New features have been added to Gen to support MC as well as to make integration of Gen easier with the remainder of your Max patching. The changes include:
The addition of new Gen objects
Several new objects were created to extend the functionality of Gen. These include mcs.gen~, mc.gen~, mc.gen, and gen. These additions are covered in more detail in the Using MC with Gen and Event-handling with MC guides.
Using @expr to create simple Gen patches
You can use the @expr attribute when instantiating a gen, gen~, mc.gen~ or mcs.gen~ object to create a Gen object with the attribute's GenExpr code used as the hosted patch. This can be very useful for simple formula-based functions.
Using the @hot attribute for event-based gen
By default, the gen event-based Gen patcher will use its first inlet as a "hot" inlet triggering Gen processing and output. By using the @hot attribute, you can set any other inlet to be "hot" as well.
