Iota not working..repairing with Max?

Post by Georgiapdx » Wed Aug 30, 2017 11:26 pm

Hello all, I just purchased Iota for Live and it seems to broken. Is there any way to repair plugins with Max before I ask for my money back?

I'd contact support@ableton.com if you've already made sure that you're using the latest version of Max.

I have the same problem. Not an iota of sound from Iota. Live 9.7.4 and Max 7.3.4. :cry:

I think one of the issues was that Live was still pointing to Max 6 in Preferences. I'm getting sound now.

I just installed the latest version of M4L, still no Iota. I can't seem to draw selections with the pencil tool. and no sound coming out anywhere.
could this be a 64bit/32bit issue? any ideas?

Have you tried changing the folder to Max 7 in Live Preferences / Max Application?

So how does everybody like it? Very Iris-like, which I already own.

I did a gig with it yesterday as a way of learning more about it. It's OK. the interface is a little clunky though. i would like to get a bigger window and better definition of the waveform. Offset defaults would also be useful, but i can set these up elsewhere and MIDI trigger them in.

Hi, I have started using IOTA and i had a very creative session with it yesterday. However when I opened the same project today samples that I had loaded in all IOTA plug-ins are gone. Basically it's empty now and shows 'drop sample here'. Automation and settings is still there though. It would be quite difficult to recreate what I did last night. Any idea what to do to recover my work?

Does it happen every time, or was it a single unfortunate bug?
