This issue still has not been fixed in the current version of Live! Any news Ableton?

Just for future reference, here's another example where somebody reported and clearly documented this problem: http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=163240

I have been reloading the templates. I've been forced to, actually, because with Automap 4 I am also again having the problem where MIDI channels lose their proper category (that is, User/FX/Inst./Mixer) and all bunch up into one category, with improper mapping. So your Automap really doesn't crash ...

I appears that this no longer works with the current beta of Automap 4. Whenever I try to turn the knob that is assigned to scroll through scenes, Automap 4 crashes. Hopefully, this is due to an Automap 4 bug that will be fixed, rather than a permanent incompatibility between this script and Automap...

Thanks for the update. I can also confirm that Automap 4 does not make the problem any better (not that I expected it to, since the issue seems to be on Ableton's end).

The problem is also described here: http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=165099

Has this issue been fixed in 8.2.5? I see no mention of it in the changelog.

OMG! I should have looked more carefully at Guile's script! It already controls the active Ableton device (on page 1 of the instrument map)! WOW!

Am I really alone in experiencing this "choppy" automation? It only occurs when the vst being controlled is processing - that is, when the VST is turned "on". I can record automation from any parameter with the VST being controlled by my Nocturn turned off very smoothly and preci...

Well, I finally got this working. Sporkles, if you're still interested you may find that assigning the midi channels "backwards" will help. That is: User = ch. 4, FX = ch. 3, Inst = ch. 2, and Mixer = ch. 1. I don't know why it works but it does. My question now is whether it is possible t...

Maybe I should clarify what I mean by "choppy". I mean that when you are recording Automap automation, and you turn a knob in a smooth, regular fashion, in Live 8.1.4 or higher you will observe that the recorded automation has a series of rough plateaus rather than a smooth curve. And, of ...

For me, the main part of the problem is not recording automation with the GUI open or closed, it is that the recording of the automation is choppy and imprecise (and thus effectively worthless). I say "part of the problem" because this issue seems to be tied to the GUI issue - that is, it ...

I can confirm the above problems, exactly as described by RD444, and I can also confirm that on my machine they persist with Live 8.2.1 and Automap 3.7, and that Live 8.1.3 works perfectly with Automap 3.7. This is definitely a problem with Live, not Automap! Or, at the very least, it is an emergent...

Is this working for anyone with Live 8.2.1 and Automap 3.7? I had it sort of working with Live 8.1 and Automap 3.4, but now I cannot get it working at all. I thought maybe it was the fault of having upgraded Live, but I now suspect that it is the result of upgrading to Automap 3.7. For one thing, I ...

Using 3.4.1, every time I unplug and re-connect the Nocturn, all four of the MIDI maps get clumped together under the Mixer section. I can re-place them into their appropriate sections, but they just get clumped back together again the next time I unplug the thing. I don't know if this problem has a...
