simple things) and I would like to learn more about M4L. I'm a noob. I've read Massimo Banzi's book (at least twice), I've read sections of the O'Reilly...

I solved it . I found out that i downloaded so much packs from the new pack manager in max7 . They were causing trouble even freezing m4l devices in Live without editing . So uninstalling them from the package manager solved the problem. I will check in next days if i keep having the trial mode err...

I wonder if my drumkit (Session - Multirod) disk overload issue is related to this...the only drumkit (that I know of so far) in the packs library that consistently lights up the red "D", even on lowered buffer settings, only device in the set etc. On an above-spec PC etc. No noticeable C...

Hi all, We have an issue, currently under investigation, with Drum Racks + quite a few Simplers resulting in more memory being used, and ultimately affecting CPU. This sounds consistent with the original post. As [jur] suggested it is related to Complex/Pro warping, and can be affected even if Warp ...

Hi All, A standalone Max license is only required if you want to use Max on it's own, without Ableton. That is creating and saving your own Max patches - all of the features that Max provides as an independent program. For Live use (loading, creating, using Max for Live devices in Ableton) there is ...

I haven't tried to update to 1.2.1 or 1.2.2 yet Anyone brave enough to let us know how that went? 8) As far as I know Replica 1.2.1 works fine, just 1.2.3 doesn't. I imagine that NI used an older compiler accidentally, and that a fix is not too difficult / far away. The Kush Audio problem is known ...

Hi all,

we have a more effective way to access the new Max 7 devices, which should be ready to go soon, but for now, we have this guide:

Hi there,

can you send your Crash Reports to support@ableton.com, and we'll run some analyses.
If you can make sure the reports contain instances where Max 7 was in use, that would be great, as Max 7 contains more accurate crash reporting.

Thanks,
rry

Thanks for the update folks. Extremely happy to hear that. I'll pass on the info Cycling 74, which will hopefully end up included in the next release of Max 7. I'm very optimistic about things now with the better logging system in place. We can trace crashes much more effectively, get them out of th...

Hi Angstrom, Seems strange, I haven't experienced anything unusually long. Is this when simply adding a device, or opening the editor? It might be worthwhile giving the Max 7 install a repair. You can do this by deleting the 'support' folder, and then running the installer again, and selecting 'repa...

Hi all, We have some news on this front regarding the recent Windows crashes . Cycling 74 have supplied us with some potential fixes. To test the fixes, the attached maxurl objects should replace the maxurl objects in the respective Max 7 folders. (Free free to rename the older versions in order to ...

Typically in this type of situation on Windows, uninstalling and subsequent re-installation of the application with issues is what I resort to. I know some people reinstall Windows with regular one year cycles or so, but I haven't done that myself. That's good advice. And failing that please do sen...

Hi Everyone, Rory here from Ableton HQ, I've been tracking this problem for some time now and hopefully I can shed some light on the situation. We are very much aware of the Windows crash, when loading a Max device into an already large project. This is known and filed in our bug backlog with top pr...

Hi All, We do not recommend updating to Yosemite just yet. Our developers are working to ensure compatibility for the time of release, but as you can see from the reports here, there are things that need to be addressed from both sides. Thanks for your understanding. https://www.ableton.com/en/artic...
