Transport Time Pop-up Window Specific Location

Post by jeff cox » Tue Oct 14, 2025 11:40 am

Hi All,

I've never made anything using M4L, so this it all new to me.

I've downloaded a free M4L device called Transport Time by dirty secretz (https://dirtysecretz.gumroad.com/l/transport-time) and it works perfectly, however each time I open a project the pop up windows never open in the location where they were saved. I think it might be that they open up in a specific location, but I'd like to be able to change this location to the top of the window.

Is it at all possible to do this and save it to the device or add functionality to the device where I can alter the size of the device and change the location please? if so where should I be looking to do this or is there a tutorial someone could kindly point me towards. I'm not interested in learning the complete M4L suite as I know that's a wormhole that will likely never get out of.

Thanks Jeff

I did not check the device, but usually in M4L, the floating windows open where they were when the device gets saved.
I don't think there is a way to save the position of a window with the live set, but I might be wrong.
You can drop me a PM, and I can either make the change for you or explain how to do it by yourself.

EDIT :
I just checked the device. All you have to do is edit the device, unfreeze (little blue flake icon), move the window, (freeze the device again, optional/pointless), save.

Hi,

I tried it and it kind of works, the issue I'm having now is that I use two of these devices at the same time as I make the radio edit in the same project but further down the timeline.

This is how I what them to look within the project

Given the knowhow I would edit this into one device and remove things like the key information as I see no need for it as it's built into Live 12 and change the interface a bit. I'm just trying to figure out if the juice is worth the squeeze. is this a difficult thing to learn? I don't mind putting in the work, but I don't want to spend ten hours messing about with it just to save the 2-3 secs it takes per project to place them where I want.

Thanks Jeff

Image is not showing.
This device is a good candidate to learn how to edit. Copy/paste should be quite easy. But feel free to reach out if needed.
