Hi Charlie,
i´m just trying to setup my FCB1010 in conjunction with Live5. Found midistroke in this forum-really cool!! thanks a lot for that.
But there´s mainly two strange things happening after a while:
-The Keyboard of my iBook or some shortcuts or out of function, mainly the command-button.
-I programmed one row to play with scenes and one to play with clips. But after a few actions i cant select single clips anymore. i.e. if one clip is selected and i push the right-arrow button or its equivalent on my FCB1010, the first clip stay selected and two tracks´clips are selected. If i go down, both scenes clips of first two tracks get selected, and so on..
I already checked preferences, but that´s o.k.
Some idea?
Carsten

Hmmm... sounds like it's not releasing the modifier keys. Which version are you using? You can get the newest one here:

Hm... i downloaded 2times Midistroke, but it´s still the 1.11 version. But it´s all the same link, is it? ANother thing happened: I installed midiclock, which i need for interaction between Live and Logic. But if Midiclock is on, Midistroke breaks down, sending an errormessage. Does it help if i send it to you?
Hope it´s not getting to complicated.
Thanks
Carsten

Sorry, Charlie my english is too bad. About menu? I just click on the link in your post, that´s what i did, correct? After installing midistroke, i take a look at "about midistroke"menu, it says version 1.11.
Just tried to reproduce the breakdown, when midiclock is open, but doesnt happen. I dont what has changed, i it happens again i sent you the log.
One more question: What do i have to fill in the preferences for the command, shift alt and control? Just a number?
Thanks again for doing all this

That's weird... whenever I download it it definitely says 1.13. I don't know what to tell you... pm me your email address and I'll send you the file.
The preferences are only used for a really specialized purpose: if you're trying to use MIDI devices to replace your computer keyboard. Most people should just leave those fields blank. If you do want to use this feature, yeah, just enter the note number you want to use to trigger those keys. When you press the note, that modifier key is simulated being pressed down. When you release the note, that modifier key is simulated being released.

Hi Charlie,
is really strange. Like when you go to the doctor-as soon as you stand in front of him, the pain is gone: Just tried again to download 1.13, and this time it worked out. Hm... i guess it must have been my mistake, but i really dont know what went wrong. Sorry for that.

i am trying to make a midistroke script so that midi note 1 on channel 1 deletes the top row on three adjacent channels. however when i enter multiple commands it seems to lose some in a peculiar way.
something like 'DOWN DOWN DOWN' works out fine, but "z DOWN DOWN DOWN' seems to lose the 'z'
do i have to make a little command sequence with multiple midi notes to do something like that?
PS: you rule
