Ableton Live MIDI Remote Script / Control Surface

What about loading other things the the ssl 4000?

it loads “slowly”, the current values are only visible after I switch to the mixer page and then back.
is this slow?

I noticed in the latest release when debugging is on there are a lot of

“dipslay updating” messages.

Can you check and share the log?

Log.txt.zip (235.8 K)
here the last ableton log file

can it be better with debug 2?
I tried it, maybe it loads a little faster.

Please move sendmidi to

/Users/phonaak/ElectraOne/sendmidi

Try if it improves.

Quick analysis:

In the logs I see a lot of this messages, it looks the remotescript is waiting for an ACK but isn’t getting any or perhaps its routed somewhere wrongly.
Not sure what is going on.

then not in /Users/phonaak/ElectraOne/sendmidi/lib?

It is not supposed to be slow if sendmidi is used, and values should be refreshed immediately, and should not require you to switch back and forth.

Can you send me the Log.txt again so I can investigate?

sendmidi is not used. read my previous post please

I copied the sendmidi to the Users/…/ElectraOne folder.
loading works faster (now ca. 12 sec the ssl4000e, neoverb, hx native (more macros), the “load” animation does not flash, “just as it should”, but the values are only visible after switching to the mmixer project and back.
still have the same problem with omnisphere macros.
if I click on the omnisphere, the loading animation flashes several times as “before”.

I saw that too in the log @phonaak sent yesterday. It is somewhat weird but it appears as if the Omnisphere preset is never ever received by the E1 (normally the E1 log messages say a preset is received and then tells about parsing it, but that doesn’t happen here). When I have time again this weekend and when I am connected to my E1 I want to investigate and test what happens when I disable sendmidi.

12 sec is way to long for loading, even very complex presets should upload within a second (after being loaded into Ableton itself) if sendmidi is used. In any case, the maximum timeout is 2 seconds :wink:

here is the new log file

hurrrraaaaa :upside_down_face:
I also think it’s f…ing slow, but i thought “this is it, this is what i have to love”.
…and then tell me how I can make it faster?
ok.
im waiting for weekend :innocent:

It is slow because you haven’t properly enabled and or installed sendmidi. I can see in the log you just sent it doesn’t work

should i create a log file with debug 5 setting?

open a terminal

mv /Users/phonaak/ElectraOne/lib/sendmidi /Users/phonaak/ElectraOne/sendmidi

restart Ablton and lets see.

Edit: sorry I see you did alread. so /Users/phonaak/ElectraOne/sendmidi

i dowloaded the package.
i install on external ssd.
only 1 file.
i copied to ElectraOne.

Log file with Debug 5.

I did this with finder.
or is it not that I move the sendmidi file from the lib folder to the ElectraOne folder?
