Ok, there must be some issue with the way I have monome size detection set up.

If u click anywhere in the grid, u can change the number of steps the sample spans, so if u click the first, then the 8th step (first, then last cell in a row) does it make the waveform span the full length? If it does then save your set and it should be good. If not, u can also try manually changing monome size to 128/ back to 64 in the setup tab which might reset the waveforms to the right length.

I’ll look into what might be causing this, but those are my best guesses at a temporary solution.

Did u create this set before u got the new monome by any chance?

#185

the physical reset helped in the moment, but didn’t save the change.

I did not create it before the monome.

all good, though. thanks so much for your work.

Hey there! I’ve been using re:mix for a month now and I just recently ran into a wall. I have a fairly large set where each song has a certain amount tracks that are are consolidated in the song’s respective group. I recently put re:mix into one of the groups and tried dragging some of the samples into re:mix so that I could do my thing, but it keeps saying that the file can not be found. But if I take a sample from a different folder, re:mix has no trouble finding it. I was just wondering if anyone could give me a heads up as to what the issue is. Thanks a bushel!

#188

the items in the menu say “file not found” when u drag a samples in? normally it should only do that when u load a set and a sample couldn’t be found. i’ll have to double-check my coding.

what is the file path for those audio files like? any weird characters?

#189

No weird characters whatsoever. I thought I had fixed the issue by saving any samples I cropped or consolidated onto my desktop, then dragging it from the desktop into re:mix. But when i open the project again after saving the set, it went right back to saying “file not found”.

#190

weird, never had that happen before. are u on windows or mac? also what version of max / live?

can u post a copy of the .flist file that’s saved with your set? (or pm me if u like)

#191

@elquinto I’ve been using my mk64 for about 5 years in windows 7 with max runtime, but recently made the switch to ableton and a macbook pro.

Great app so far; I’m able to upload samples and everything seems to be working fine. However, I do need to record a microphone audio input so that it gets automatically assigned to whichever row I choose and will start to loop (FYI, I used to use mash2.0 for this). I’ve inserted “input.amxd” onto blank tracks I want to record from, but beyond that I’m not sure what to do. What is meant by “buffer”? I thought I’d pm you, but maybe the forum is more appropriate since someone else might benefit from later.

Basically, can I get a step-by-step “quickstart” on how to record audio into a row? The readme file seemed a little slim on this sort of info. Thanks in advance! I may find myself using this quite a bit and if so I’ll be sure to donate…

#192

On the record panel you have your controls for recording live audio to loop. Simply hit the ‘go’ button on the panel and it should record.

Hi jasper_ryder, thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I’ve tried changing the recording options to “loop” (clicking it causes “loop” to be greyed out, which I assume means it’s engaged?) and hit go, but nothing happened. I tried with the audio track armed and still nothing… I’m sure I must be close but I’m missing something here…

Am I correct in assuming that the recorded loop will be assigned to a row marked “input 1” in the main re:mix window? This part also isn’t clear to me…

Thanks in advance!

#194

right, the recorded loop will be assigned to the rows marked input 1 (or input 2-8, depending on which recording slot i.e. “buffer” you recorded to) and don’t worry about the loop button. that enables endlessly looping recording mode which is probably not what u want.

u need to have the transport running for recording to work, and u may also need to mess with the track’s monitor option if you’re recording from a microphone (try setting it to in)

#195

Hi elquinto, thanks for the response… I’ve managed to record audio into a track apparently, since I can see it in the Arrangement View and play it back by scrolling back. However, I’m unfortunately still in the dark with how this all ties into the monome.

#196

Ok, actually I noticed that I need to be using the group amxd file as well as the input amxd file on the same track, not just the input amxd. Sorry, perhaps it seems obvious to others hehe. Regardless, I can’t get any audio recorded/assigned to the row marked “input 1”…

If it’s any help, now when I push a button in the “input 1” row of the monome, the lights flash from left to right very quickly in that row… (no audio). Any ideas?

#197

the group.amxd 's are just the outputs for the “groups”, and the input.amxd u place on whichever tracks u want to record. (they don’t need to be on the same track as the groups. u can place it on any track in live, or multiple instances on multiple tracks)

the << >> arrows on the input.amxd select which buffer to record to (input 1-8), so make sure it’s set to 1.

if the lights are moving really quickly on that row after recording, could be either you’re record length is set very small or you’re tempo is very high (or a combination of the two).

#198

Hi elquinto. Ok looks like I finally got it mostly working. I didn’t click “1” in the column on the right hand side of the “input” window, next to the input level. Looks like that got it working!

Quick question: I can see that it is seemingly possible to midi map to “go” function, but I was hoping to have this integrated into the monome. Has this been done and perhaps (again) I missed it? For example, here is how it’s done in mash2.0: pressing the “group” button on the monome’s top row for a group/row that doesn’t have any audio currently playing will cause the buffer to start recording into that row (the group button flashes indicating it’s recording). You can push the group button again to finish the recording, which automatically causes the recorded audio to start looping (the group button is illuminated but not flashing, as it normally would be when audio is playing in that group). Pressing the same group button again simply causes the recorded audio to stop. To re-start that audio, push the first button in the corresponding row, and to re-record into that row, hit the corresponding group button above (as described above).

Would it be possible to implement this? My setup will not allow me to click anything onscreen while playing live, and I’d rather record from to monome than from a midi device… thoughts?

ok, cool. btw the 1-8 switches should all be on by default when u first load the device, unless u already have an instance loaded somewhere in your set, in which case it’ll load with them off.

there’s a way to trigger recording from the monome on the 128/256, but on the 64 i couldn’t think of anything that would work with all the other controls. ideally you’re right, there should be some way to trigger recording from the 64. i’ll think about it some more.

#200

Hi elquinto. Thanks for looking into it some more. When I get a chance, I’ll send a modest donation your way - could you let me know how to go about doing that? Let me know if you manage to come up with a stable solution to record!

#201

@elquinto I seriously want to thank you for all your efforts with this amazing version of mlr! WOO!

I would love to be able to use this in a live looping situation for an entire show but I’ve got some snags that I cannot seem to figure out to help make this idea possible. I’m having no issues when I use re:mix’s live looping functionality; I just have some requests or suggestions I guess that would hopefully make my improvisational live looping performance more of a possibility.

I’m always maxing out all 8 available buffers and then pausing audio playback to take time to save and name each recorded buffer, then starting audio again with 8 fresh buffers to record loops into… If there was a way to press one button or something that would somehow save all recorded loops to a specified folder with a name of date and time it was recorded or something then that would speed up my workflow. IF there’s a way to do that while also not needing to stop audio playback then I think I might just explode with excitement. I understand limitations are within what my computer can handle, but I figured it was worth a shot.

I’d also like to be able to quickly delete mistakes I make when recording a loop and re-record into that buffer - preferably without needing to access the mouse or computer in order to do so because I like accessing my computer as little as possible (or not at all) during a performance. Midi learn for these requested functions would be perfect for me.

This patch is bitchin! Keep doin what you doin! Donations comin your way asap!

yvw. :relaxed:

thats definitely doable. i’ll see what I can do.

#203

Hi elquinto,
I’m wondering if it would be possible to have different quantization settings for different rows, instead of a global setting. I’m playing guitar while triggering the monome, and so the quantization is nice on some of the samples, but when comes time to really mash with other samples (playing simultaneously), I’d really rather that these ones not be quantized… can this be done?

#204

yeah, i can see per-row or per-group quantization definitely being useful, but right now it’s not possible. there’s only a global quantization.
