since a month I work on a MacBook Pro 16" M1 Max, which worked flawlessly up until a few days ago, when working with Max got increasingly slow.

The fps in resource hungry jitter patches are still fine, but when creating objects, typing in numbers and all that stuff there seems to be a serious "display lag". I.e. when drawing a slider or turning a dial by mouse, the function itself remains prompt and fine, but sometimes it takes seconds for the slider to visually follow my mouse-movement.

Also opening Max takes a lot longer than it used to, very often when opening the reference sidebar I get the "spinning rainbow wheel" for at least a second etc.

Everything else apart of Max, editing software, photoshop etc works fine, so I wonder where this behavior comes from. I didn't change anything about the MacBook apart of a minor Update in Monterey (now 12.2.1), but these problems already startet before that.

Did anyone have the same problem or know anything about it?

I have Monome Grid 64 and I connected it to max msp.

I want to switch presets in my patch, using "Preset" object by pressing buttons on Grid64. Please tell me how to do this?

 They use the "matrixctrl" object. How can I do the same thing but with a Preset?

My question concerns the codes that are attached to the messages. Are these patch codes?

max-patcher-1

These are patches (usually copy compressed). Copy that , open Max and choose from the file menu "new from clipboard"


I use Max for Live 8.5.5 in Ableton Live 11
hello. Thank you.
This is the problem.  When I use the "new from clipboard" command, a dark window opens; it contains the code. Do you need to have purchased the full version of Max?



I have attached to the code the beginning of the code and the end of the code.
If I select the File menu option, "New from clipboard", a dark window appears. We read the code there. On the other hand, I don't know how to find a MAX code from a text.If a moderator comes across my message, please tell me how to do it.

Sorry for posting about a side topic regarding this forum, but I have looked a bit everywhere on the internet and since Soundflower was initially developped by Cycling74, I thought that might not be totally out of place.

Also, Soundflower is a very useful audio application...

It seems impossible to install soundflower on recent Macs.

I used all the procedures recommended on the web and keep failing 

Is there an alternative to Sound Flower? It is very convenient yet.

SoundFlower Installation on Mac OS Monterey / Alternate softwares?

Hello, I know this is not a mac or motu specific forum... but I know you are all very experienced with gear too...

I have some issues for setting up my AVB + M1 Max.

Actually, it works fine "as it is" which means with the basic preset 1. Actually, that's pretty solide, VERY LOW latency etc.

But I can't setting it up through their weird http embed server: MOTU Discovery doesn't discover anything.

Hello, I know this is not a mac or motu specific forum... but I know you are all very experienced with gear too...
I have some issues for se

motu-ultralive-avb-m1-max

yeah. I remember this being a PITA requiring close following of their instructions (and the same for updating). Completely off the top of my head (I don't have the AVB to hand) I think you might have to connect via USB AND ethernet to do the setting up.

I'll try like this, and it will busy one connection for that only.
I'll give a try to AVB from my mac to as the same time, just for checking...

From the Ultrlite AVB (the one I have) manual...
3 Connect the interface to your computer with a USB cable (included). If you have a Thunderbolt- equipped Mac running OS X Yosemite (10.10) or later, you can alternately connect the UltraLite to the Mac’s Ethernet port with a standard CAT-5e or CAT-6 Ethernet cable (sold separately).

Try connecting via Ethernet first. If that doesn't work, maybe have both ethernet and USB connected at the same time. 

I'm not too sure about all this (I just remember first use being a fiddle faddle), but here's the relevant bit from the Updating page in the manual...

Firmware updating requires a network cable connection, so before you begin, connect a standard CAT-5 or CAT-6 network cable from the network port on the UltraLite AVB to one of the following:

■ Your computer’s network port (or a Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet adapter)

■ Your home, studio, or office network (with internet access)

■ AnAVBportonaMOTUAVBswitch (connected to your office network through the Ethernet port)

1 LaunchtheMOTUAVBControlwebappon your computer, iPad, or iPhone, as usual.

(Figure D-1), click More Info.
4 After reviewing the list of enhancements, click

OK to start the update.
5 Follow the on-screen instructions.

Do you mean I'd need to upgrade the firmware ?


No, I just included that so that you could see their connection instructions. Mind you, it might be an idea to run the update anyway, though you won't be able to do that until MoTu Control can see the device.

I had already did it, btw.
And yes ok I understand.
I'll go that way. This is just for programming a couple of presets. After that, afaik, I can recall them through the interface's ui itself.

Hey David, USB-C >> ethernet interface made it working.
I can setup the mixer etc.

I'm now trying to setup AVB on my Monterey OS for testing purpose. If it would work, I'd only have the ethernet link from computer to motu. and not ethernet for settings AND usb for audio.

Not as easy as I thought to do the avb from core audio


and ... that's not possible apparently.
https://techable.com/apple/hrf_faq/does-the-belkin-usb-c-to-gigabit-ethernet-adapter-support-avb-over-ethernet/ 
I'd have to go from USB-C to thunderbolt then thunderbolt to ethernet ?
L O L.

actually, I got that ultra lite avb and I shouldn't get it at all :-(

That’s good! 
I never got around to figuring out the AVB, although using that was part of the original reason for getting this interface. In the end it was easier to use the Thunderbolt port and analogue leads to a stage box (this is on the 624, which is slightly different to the Ultralite AVB).
The routing matrix still does my head in though!

Hi, i have a problem on ableton. One of my plugins prevents the export, and i don't know how to fix the whole thing without having to delete everything and reinstall. Any idea ?
