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

With this version one can load and run FTM & Co patches in Max 5 without providing the possibility to edit the the FTM message boxes (ftm.mess) and definitions (ftm.object). Also saving the loaded patches in the new Max 5 file format in not enabled yet. The graphical objects such as ftm.vecdisplay and ftm.editor can be loaded and created but don't display anything yet.

A full version of FTM for Max 5 can be expected for spring 2009. Until then, the missing features will be successively introduced in the following alpha and beta versions.
