Saving live.gain~ Value

Wes's icon

Hey all!

I want to be able to set the value of a live.gain~ object, save the patch, close it down, then have it retain that value when I reopen it. Although the "Initial Enable" mode is good for when I know what the fader level should be permanently, it's not exactly what I'm looking for. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Wes

One other issue... What if I wanted to store the value of a live.gain~ object that's within a bpatcher? I can't seem to make that work either with the pattr family of objects in the bpatcher patch or the parent patch. Any ideas?

Nope.

All of the basic things having to do with pattr/pattrstorage/preset/m4l are preposterously difficult to do. Its at least twice as difficult when you throw bpatchers into it.

My problems is even simpler. When I use live.numbox's and other live. devices, they save the parameter value, but never output the value when you reload the live set. You have to go by and twiddle every one of them. Even though Parameter Mode is enabled.

Is there a live.thisdevice type command that tells when the patch has been reopened in a Live set?
