Afterwards I was not able to change volume values. Seems to be that the screen was frozen. As you can see some bottons were marked.
Does anyone know what happend with the VST live app?
I needed to restart VST live to become able to change something.
I did not realized that I did something special. Maybe I activated a special modus of VST live. If so it would be good to know what happend.
I would like to prevent such situations in a live-gig.
If I maybe activated a special modus of VST live by accident, it would be great if VST live could help me to understand what happend (maybe a label which shows the name of such a modus". Futhermore it would be great if it would be possible to navigate back from such a modus.
We played yesterday with our band a song and switched to the next song.
One last tone from the previous song one single brass tone continued playing which was not expected from my side.
Then I wanted to press the panic button on my small notebook to stop sing tone which was played in an endless loop.
Unfortunately the size of the panic button is very small and my live-notebook is a small convertable notebook with touchscreen. Howevery I had stress becaus of the tone and it seems that I hit the learn button which very close to the panic button.
Result the tone continued playing.
Only after my second trial I was successfull to hit the panic botton.
2 improvement proposal:
Would it be possible to make such an important button for PANIC a little bit bigger?
Below please find a picture which shows the relation between the small button and my fingers.
Would it be possible to make in the screen that the “learn mode” is activated?
Are there any recommendations how I could prevent that in the future tones from a previous song still continue playing in an endless loop? (I am a big fan of the panic button but want to prevent to use this button live in the future on live shows).
I’m not sure, if VSTL does or does not send a MIDI “all notes off” command with song change/end. If not, I think this will be a good idea. Even with part change this might be good. But I’m not aware, if there are situations, which contradicts such a behaviour.
Thank you @falfango + Felician (@fkalmus) for your fast and helpful feedback.
I am not so detailed involved but I love the feature to play a chord in the old song and switch to the new song in parallel the chord is sill continued to play. After I take my hands up from the keyboard the chord from the previous song stops playing and with the next key the sound from the new song are used. This is an excellent functionality which I really love. Therefor it would not be helpful to stop all tones by switching to a new song. But from my point of view it looks like that there migt be a little room for optimization to prevent such midi accidents that a tone is unless played and need to be stopped via midi panic after switching a song.
There is an action for that (Devices/Actions and Shortcuts/Application/MIDI Panic). You can assign a keyboard shortcut, or a MIDI command (Learn), or both.
