Grab doesn't work inside ableton

[Mattijs]

Hi,

Send and receive work fine cross-plugin, which is absolutely great, but to my surprise, grab doesn't! I would -love- a working grab.

Steps to reproduce:
- In plugin 1, tweak the numbox connected to r yo
- In plugin 2 you will see the value you entered
- Now, in plugin 1, press the bang
- Problem: the value isn't reported from the outlet of grab

Live 8.1b6, Max 5.1.0 a1

This is still a problem in Live 8.1b7 and Max 40387.

Can you please let me know if you can reproduce this?

Thanks,
Mattijs

I can reproduce this and I'll log it. There are a bunch of extra things going on under the hood w/r/t send and receive between devices, I wouldn't count on this getting fixed.

Thanks for your reply. Too bad the chances are low that grab is going to work in Live, since it's a very (in fact more or less the only) convenient way to have multiple locations use a single entity of stored data. I use grab an awful lot in my patching, as the equivalent of a variable when I'm programming in Java or C.

Fingers crossed..
