I was just trying to figure out why MOTU MX4 was not getting poly touch data when hosted in Live.

Crazy. What decade is it?

I mean at least make it an option in midi pref to filter or not.

[edit] Ok, cycling is on it. Thanks guys!!

Hey guys, I'm one of the developers of SevenUpLive for the Monome. Some users were reporting problems on the monome forum after upgrading to 5.1.1.

Personally I was using Live 8.1.1 and MAX 5.1.0 which works perfectly. I just tried ...

Hey guys...this functionality was working in the few betas before release. We had it working great in SevenUpLive. Somehow it is now broken.

I went back and tried the simple patch above and verified that "pattr" with "parameter mode enable" set is not saving the state of the text object with the ...

The problem is that some of the objects especially regarding the LOM only work inside of Live. I find myself actually connecting with the debugger more when the components are running in Live then when they are open in MAX.

The other option is just leave it the way it is, but fix the crash, so if ...

Here are the possible options for debugging

max.jvm.option -Xdebug
max.jvm.option -Xnoagent
max.jvm.option -Djava.compiler=NONE
max.jvm.option -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket\,address=8074\,server=y\,suspend=n

My understanding which may not be correct is that there is always one active jvm spawned ...

If I save device-presets for my device that contains bpatchers, the patches inside my bpatchers are not loaded when I hot-swap a device preset. Regular subpatchers are loaded properly.

To fix this I must embed the patcher in the bpatcher.

It's not a problem, but I'm wondering if this is the ...

[NOT A BUG]
Ok, I'm an idiot. There were multiple nested bpatchers and the inner one was NOT set to "Open in presentation", even though I thought that I had set them all properly. After I did that and save the patch, I'm seeing presentation mode properly.

I believe you can navigate from this_device to canonical_parent, then ask for the total number of devices. I do this in the patch I posted, but instead of asking for the number of devices, I ask for device 1.

"path this_device canonical_parent devices 1"

that gets me the second device in my tracks ...

That sounds like a pretty viable explanation. I must admit that I find the mxj lifecycle a bit confusing in M4L. Not having an understanding of who is a actually spawning the JVM, I would be happy if JVMs running in Live did not use debug options and JVMs running in MAX did. Or have a separate ...

Yes I did go into every patcher inspector and change to "Open in presentation mode". It doesn't seem to help.

I posted an example patch in the bugs forum as well.

Here are some screen captures

For some reason when I build bpatchers with the beta MAX 5.1.0a1 (40387)

The UI displayed in the bpatchers is in patcher mode, not presentation mode. I cannot get the UI to display properly not matter what I do.
I filed a bug but I wondered if anyone else has seen this issue and especially if there ...

I just created a patch that might help because I had a similar problem.

This patch takes as input the index of the parameter on the next device to the right in the chain that you want to automate. Just use the patch in the device that is to the left of the object you are trying to automate.

It ...

Here's a little helpful patch I created to play with paths when searching for params on devices

Is there a way from your M4L device to simply ask for your own id as in "this_device" or live.path?

[edit] I figured it out I think

sending live.path a getchildren message in you M4L device lists this_device as a child so you can also send it "path this_device"

sorry for the noise...just ...

Oh bummer, I need to get access to rack subdevices as well.

Well at least I won't spend more time trying to figure out how to get to them.

I can reorganize my set though to workaround it.
