Hi Julian,

Thank you for your report. I am not the expert, just one of the current
maintainers if the cyclone set of objects. I think the object works, but
maybe not as the Max object. If this is the case I will try to fix it.

Note '$1' is not literary part of the name, just a placeholder of the
first element on the message (=list) you send to the object. If
something is wrong here, the console should contain an error message.
Also see the help on $-variables.

The attached patch is an adaptation of the help-patch, including a
second buffer to switch to. Yo need to open it and draw non-zero values
to get a signal through. It looks like you also have to provide the
offset and length arguments, as leaving them out results in zero -
meaning no useful convolution takes place.

When I have time, I'll check the behaviour of the Max5 object. It might
work better or more user friendly. But first on the planning are some
weeks vacation :-).

P.S. I added the pd-list in the reply, the main forum for issues like
this one (http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list).
