Does mubu/imubu use more RAM in Max 7 than in Max 6?

MuBu
#1

Following a recent problem with a Max 7 patcher crashing upon loading files in a polybuffer~ linked to some imubu objects, I figured out that the issue was a lack of RAM.

However the same patcher with the same sounds ran flawlessly in Max 6.1/Mubu 1.6.4 (both Max 6 and 7 are used in 32-bits mode).

So the question is: does imubu (or mubu) 1.8.11 need more memory than version 1.6.4 or is this increased need of RAM caused by Max 7? Are there settings in imubu which would help free some RAM?

Thank you in advance.

If I replace all the imubu objects by simple mubu objects, there’s no problem anymore. So it seems imubu uses more RAM in version 1.8/Max 7 than in version 1.6/Max 6.

Hi,
I’ve just fixed this memory bug. A new release is planned for the next week.
