I got the same error message, and the sudo terminal command didn’t fix it. I remembered to check settings and tick “Allow apps downloaded from anywhere” under the Security and Privacy tab, and it works now. This is probably an obvious one, but just in case anyone else gets the same error, this could be the reason.

Hi @ithkaa is it possible to increase the ramp time >1sec. I am trying t achieve more linear fades. (M4L version) Thanks

@ithkaa sometimes attack detection on GoL works only sometimes – lots of times it just wont & im relying on that funtionality >> . any tip? threshold set small/tight - thanks!

ithkaa · 2020-07-07T08:44:02.807Z

… it depends on what instrument you’re playing. The incoming audio signal has to drop below a certain threshold before a new attack can be detected. Typically, percussive instruments are great for attack detection but f.i. vocals or string instruments not so much (unless some staccato is applied).

Anyway, I found that AD won’t trigger at all when the threshold is set to minimum so I fixed that. You can find the updated MacOS app on Github (don’t have a Windows machine here … will update that version later).

ah, makes sense. and thanks for the little update too.
i appreciate this, and all your work as a whole Ben!

Hey has anyone had an issue on MacOS Catalina where the actual window for Ultomaton doesn’t show up? The App starts fine but the window is nowhere to be seen. Thanks!

ithkaa · 2020-07-08T08:31:32.938Z

Happened to me too. I don’t know why this happens but the latest version seems to start up fine. I’m on a MBP 15’’ late 2013 (10.15.5) and have to wait about 30’’ for the app window to pop up.

I’m trying to launch this aswell but no main window. 30" (seconds?) doesn’t help. Am I missing something? Do I need Max installed (I have Ableton with M4L). I’m on Mojave, MBP 13" mid 2014.

ithkaa · 2020-07-08T11:13:42.426Z

Did you download the latest version?

vicimity · 2020-07-08T11:28:12.285Z

Yes. Downloaded again this morning just to be sure.

taylor12k · 2020-07-08T13:19:33.656Z

I pushed another update to github which might fix this. I’m not sure what the problem is here. Don’t have Mojave to check …

Edit: Just found out my wife’s MBP is still on Mojave (thought it was running Catalina). This version is opening and running as expected.

Hey @ithkaa is it possible to send Ultomaton midi cc out from Ableton ? ( Control external gear)

ithkaa · 2020-08-09T12:50:09.223Z

If you mean from the UltomatonM4L device … That’s not possible since it’s an audio device. Just took some time to convert it to a MIDI device, which allows for sending CCs out of ableton (set destination in MIDI track’s output type).

UltomatonM4L_v1.3_MIDIout.zip (39.9 KB)

Didn’t test it thoroughly but it should work. Let me know how it goes …

swhic · 2020-08-10T07:19:06.238Z

Thank you! I’ll test it and I’ll report back. Really appreciated.
