Re: loadbang / this.device: Bug or undocumented Behavior? (When do they trigger?)

Hello chapelier fou,

thanks for your reply and tip!

What if you first open live (empty set) and then open your set ?


Having a project with two instances of the test device in two Midi tracks:

1. Opening the project together with starting up Live

Middle (live.thisdevice) and right ...

Re: loadbang / this.device: Bug or undocumented Behavior? (When do they trigger?)

Hi Rivanni,

Thank you very much for your support and the time digging into the issue!

Timer is not the time between project startup and loading the patch (as you wrote here), but the time between loading the device and you clicking the menu (as you wrote in the patch)

Partly.
The umenu should ...

loadbang / this.device: Bug or undocumented Behavior? (When do they trigger?)

Hello Max Patchers,

Does someone have a clue or hint about this strange behavior?

In my M4L patch I need to block some messages which automatically get sent when loading the patch into a project.

Initially I did that by a loadbang and a gate which should block messages for the first 2000ms after ...

Re: Any chance of getting the old browser categories back?

This is an old thread but as we discussed a potential solution bit here before, I thought I place it here as well.

Personally, I really like the new tagging and search functionalities. There is one thing though which still confuses and bugs me and makes searches of e.g. devices take longer than in ...

Re: Searching for an union of tags

Support of the 4 Boolean Operators (AND, OR, NOT, XOR) really would be a great addition to the searching and tagging function! Proverbial, it would be a logical step to add those..
Users really could benefit from it as it can simplify searches and add more usability and hence improve workflow (what ...

Re: Support for Linux in Live

Oh, and also just saw that, beside e.g. Reaper and Bitwig, Studio One offers a Linux (Beta) version since 6.5 as well.
So, there seems to be a little movement :-)

Re: Support for Linux in Live

Some days ago Steinberg liberalized ASIO and VST to be freely implemented in software which is being used under open source license. Maybe also because of CLAP? :D
Anyway, great to see and thank you Steinberg :-)

?
Where did I write that?

I wrote " Not saying this always is the case (there also are companies which contribute a lot) or that Ableton is doing that (I don't have a clue). "

I wrote a rather general comment about what unfortunately often - that does not mean always nor done by Ableton in ...

Re: Support for Linux in Live

"Linux version of Live already exists and runs inside Push 3 Standalone."

Yeah. But there it serves as a special "device OS" more similar to Android or hundred thoundands of other machines/devices/products/servers which use a customized Linux specifically for this product and embedded inside. And ...

Re: How do you get around the lack of linked midi clips/patterns?

tbh my opinion meanwhile, even if it makes me sad to say: Not depend on M4L and move to another DAW..

Not saying that everything is bad (Live still can be awesome) and of course the other DAWs also have their flaws. Just have gotten the impression over the years that, as many other software ...

Re: Support for Linux in Live

It's this stupid hen egg problem which one can see often with monopoles/small oligopolies. Similar with Insta, X, whatever

2. But yeah, how shall it grow noteworthy if most of the common ...

Re: Strange inconsistent latency when recording external MIDI devices

In my setup it is the other way round.
I get massive jitter when using USB-MIDI on my device but quite stable results when I route it over the MIDI port of the audio interface and its proprietary driver (RME UCX). Though then I get problems with the MIDI clk/MIDI notes and sending larger SysEx ...
