bach 0.7.3 beta with Cage?

Post by Sinfonico » Mon Dec 22, 2014 10:28 am

Hi
I'm working on max 5.1.3 so I downloaded bach 0.7.3 beta. Is this the last version of Bach compatible with 5.1.3?
I'm asking you because when I open some cage.overview in the max window there are lot of missing object.
best

Dear Sinfonico,

you can use even the latest bach version with Max 5, but some modules won't work. For instance, the bach.dict2llll abstraction won't work (there was no "public" dictionary support before Max 6), hence you'll experience troubles in the bach and cage overviews (which heavily rely on a dictionary-based documentation system).

That being said, bach versions after 0.7.3 are not supported on Max 5, thus there's no installer, and you'll have to move by hand the package elements in the appropriate position of the Max 5 path (that's roughly the same process explained in the 0.7.3b readme file for manual Max 5 installation).

Hope this helps!
Daniele
