   Hi, just posting some Lividstep bugs. Also, if there are any workarounds that would be great to know.

   First, I really like Lividstep. I want to be able to use it live, without looking at my laptop. One of my issues is that if you sequence out anything in LS, then save the file- all your sequencing will be gone when you re-open the file. Every LS device will be filled with 8 steps. However, the note values are saved. Any way to add the on/off note value in the saved information as well?

   Then, as if this wasn't jarring enough (8 instruments hitting every note!); when I go to start over again and recompose my work something strange happens. For each step triggered within LS, the device being played plays twice instead of once. Two bass kicks, two snare drums, etc for each step.

   It's weird, and I find once this bug has occurred- it stays like that. Even if you see it happen inside your set and then decide NOT to save, it will do this when you re-open this file. A new ableton live set, with fresh instruments and fresh instances of LS gets rid of this problem.

   Any help? Is LS continuing to be worked on at all?

   An update to step was posted just a few days ago, so, yes, it's still active! When did you download step?
   I'll look into the mutes saving issues. I haven't seen the double triggering problem yet - if you can figure out a way to reproduce it consistently, let me know. If you can, send me the .als to pete at lividinstruments dot com.

   Sorry for the late reply. Yes, the morning after I posted this I saw that there was a new blog post. Good timing, right? Haha.

   I must have the "older" version. I'm going to download the new version today and use that. That won't effect the songs that I have already made, right? I wouldn't think so, but you never know.

   Looking through the files, I it seems that only Operator instruments are effected. However, it didn't effect ALL songs I've used Operator instruments for. Any songs that I've been serious about working on seem to be fine for now, so I'm not sweating it. It's just... weird.

   Anyways, thanks for the great instrument!

   No, I doubt it would affect the songs already made. I suppose to avoid the worst case scenario, work from a copy of your .als file, and keep a version of the old lividstep handy.
   Makes no sense to me that only Operator instruments would be affected. LividStep doesn't make any distinctions about what it is sending data to!
