I don't use Florian script. It's a little bit of a mess, and its touchstrip (especially) implementation doesn't work as it should. It doesn't grab/release properly.
Florian's work is very good when you need to understand how to program Push with M4L in the first place. But it's too much cluttered and has wrongly implemented things IMHO for patching.
(I've just tested your patch, and, as you're using Florian development kit, the touchstrip is not well managed. Have you tried to have more than one of your device in a set? Or more than one track ?)

Same. Really like this device Patrick, but it tends to crash Live if I load a rack with this in it, regardless if the touchstrip was pre-mapped to modwheel or not. One could load it separately from the rack I suppose. I'm just scared that eventually down the road a track I've worked on cannot open due to this device being saved in it. For now I use Keyboard Control 1. No touchstrip>modhweel - it's controlled via an encoder, but zero crashes.irrelevance wrote:Valiumdupeuple wrote:Will try this Patrick.

Appreciate the patch patrick but I get issue with it failing to grab the touchstrip when loaded in a default set or as a default midi track under 9.1.6.Even had the odd 'serious error' crash too which seems to happen when keyboard control and gridlock patches are loaded in the same set. Will have another look at the florian dev kit but thought this was surpassed on release of push code from Mark Egloff here:

Keyboard Control 2 works just like a modwheel when mapped to it and the type dial set to "Fader". It doesn't and shouldn't spring back to zero when released, like most modwheels. Works perfectly actually, it's just the random crashes...Valiumdupeuple wrote:I'm not joking when I say that, for the moment, I haven't came across a M4L device that correctly grabs and release the touchstrip.

No, a simple conversion is not enough, as the touchstrip would still reacts like a pitch bend (returning back to the middle value). I haven't found any help in Mark's patches. Anyway, sorry for the delay; the device perfectly works and should be available in the next few days.irrelevance wrote:tedlogan wrote:

What tripped me up with thinking Keyboard control 2 was working was it seemed to load okay between sets i.e. Live is already open, and problems only became apparent when live was opened for the first time. Hadn't looked at the earlier release due to the undo history thing.
So looking into the Mark Egloff push objects I didn't find anything specific to the touchstrip (doesn't mean it isn't there) but it occured to me that while grabbing the touchstrip is the ideal maybe a simple number conversion to midi would suffice. Would mean not paying attention to the LEDs however.
