another bug I encounter everytime:

If I have 3 instances of darksynth in a project, collect and save will crash ableton live.
This doesn't happen if I collect & save with 2 darksynth, then adding another one then collect & save again.

Is there a way to avoid audio pops when we play with polyphony, some damping note on/off mode to avoid such audio clicks?
it is sometimes a bit disturbing especially with long attack/release sounds.

I enjoy this synth like I wouldn't have imagine, so inspirating and flexible, overall intuitive as well.
a marvel to work with, lovely.

Hat off, dear Maurizio.

Hi Hermanus, thank you for your appreciation! :D
I tried to collect and save a live set with 3 dark synths and it didn't crash: probably this is a memory related problem? There is a discussion on the m4l section of this forum about stability iissues.

About the pops, can you send me a live set showing the issue? Contact me via http://www.giri.it/wp/contact/

Dear Maurizio,

I could send you the liveset but I've found the cause.

the audio buffer size of my soundcard was too low.
I tried freeze track and drag & copy the frozen clip to an audio track.
Like I heard no pops at all, it was clearly related to the audio buffer size.
So I raised it up and audio glitches are gone!
lame error from my own mixed with excitation of discovery, I guess :oops:
Now I can fully enjoy ear massages from this superb darksynth

sorry for the mess up and cheers again for what I would call "my new favorite weapon of choice" :idea:

Just the help menu problem right now.

Parameter recall issue is solved so far, and I have tried it a few times now but I will keep testing.

Are we expecting a Max for Live update anytime soon (does anyone know) ?
Anyway, at least the biggest part of my problem was solved, Thank You mauriziogiri :)

hope they get the missing Info View text problem solved however. I will be sure to report to Ableton.
- anyone else running Max for Live on Mavericks?

Update: - I should probably open a separate topic huh? :roll:

Info View text randomly comes and goes for all Max for Live devices - So odd.
Strangely, Adding Spectrum Effects after Dark Synth brought them all back temporarily, but after a few parameter adjustments they went away again for both.
Definitely a bug.

Anyone else on Mavericks 10.9.2 that can help test this?

I launched a project with several darksynth and was astonished to hear straight sounds that were not supposed to be in the project.

the darsynths were back to a default preset.

I started recalling the presets then I stopped.
so then
I tried reopening the project and it solved the problem. simple :wink:
