problem with my Drift preset macros

Post by silicon1138 » Tue Jun 03, 2025 12:34 pm

Hi - I've been trying to create my own Drift presets in Live 12.1.1.
I've installed the options file correctly and i can export patches from the grouped Drift.
The issue i'm having is with the macros i've set up.
I've assigned 8 of them but they are not correct when i'm using the presets in Move and show some different assignments, i think from older attempts.
I've turned the Move off and on again thinking it might have got a bit hung up but nothing changes.

Is it just buggy?

Thanks.

I'm answering my own question (again).
For anyone else having issues, i found another video on the subject of Drift Presets and Macro assignments being problematic and it turns out that you have to:
1 Put Drift Inside a rack
2 Create Your Macros
3 Put this rack inside ANOTHER rack
4 Export your patch from the outermost rack.

Having done this, my Macros appear on Move correctly.

FYI, that's documented here.
