TouchAble Pro most annoying bugs (1.623 latest build)

[AndreGM]

TouchAble Pro 1.623 latest build all the way to 1.628 (beta) bugs found so far:

1. TouchAble won’t save preferences upon restoring again.
   If you save your Template with specific things, like in the mixer module choosing what sends to display, once it restarts everything goes to default so you’ll manually have to set ip up again.

Another reason why this is is very annoying, is for example if you add various device modules in the custom area and you set each one to control a different device on your set. You save the template, but once you load it again it’s all gone.
Having to deal with this pain everytime you load up touchAble is very frustrating.

2. There is a bug on the module “Devices” where the graphic layout of the devices gets bigger once you start to scroll.
   For example I have 40 tracks and for some reason Touchable will only display the device list for the first 24 tracks. It’s like it’s limited to only showing 24.
   There are also problems when scrolling tracks from inside the device module. The tracks will move when you slide across all tracks but the devices remain in the same position.

3. When chosing any track from the touchAble interface, Live will will change to the clip view on the current selected track, meaning you’ll lose focus of the device view.

Also regarding choosing tracks from the touchAble interface.
If the “Blue hand” is active, touchAble will always jump to the first device upon selecting a different track.

4. Clicking on the “editor” button will trying create a custom layout for a vst crashes touchAble.

These test were all made both on the latest 1.623 server and script versions, and also on the beta versions until 1.628.

More annoying bugs post it here guys.
Best regards!

Hi,

@AndreGM

TouchAble won’t save preferences upon restoring again.
If you save your Template with specific things, like in the mixer module choosing what sends to display, once it restarts everything goes to default so you’ll manually have to set ip up again.

Just tested and found the reason for this issue. The Editor only stores the current template on unfolding the bottom bar (close Edit Mode).

On reconnect the current template will be restored. This step is needed to reassign set and device parameters. Unfortunately it causes the mentioned problems.

The next beta will store the current template every 10 seconds automatically.

Another reason why this is is very annoying, is for example if you add various device modules in the custom area and you set each one to control a different device on your set. You save the template, but once you load it again it’s all gone.

Device selection is another cup of tea, and a more sophisticated problem. Currently the Editor will only work properly in combination with static Live sets, mainly because we point on devices and it’s parameters by finding their position inside the set. Adding/Deleting a Track or a Device will make touchable to fail finding the former appointed Device.

Unfortunately our script and the touchAble app bases on this principe of assigning devices.

To solve this issue, we would have to rewrite the Control Surface and big parts of the App. And point on unique device IDs (change with each restart of live) + and the location in the set, instead of just the location. The good news is, that this is already in the making but requires a lot of time.

I could reproduce the issue with the incorrect Device Button size, should be fixed within the next beta update.

The script attached should already do the trick and preserve the latest detail view.

Clicking on the “editor” button will trying create a custom layout for a vst crashes touchAble.

We are working on it, the behaviour should already be better in the upcoming update.

e App. And point on unique device IDs (change with each restart of live) + and the location in the set, instead of just the location. The good news is, that this is already in the making but requires a lot of time.

Glad to hear this Pascal
Going to test it and i’ll let you know.
Thank you!
