Hi, hope you can help - I am having trouble using live.text as a parameter control for choosing the strong beat in 5/8 - essentially the attached patch filps between 3 and 4 as the only selectable elements, but only one at a time. This works fine, but for some reason whenever the patch is saved and / or reopened it reverts to 3. Please can someone tell me why this is? Ideally it needs to remain on the last selection...

I wouldn't trust this patch with it's self trigger mechanism...

You might use sth like this, where you simply either define the default state in the inspector or save the desired state as a preset....

Thanks Kleine, yes you are right, that was a crappy solution. Thinking on, I should have just used the live.tab object - much easier!
