FTM and Max/MSP Multi-Threading (Warning)

FTM is still not entirely thread-safe. Messages or expressions that are executed in different threads (alarm, GUI/main, UDP input, etc) and simultaneously modify FTM data structures (e.g. fmat ou mat) can cause crashes. The easiest way to avoid this is to reschedule congruent accesses to FTM data structures into the same thread. The externals "pipe" or "ftm.schedule" (that now is thread-safe) with a 0 delay time would always output in the alarm ("high priority") thread while "defer" and "deferlow" can be used to reschedule messages in the Max main application (GUI) thread.

Experimental Versions

Max 5 on Mac OS X

FTM 2.5 alpha release (ALPHA 2) for Max 5

This version can load, run and edit FTM & Co patches in Max 5. It includes fully functional versions of the graphical objects such as ftm.vecdisplay and ftm.editor. Saving patches in the new Max 5 file format is now enabled, but the persistent content of FTM objects (with ftm.object having the "Save in Patcher" persistence flag set) is not saved yet.

A beta version of FTM 2.5 for Max 5 will follow within the next weeks. Our engagement is to make FTM & Co 2.5 100% compatible with FTM 2.3 as soon as possible. Please note that we can not completely guarantee the compatibility of successive FTM & Co 2.5 alpha releases.
