I have a patch that is collecting and using data in a coll object. 

I want to be able to see the data collected into the coll in real time in my patch, and i want it to scroll. 

I have been looking at the text and textedit object. 

The textedit object looks really great, but I can't see how to get the text into the object without typing it.

Is there a way to just send the textedit object text? Like the same text that is going into the coll?

And from the textedit help file, I am thinking that if I want the text to autoscroll I need to use the attrui object to get all my attrubutes how I want them. 

i am also open to other objects or display formats that might be easier, but I am looking for something that doesn't use too much cpu.

Is it possible to launch a video from an other folder than Max8/Library? Is it possible to read a video from a USB key? How to do that?

I am working on a project that was given to me by a long time client, it consists of 3 hard drives with a video presentation that was made in Max.

The video presentation was created and edited by someone who is no longer around. My client gave me these drives to figure out how to play / present them. It's a 24 hour span of time looking at a watch, with music and audio clips to be played in sync. He was told he needed 3 macs to play it. He didn't know what software to use, or anything. Also the drives have not been plugged in since 2008, until now. 

When I mounted the drives I found a folder called Cycling 74, and MaxMSPruntime among other settings folders, which led me to find this software. 

Anyone interested or able to help me figure this out? Preferably someone local to NYC? My client spent a lot of resources back then to have this made and it was only presented once. He very much would like to have it working again and I am just grasping at straws to figure this out.

As per the subject, I open a new patcher, place a live.step max4live object into it, and then the UI element pops up.

It has some default notes in it. I click on one to remove it from the UI and it doesn't remove.  Nor does it seems to when I work with modifier keys on the keyboard, or right clicking.

The documentation does not really provide a tutorial on its use, just the documented controls none of which pertain to removing notes from the sequence step. 

YouTube also seems bereft of specific vids on this object.

Clearly, when working with such a tool, as it is the life blood of the melody, I have to be able to easily move notes about in my sequence but it doesn't appear to support this.

The reset message didn't work on a note pitch remove level.

How to remove a note from a step entirely?

I'm working on a set of Max for Live devices which use [send] and [receive] for sidechaining MIDI messages and combining them in interesting ways with the regular MIDI messages that come through [midiin] and [midiout].  This mostly works, but when there are a lot of messages flowing at once, as when one of the inputs is a looping clip, the device will sometimes stop emitting any MIDI output, requiring the device to be reloaded from the Ableton Live browser.  Here's a minimal reproducible example:

I guessed that the bytes from the respective streams were getting interspersed, thereby confusing [midiout] and leaving it in an unresponsive state.  So I changed my code to make sure that each stream had its own [midiparse] to accumulate the bytes and emit the MIDI messages atomically.

But I'm still seeing the same issue.  Adding message boxes for debugging, I can see that bytes are still flowing out of the [midiformat] even when it gets in the "stuck" state.  Any ideas?

Edit: I'm using Live 12.0.2 and Max 8.6.2 on Windows 11.

My last update to 8.6 seems to have written over my externals folder meaning I’ve lost a few very important externals. The mptcfs_sa~ from MsPinky is now missing and judging by the lack of communication from them, it seems they are no longer in operation and I don’t have a back up anywhere. Is there a way to recover historical externals, are they living somewhere out of site on my computer that I’m missing

What I'd like to do it strip out the spaces in a string. 

Macintosh HD:/Users/user/Library/Application Support/Cycling '74/Max 8/Settings/VST3s/Microtonic Multi.vst3info

I want to strip the spaces ahead of further processing in my UI.

How to remove the spaces? Even AI reckons I had it right. It'd be my go to with sed, awk, grep and perl but Max? No.

regexp @substitute "/ //g"
regexp @substitute "/ //"
regexp @substitute " "
regexp @re "s/ //g"

Given the fact I was specifying @substitute and although I need global, just to see, and also to show @re also not working. Which it should IMHO.

Is it possible to get the actual value of how much you're zoomed into max? You can see it on the top left corner of the window ofc but is there any thispatcher command or something else I can use to get it?
