Hi all,
We wanted to bring to your attention an official issue we have in XP, which you may have encountered or might encounter in the future.
Regrettably, XP devices cannot be grouped or incorporated into macros. This useful feature is currently incompatible with XP devices and, even more concerning, it can lead to disruptive system problems. Thankfully, only a small number of users have experienced this issue thus far.
As you are aware, XP devices automatically rename tracks in real-time upon insertion, and these names are utilized throughout the architecture. However, it appears that when creating a macro with m4l devices in Ableton Live, the devices are reloaded, causing the instancing of XP devices to break and resulting in a complete change of track names.
To go around this problem, we advise against using macros with XP devices. Then in your workflow you have multiple ways to reproduce macro behavior, so we believe it is not a “too bad” problem
Please remain mindful of this limitation while working with XP. We greatly value your contributions to the ongoing development of XP, and we are dedicated to making continuous improvements on a daily basis while maintaining a humble approach and a keen awareness of areas that can be enhanced.
Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support.
