MAX 9

[@mattkaz9604]

Looking forward to the geometry episode. I played with them last night and they seem promising but I didn't exactly undxerstand all the nuances.

[@uli3614]

I was waiting for this ❤

[@gabrielestrada6165]

this is wonderful! Can't wait for your videos on jitter! :D

[@ethanwimsett]

Amazing, nice work!

[@turtletheorytv]

have they fixed the issue that floods undo history? for example if you have a slider that controls track volume and you map it to your midi controller, Max will write an undo history step at every intermediate value instead of just the start and end (like the regular track undo/redo behavior). this has been an issue for like 15 years so i’m crossing my fingers 🤞🏼

Hi! Not sure about that, here's the changelog: cycling74.com/releases/max/9.0.0#changelog

[@GianTJ]

Awesome!! Stoked

[@animanoir]

Also, which MacBook Pro (with some M processor) would you recommend for a good usage of Max capabilities (both DSP and graphics)? Looking for the cheapest! Which one would be the minimum?

[@AmazingMaxStuff]

I guess each one would work, I'm still rocking the M1 from 2021 and am satisfied

[@jstaub1125]

I'm curious what the use case is for parameter_connect. is it just a quality-of-life feature for folks that don't want to use pattr or send/receive? or does it provide new possibilities in some contexts?

[@AmazingMaxStuff]

Quality of life! I think it's mostly to get rid of extra cables or senders, and build leaner user interfaces

[@solomonspeare1963]

i wonder if i define a function in one codebox, is it recognized in another codebox in the patch?

[@AmazingMaxStuff]

@@solomonspeare1963 don’t think so

[@animanoir]

so in a sense can we use React/Vue inside Max now?

[@AmazingMaxStuff]

I think so!

[@DD-co1zn]

Can we import models created in Blender, to effect/manipulate them in Max/Jitter ?

[@AmazingMaxStuff]

@@DD-co1zn sure! You can import a 3d object with jit.gl.model

[@DD-co1zn]

@@AmazingMaxStuff great!

[@marijncinjee3403]

awesome stuff: is JS still running on low priority scheduling? or is that also fixed?

[@AmazingMaxStuff]

@@marijncinjee3403 js is still running in low priority, by design

[@PeaceDub]

I heard it was very buggy so far, I wait much longer before update 💜

[@AmazingMaxStuff]

Can't say I've experienced many bugs, but sure whenever you are ready : )

[@Randuski]

The only bug I’ve had is after typing in an empty object box, sometimes my mouse is a mix between a pointer and a curser haha but other than that it’s been very stable for me on mac

[@bubbleandsquawk]

For some reason I'm not getting autocomplete in v8

[@AmazingMaxStuff]

Please report any bug to Cycling74 here: cycling74.com/support/contact

[@Randuski]

I don’t think they added autocomplete. I saw that they updated syntax and stuff, and hoped we’d get autocomplete, but nope. Edit: ah yes there is autocomplete. What I was annoyed by is the lack of whatever it’s called when you type a ( and it automatically puts the ) after the text and such. I don’t know a lot of the specific lingo I guess

[@bubbleandsquawk]

@@Randuski Figured it out. Preferences>Text Editing>Use Monaco Text Editor (Experimental)

[@selfhelp441]

do you think with this update it might be possible to do more serious 3d/cad modelling in max?

[@AmazingMaxStuff]

Max is not really designed for 3D modelling, more suited for realtime applications. But if you really wanted you could get something going : )
