Ableton Forum

Hi folks, I've created two devices that I use for adding tiny randomizations to a track's volume and pan.
I use them for a sort of jittery fader-riding to add unpredictability to sounds.

I've set them up so that they don't start working until you press Play.
However, they still write values for Ableton's Undo feature and it's kinda useless
It clogs up the Undo list and makes it hard to undo genuine mistakes I make.
I have to undo many times to get back to the thing I want to fix.

Is there a way to disable undo values for a M4L device?

If you change the guilty parameters setting to “stored only” instead of “automated and sorted” I believe it will stop filling the undo history. Down side and a it won’t be able to be automated.

hello
try, if it's possible, to use "live.remote" instead of "live.object" in your device

So, that didn't work, but I tried setting them to Hidden instead.
I also disabled "Visible to Mapping" too.
Looks like one or other of them worked, because now I don't have useless undo data from this plugin.
Thanks!

Ah, I've just seen this now.
I'll experiment with that another time now that I have a version that works.
