#1

I downloaded sum and as soon as I open it in Max it overloads the CPU >100%. Any thoughts? Mac OS 10.11.5 El Capitan and Max 7.2.3

Haven’t had this problem with other Max patches.

#2

try opening sum in mac 6 runtime-- it was written originally in max 6 and i’m not sure if something happened to change how it works in max 7.

#3

Max 6 runtime won’t even open it. I can browse to it, select open but it never opens.

#4

Maybe try opening it in 32 bit mode? Not sure why but this has helped me with similar issues in the past.

#5

Both are set to open in 32 bit mode already. It’s the only way I can use it with Pages. :-/

#6

which file are u opening in max, the maxproj or monome_sum.maxpat?

I had this same problem a few months ago when I updated to Max 7, but in my case, it was solved when I made sure that the version of Max 7 I was running was in 64-bit mode. There was something odd about Max 7 on Mac OS X ElCapitan at the time in which it kept switching back to 32-bit mode (even after I switched to 64-bit mode). There is a workaround online that helps you ensure that your Max 7 runs in 64-bit mode. I’m also assuming you’re using the newest version of Max 7.
