Sended parameter resets itself on "save"

[Zettt]

Hi,

I was asking this question over at the C74 forum as well. Whenever I hit save in my Max for Live patch some parameters reset themself to 100, which is a bit annoying.
I found out that it seems to be a Max for Live problem only. When I copy>paste my patch, or just the affected parts of it, to a new Max patch the error won't happen.

Here's the original discussion.

And here's my patch (just the affected bits...)

Code: Select all

And last but not least the patch as a zip file.

Thanks in advance.

I can confirm this behavior and have seen something similar with my patches, also without send/receive.

The Max editor in Live seems to have an intermediate state when saving a patch, where objects are initialized with the low value of their range.
Only when closing the patch, the values are overwritten by the stored values from the Live set.
(You can verify this by dragging your number boxes into the visible area.)

I guess this behavior is required for technical reasons.

[Zettt]

I don't believe this can be a desired behaviour. And I can't think of a technical reason why this should be the case. Do you think it might help sending a bug report to C74?

[broc]

Yes, from the users view it's certainly unwanted behavior and as such worth to discuss with C74 support.

[pukunui]

I can't reproduce this.

Try sending it in to support, maybe Ben can

Alright. Thanks, guys.
