I’m trying to use TrackGrabber to automate volume faders in Live. I have float OSC messages ("/ch/01/mix/fader 0.xxxxx") coming in and displaying correctly in the GrabberReceiver on the master track.
In the TrackGrabber device, I can see the address in the “recent incoming” dropdown but it doesn’t fill the textbox when I select it. If I type it in manually nothing happens. I’m getting a lot of “/ch/01/mix/fader: bad number” appearing in the Max window. The other address boxes in the device have “0.” in them. On the GrabberSender plugin, the IP/port fields default to “127.” or “0.” which struck me as a bit weird.
I’m using Live 9.7.7 with Max 8.0.0, Livegrabber 4.1.
Hi Mattjs! Thanks for your reply and the test ableton set! It didn’t work for me unfortunately, I made a video with the Max window open while I am adding the plugins to a blank live set.
I didn’t mention in my first post that the activity “lights” in the TrackGrabber plugin don’t illuminate when moving the fader, even though it says “linked to track x”.
Before recording the video I removed all the preferences and library files for both Max and Live, so I’m starting from “factory” (as close as I can anyway).
Thanks for your detailed reply and the video, that really helps.
It looks like this is the result of a known bug around behaviour of pattr in Max 8.0.0 that will be fixed in the next release of Max.
Until that time it is advised to keep working with Max 7 in Ableton Live 9 and with the embedded Max 8 version (which is not the real Max 8) in Live 10.
