First off, I'd like to say thanks a lot for this wonderful
application.
Windows Vista, Monome 128
Issue #1 "Strange Midi Notes"
Upon initial release of the "xgroove version" of mlrv, I was
unable to use it; and thus had to downgrade to an older version...
but I am now happy to report that your latest version works for me,
and is rock solid. Never crashes. However.... when I load the
patch, everything works fine... but every single button on the
Monome plays a note on the Microsoft Windows Synthesizer as well as
controlling MLRV. This problem goes away when I restart the Max
Runtime and MLRV several times, so I can live with it, but I
thought I'd let you know. Perhaps I am doing something wrong, but I
have never had this problem with previous versions of mlrv... I can
only assume that the issue is related to xgroove... The midi notes
are only played when the MLRV patch is loaded, and this does not
happen when I use the Monome for anything else...
Issue #2 "malfunctioning pattern recorder knobs"
The Ableton-esque "knobs" that you "turn" in order to adjust the
length of the pattern recorders have always been messed-up for me,
in every single version of mlrv that I have used. Pattern recorders
#1,#3 and
#4 are
all fouled up, and when I turn the knobs to any length other than
default, I am presented with only the most useless numbers... such
as 7,9,13 ect. Pattern recorder #2's "knob" seems to behave correctly, and
this is fortunate, because it has a length of 16; which is what I
most often use. As a result, I am "stuck" with the default lengths,
and I'd love to have a 2nd recorder set at 16, instead of the
default of 8. Is there another way to change the length of patterns
other than by dragging the mouse across the knob? At any rate, I
can totally live with these 2 minor issues, but I just thought that
I would let you know....
