is anyone else having this problem?
i go to step automate a note then I cannot get it out of step automation mode

i´m having the same problem and sadly found no solution to this problem. i have to shut down push, switch to another track and restart push, then it´s working again for a little while but gets stuck again, annoying.

this didn't use to happen

ok so let's try to narrow things down.

• What OS are you running?
• What version of Live are you running? (the version you consider broken)
• What version of Live were you running? (before it was broken)
• Have you installed any 3rd party MIDI remote scripts?
• Have you changed Live in any way? i.e have you used the community mapping mods etc?

When things break I usually go through a series of checks to narrow the problem down. Main one is; what did you change in between the working version and the broken version?

Good luck with this.

Hey guys,

Not sure if anyones tried this but i've had this issue ... if i'm stuck in automation mode i just simply punch a new note in the sequencer and it gets out of that rutt !

Hope that helps.

thanks man, i´ll give it a try next time push hangs!

Sounds like the button is getting stuck, maybe try lowering your pad sensitivity? Worth a try at least.

Sometimes I wonder if Live gets a weird processing error over time.

In some cases I'll randomly end up with a stuck note or stuck step. And the stuck thing will usually happen consistently on the one channel, I think if I switch modes, it doesn't always apply.

But this stuck thing, usually notes for me, can be frustratingly beaten out momentarily before it comes back again. I pretty much have to repower the device, or give up on all my fun.

I do not know if it is a physical problem or a software problem, but it seems so random that it would more likely be a software one.

When you have stuck steps or pads, is it consistently the same pad?

I get this. Entering a new note or switching to session view for just a moment gets rid of it.
