Anyone else having this problem? Hesitating to upgrade my SL MK3 firmware.

I've updated both the SL firmware and Ableton Live, problem solved.

maybe its only me, but let me ask you a question, if you take an operator in ableton, and you try to change the filter frequency with the sl mk3 knob only looking at the novation sl mk3 screen, its all ok in the screen? can you see the changes nice and smooth or with interrumptions? cause I have the circle working with a little bit of lag but maybe its only me, the problem affected me in bitwig too cause I use booth but I had a better performance in bitwig but now I'm writing to novation trying to solve the problem in the screen... or trying to downgrade cause I was better with bitwig and the last version of sl :evil:

Yes, You are right. the dial graphic on the SL screen is very jerky although the numerical readout is smooth.

Although I have only found it a problem on the Operator Filter and Resonance so far. Nothing else.

I just got done chatting with Novation support for an hour about a similar issue.

They told me they are working on it but it seems this issue has been around a while... I'm not holding my breath...

if I remember correctly, that's how it is supposed to work.
you can map any parameter you want thru ableton live macros, and those will show in the novation sl.
what happens when you switch presets in massive, because you have activated the macros setup, Live automaps all of the parameters.

My video shows the SL not working as intended. Novation support has seen this video and confirmed the ableton plugin display bug. I have no clue what you are talking about.

I guess they didn't point you to this:

I change through about 100 patches in a given set. The SL is supposed to auto grab the macros. This is literally the only reason i bought the thing.

Yeah, I can see why that would be annoying. I'm going to pay a bit more attention to my SL MK3. You know, I've definitely had something similar happen with the Push2, but that may have been the plugin not the hardware.

You may have mentioned this - is the issue just with Massive? As your vid showed, it worked well with Absynth.
