Hey, I’m trying to figure out how to make a bowed plate within Modalys in MaxMSP. I am getting sound, however it happens quite often that I get the following error:
*** ERROR: connection computation error
***
*** ERROR: maximum number of iterations exceeded in connection solver
Please check your accesses for possible incompatible connections
