Program loses button midi channel assignment

Post by Hobson »

I have assigned midi trigger channels and notes to each of the buttons on my Live page (all using channel 6), and saved my work. On several occasions when I relaunch the program, the channel assignment on some buttons has been changed to 8. Very aggravating. Is there any way to keep this from happening?

We made a quick test with some midi notes (channel 6) assigned to somes buttons, and we did not see any lost links.
Please post a ZIP of your lightshow ; we will check it.

We see buttons linked to midi channels 6, 8, 9 and 10.
We edited each link and manually replaced with channel 6. We saved, quit and re-started the program, and now all buttons are well linked to channel 6.

We do not know why it was like this, we are not able to reproduce that, so we are not able to fix that problem for now.
But, in the meantime, this can be fixed like we explained above.

Thanks for checking it.

Between the time I started this thread and the time I sent the file to it, I decided to quit using channel 6 exclusively and use channel 7 on the buttons that had been switching away from channel 6. When I sent the file for your review I wasn't sure whether this fix would work. So far it has.

Thank you much for checking it out. It was very kind of you. Let's hope for the best.
