[c74] Max stops recognizing Live objects

charles_2 · Post by **charles_2** » Thu Oct 01, 2009 5:05 am

I've run into this problem a few times but have yet to come up with a repro case. Max4Live will sometimes stop recognizing the M4L-specific objects. At first I thought this must be user error like having Max open before Live, or opening Max without Live, or something, but I just ran into it again:

1. I opened Live and added a new Max MIDI device, a rack, and a StepSeq in the rack.
2. I edited the Max device, opening M4L.
3. I started working with the live.path object, no problems.
4. I switched to the Finder to open the m4l_live_object_model.maxref.xml page in Max
5. After sending several messages to live.path, I added a live.object, which Max did not recognize.

At no point did I switch back to Live, or close either Live or Max. I did switch to the Finder to open the m4l_live_object_model.maxref.xml page, so it's possible that caused Max to lose track of live.object somehow. I'll experiment further.

I've also seen this a couple of times - the parser doesn't recognize the live objects. There is no completion on the name, and no inlets and outlets.

Also cannot repro.

I was unable to repro by opening the LOM doc from the Finder again, so that doesn't seem to be the source of the problem.

We are unable to reproduce this. Is this still a problem, or has it been dealt with? We've made some changes to the object list, and are hoping that solved the problem.

Any feedback?

Don't think that I have seen it for quite a while.

I was able to repro tonight:

1. opened Live, added a generic Max MIDI Effect, opened it for editing (oddly, this generates two "cycle~: No such object" errors in the Max window).

2. Checked the following objects: live.path, live.param~, live.observer, live.object, live.remote~. All of them were recognized.

3. Closed Max, closed Live.

4. Re-opened Live, added a generic Max MIDI Device, opened it for editing

5. Opened the m4l_live_object_model.maxref.xml document into Max from the Finder.

6. Cmd-F to search, searched for "this_device".

7. Cmd-F again - the search field is highlighted, but typing is not allowed.*

8. Closed the Live Object Model window.

9. Tried to create each of the same objects (live.path, live.param~, live.observer, live.object, live.remote~); all of them failed.

*(You have to click the "Done" button, which shouldn't be the case, but I just closed the window.)
