Hello, I created this little patch for displaying simple texts in a screen. I need the texts to be triggered from within Live, so I did this M4L device which renders some 2D texts in a jit.window with jit.gl.render.

When I change the number of the text numbox manually it works fine, but when I try to automate this live.numbox it reacts in a very strange way; the number changes but there's no more reaction... I'm totally lost !

Try inserting [deferlow] after the numbox.

Or check 'Defer Automation Output' in the numbox inspector.

Defer automation output plus something with its refresh time ( i think its on default 1 ms ) turning that to 20 or 30 helps as well especially with non audio related functions.

Thanks so much for your help. I increased the update limit to 100 ms and it works fine !! I don't need a lot of timing accuracy for this texts.
