SetBFree rotary sometimes does not respond to controller

I’ve noticed that sometimes when loading a sub-snapshot, the setBFree rotary control does not respond to the midi controller assigned to that control. If I select the chain, it then responds, but this could be problematic in the middle of a gig when I have to switch between songs quickly.

I recently rebuilt my main gig snapshot by exporting chains out of my old master and merging them into a new snapshot, which seems to have resolved some of the issues with chains not loading correctly in response to sub snapshot loads. I’m just wondering if I perhaps need to start completely over from scratch, or even start with a new clean build of Oram.

Any thoughts on how to make the sub-snapshots load more reliably? Do you recommend starting over from time to time if you’ve been making a lot of edits to the chains in a snapshot?

Thanks in advance!

There are 2 types of MIDI learn:

  • Chain MIDI learn: One click. The MIDI learn legend in the control widget turns Green. Chain learned controls are bond to active chain. In this way, you can learn the same knob to several parameters from different chains and the knob will control only the active chain.

  • Global MIDI learn: Click twice. The MIDI learn legend in the control widget turns yellow. Global learned controls are bond no matter the active chain.

This is explained in the User Guide:

Perhaps it could be explained with greater detail :wink:

Thanks @jofemodo. I will try reassigning the controller using the Global MIDI learn method, as I imagine it might have to do with whether or not the setBFree chain is the active chain.
