Overcoming: FAILURE IN SERVER /s_new too many nodes

Questions
1

Hello all,

I have a patch where I intend to use more than 1000 SynthDefs, however if I go over – I think – 1040 I get the error message “FAILURE IN SERVER /s_new too many nodes”.

I believe this is to prevent crashes, but I would like to override it. I’ve searched for a way to do this but not found one that specifically addresses it.

Any illumination of this subject would be gratefully received!

Many thanks,

Dom

Set this before booting the server.

Thanks for your reply Jamshark. I´m still doing something wrong though.

ServerOptions.new;
ServerOptions.maxNodes= 2080;

No luck from the above.

Try Server.default.options.maxNodes = 2080, assuming you’re using the default server. Otherwise swap out Server.default with the server instance you’re using. Then reboot the server.
