Hi, great device !

Is it possible to store the keyboard size state in the next update ?

It is my default midi track, but I would like it to always be 49 keys by default, but it always comes back at 25, even in saved sessions, it's really frustrating.

And I can't access the patch in M4L as you prevented any change.

Cheers

Didn't realize that.
Will add this to the list for next update, in December.
thank you :)
Thanks a lot !

Come to think of it, I have another request, if I may : in sizes above 25, there's enough room to bring back the sustain pedal icon and or the wheels, that would be neat :)

I for one never use the floating window
Hi,

I noticed another bug in the device : sustain pedal changes are recorded as actions within Keyboard Monitor, and therefore as changes in Live's undo history.

For instance if I playback a midi clip with lots sustain pedal strokes, I'll have to do a whole lot of Undo to undo something I've done 10 or 30 seconds ago.

Cheers
@leifiju

there is an incoming v1.1.3 very soon that addresses some but not all of the things you mentioned here. Please don't despair, and thank you again for reporting these. We had to rush this v1.1.3 as a fix for a bug incredibly difficult to track where people would see the chord detector feature simply not working. At last we figured out it was M2TM transformer devices who were corrupting our program since it was somehow not safe-scoped.

P.S. I also really like the sustain pedal visualizer - great fun building it :)
