Midi loop_start / loop_end
Hi,
I'm making a midi device, that set the loop_start and loop_end of a selected midi clip.
Most of the time it works fine but sometimes I have an issue and error in the max console :
live.object: Cannot set LoopStart behind LoopEndlive.object: Changes cannot be triggered by notifications. You will need to defer your response.I understood that I need to defer low the loop_start while increasing the start position to avoid that the loop end get behind the start position.
What does I need to improve ?
You cannot set loop_start behind loop_end AND you cannot set loop_end in front of loop_start, which means the order in which you define loop_start and loop_end depends on if the new loop is before or after the previous one.
Also, [defer] is enough to avoid the second error message. [deferlow] can mess with timing too much.
Thank you TFL
I was working on the comparison method for the before / after.
I would have struggle to find the solution for the [defer] method.
Sometimes it doesn't set the start loop / end correctly.
But I’m not able to reproduce the issue
it's not a 100%
I think I found where the problem came from. I added a message {start_marker} to set an identical start time for both the loop and the start.
