MlrV presets system is buggy

help
  • 0x800x80

    I have been struggling with this for a while, and kept loosing my stuff or messing things up. First I thought I was doing something wrong but I found that I can reproduce consistently. The app seems quite advanced and clearly a lot of development effort went into it, but without a way to reliably save my setup I wonder how I'm going to use this for anything serious.

    This video is from version 2.3, but the same behavior continues in 2.5.

    In addition to the video I noticed that the speed settings aren't stored properly. I've put it in the google issue list.

    The speed not storing is not the worst, since I can manually correct that and it's not such a big deal. But often the presets stored show up double in the list like you see on the video, and then it becomes a real mess and I don't know how to fix things. I'm not completely sure this still happens in 2.5, since I don't know the steps to reproduce it.

    I'm wondering if anyone is using mrlv frequently and maybe has some tips on how to work around these issues?

    haven't experienced this bug, will have to check again if it's the same here, but for me midi-mappings are not stored in presets. Is it just me or anyone else?

    i have the same speed storing issue. I'm using latest version of mlrv as well

    i've never used mlr in any serious stuff because i've encounter many problems like this. Might be user errors, my computer or anything else, though.

    I also have the speed issue, not mapping, though. Is everyone using Max 5? I hear it works better in that environment.

    Have you tried this one?

    I had a lot of issue with my setup with mlr but this one is pretty stable and have lot of great features:)

  • trppngtrppng

    Yeah, redux really is the best mlr app so far!

  • 0x800x80

    Thanks for all the comments. I'll give redux a try!

    Does redux run via Ableton? I ask because I don't see a maxpat file.

  • trppngtrppng

    yes, it's an m4l device.

    which can thus be opened in Max7 i believe

  • l00pl00p

    Yes, but isn't this meant to be to edit m4l patches? (opposed to running them in max7)
    or: how will the binding to live's transport etc. react? is there a wrapper or does *nothing* happen if there is no live transport? (I guess the latter?)

    Hi! -- I just opened mlr in Max7. The interface comes up and it "seems" to work. Meaning, I can hit the button "setup" and the option to connect my monome comes up. However, I can't actually connect as the button is not enabled.

    Has anyone actually gotten this to sucessful work in Max7?
