CodeGriid Problems

Joshi

Hello everybody,

I just got my new code and wanted to combine it with my ipad. The problem is, that on the first time it worked just fine but then code did strange things with the midi-settings. I got just a frame of 4x4 clips in ableton, the rotaries are mapped with no order and sense and the five Buttons on the left side won't work. If i move the frame from griid, the code-frame moves with it, but the rest... In the midi-settings in abletons options i chose griid as controller with the griid-connector and the code with the codegriid-template that i downloaded here.

Do i have to connect the controllers in any special order? Are there some things to add in the python-files? A firmware Update?

Please help. Thanks a lot. Desperate Joshi

It should just work.  It might be helpful to see your log.txt file from Ableton's preferences....I can usually see from that any problems that exist in your setup.

i can find two log.pyc files in the ableton-programm folder. i don´t know which one do you mean? the one in the _framework folder in the midi-remote-scripts? I am not able to post the text of the file. Do you have to see special lines?

Sorry, the file I'm looking for is described here:

http://www.aumhaa.com/wiki/index.php?title=Log.txt

Joshi

Ok, now i found it. But the text in this file is too large to paste it in here. Do you need specific lines or is there a way to send you the whole file?

amounra

I sent you a message with my email address, you can send it there.

amounra

Looking at your log.txt file, everything looks fine.  I'm guessing that you need to reset the Code back to it's factory default settings via the Code editor application.  Have you tried that?

Joshi

OK, I tried to do that, but the editor seems to have some problems and doesn´t find the controller. I have attached the text of the MaxRuntime window. I can´t understand what that is telling me. Something with Java Runtime which is installed...

The editor shouldn't require JRE....I'm not sure what that is about.  You might try the web-based editor, though, it's a different thing altogether:

Joshi

I tried but it didn't work. I have no idea what to do. Is there anything else i can try? Is it easier to program my own script in Python or with max/msp?

amounra

It's hard to say re: the choice between Max or Python.  Using max may be simpler if you don't have prior experience with either, but it has it's limitations.  

In any case, it seems like there's a failure in your Max installation somewhere.  I looked at the errors in your first message again, Jasch Tools is the extension set that is requiring JRE.   It also appears that some other things are amiss.  It might be helpful to try reinstalling Max and see if that helps....no guarantees, but it couldn't hurt.  What OS version are you using?  Which Max version is installed?  Is Max working ok by itself?

Joshi

I reinstalled Max but it didn´t work. But what did work was just loading another liveset... I am not shure how that was possible but it worked and i´m happy again. :-)

Is it easy to get it to work together with touchable in the same way it does with griid? It has some features that i maybe want to use...

amounra

Griid is written with direct support for the Code script.  I doubt touchable would work in the same fashion unfortunately, since it doesn't contain the integration that Liine wrote for our Code controller.

Anyway, glad you got things working :)
