hi,
i found this problem in another thread from 2006 (!): http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?t=102662
but it looks like it was never resolved?
i am using Live 7 with Reaktor 5 as a VST on a new MacBook Pro, and the GUI freezes. i can continue to play clips and hear audio, but there is no visual feedback, except for the scene color and row shading. resizing the window updates the GUI but as soon as i release the mouse it freezes again. it looks like the GUI initially freezes as soon as i send a program change to Reaktor. if i delete all midi clips, save and re-open, it doesn't seem to freeze (but i can't use Reaktor without the program changes).
was there ever a fix for this problem? there were a couple of workarounds mentioned: entering and exiting full screen mode, opening and closing the file manager, but neither of these work for me. i need to be able to send program changes, or Live is useless to me as a host.
thanks in advance,
greg
