The program runs, after a total failure caused by double declarations.
I'd added a panic module, in case the recording of drums was still not happening (using stored files instead). It seems that if you re-declare anything anywhere in Max, at any level, it silently fails. No error output, just sits there smirking. Cure = delete panic module.
The cross-synth with the live drum recording has never been tested[1], so this was the first time it had run. It doesn't quite work, because the conga drums don't have sufficient of the required spectral envelope, and the resultant noise is a bit... well... never mind, at least it actually happens now.
There is much more for me to do during the performance than I'd realised (what with remembering to click on everything that needs starting at particular times, conducting the drummer, and controlling the volume). I've just had a tuna butty, maybe that will help (mode Wooster).
[1] First attempt, missing studio key; second attempt, system b0rked and no sound out.
