Hello,

I’m actually working on my first IanniX project, a reservoir of 3D curves for spatialization of various audio tracks, with remote control of each cursor from Max/MSP via osc.

Nearly everything is doing fine, except a few weird behaviours :

It seems that a track is kept of bad scripts that can’t be erased after that.
For example, I want some curves to be plaid one shot, and some others in loop.
But since I don’t know exactly when, my curves don’t behave anymore like they should according to the setPattern message I give them. They just play once and that’s all.
More precisely than that, the behaviour seems to keep frozen at a previous scripting state.

Are there some messages that disable others ? Maybe using setSpeedF disables setPattern ?
I tried to trash the preferences, use the message « clear » at the beginning of my script, even rename the script and copy-paste the code in a new one with a different name, but all of this won’t work.

In the following code, on my machine only the second curve responds to the setPattern message I give it, the others play once whatever I do :

var ENTONNOIR = 0;

var BOURONNE = 1;

var COURONNE = 2;



var playEntonnoir = 0;

var entonnoirSpeed = 1;

var entonnoirDuration = 10;



var playBouronne = 0;

var bouronneSpeed = 1;

var bouronneDuration = 10;



var playCouronne = 1;

var couronneSpeed = 1;

var couronneDuration = 10;



function onCreate() {



var id = 0;



run("clear");

Sorry the code is a bit long, but since I don’t know where the bug comes from, it may be anywhere (maybe using global variables or osc messages … but I really need them !)

Another symptom is that once, I also had to rewrite the same script from scratch in order to have a cursor attached to a curve with the run(« setCurve current lastCurve »); instruction. Before I did that the cursor was stuck at the origin (0,0,0) and wouldn’t move. After that it reworked fine, but the same trick won’t work for the setPattern problem.

Any clues ? Maybe there is a method to « reinit » some frozen variables states hidden in the IanniX engine ?
Sorry if it is somewhere in the documentation but I didn’t find anything.

Thank you very much, and keep up the very good work.
IanniX is definitely powerful !!!
Cheers,
