New to M4L: Why do I have Max for Live log window popping up

Post by JayDeLux » Sun Mar 19, 2017 7:22 am

Hello,
I am new to M4L on Ableton Live and I swear I do my homework as much as possible.
My problem is that anytime I select a track (any track) I get the M4L logging window popping up, stealing the Ableton Live focus and displaying "live.object - Setting Id cannot be triggered by notifications. You will need to differ your response."

1. It is a pain in the *** to have this M4L log message stealing the focus as I have to click on Live's window to get back on it: How to I prevent this behaviour (maybe just disable M4L window from popping-up and keep it in the background?

2. Is this error message a bad one or can I ignore it? As it stands I am only trying to play around with Connection Kit (https://www.ableton.com/en/packs/connection-kit/) and tried Time&Timbre (https://www.ableton.com/en/packs/time-t ... kinnerbox/).

My versions (latest version on Ableton website):
- Live v9.7.1
- M4L 7.3.3

Thank you so much, I've have sleepless night on this.

Do you have Granulator in your Live set?

Do I take it that Granulator has an issue and must be removed?

**** Download Granulator II Version 2.2.2 from December 2016. Added toggle in the 'about...' view to turn off error reporting.

Thanks all. Removed Granulator from my set and my 'problem' went away.
I will give Granulator another try based on the link and advise you shared.
Great day to all.
