phatmatik pro and live 5.2 crashing. Help needed

Post by the_hoodedclaw » Thu Aug 31, 2006 10:52 am

hi,

i was wondering whether anyone had come across this problem. whenever i open phatmatik in live 5.2 as a vst. when i click on phatmatiks open button, live quits every time. when i open it as an audiounit, its fine. does anyone know why this is

many thanks

thought i'd ask cause it's unusable on Intel Mac!!!

God knows when they'll update the 1.51 version

Basically, it all works etc but you can't save your work

As soon as you save, the knobs/sliders go nuts and reset to random values

yeah, something isnt right with it. as soon as you try to import a file, live shuts down completely. but only as a vst. weird

what happens when you drag out a clip of the midi? That is the way I categorize and archive my beats with it - works a treat :) It saves the beat, the slices, and all the settings of Phatmatik Pro - this is on pc, though.
mbp 2.66, osx 10.6.8, 8GB ram.

i've tried the Windows version - works fine

Basically, when i do the same things on Mac then hit Save, all my master settings go nuts and reset to random values.
If you click on any slice after that, them too have lost their individual settings.

I did think i'm doing something stupid but on Windows, it's all good

I wrote to their support team 4 times now. First time, i got a reply from some n00b who promised he'd forward my probs to the developers.
2nd, 3rd and 4th time i wrote to them asking for an update: S I L E N C E

What's crazier is that they're still selling it to Intel Mac users!!!

I raised this problem in another thread once and someone else confirmed he's having the same prob with the Intel Mac version.
