Hey im on Live Suite 12.2.2 with the bundled version of Max and Paramorpher will lose the presets i save into it seemingly randomly :( i hope this project is still maintained because its such a useful tool in my current project! except that it keeps loosing the presets. When you shift+click to save a preset in one of the little boxes, and then the box turns a color to show that a preset is saved there.... after a few restarts of Ableton suddenly the boxes will be white again and my presets are lost. I hope it can be fixed!!

Hi, Thanks for making this!
I am having a problem that i think comes from a midi feedback loop, but then the device behaves strangely in another way also.
I am using the TR-8S over 5pin MIDI, i am not sure if this impacts the behavior of the device somehow.
One problem i have is that when i playback the arrangement with automation the playback of the TR-8s becomes slow ad stuttered, as if its clock has gone crazy. if i erase the automation, it plays fine again. the slowdowns seem to coincide with automation events. (other max devices i se for external synths do not have this problem in my setup)
The other problem i am having is that when i set the TR-8S to have RxEditData = ON and TxEditData = ON (send and receive midi CC from/to all the controls on the tr-8s), and after i have successfully mapped the tr-8s knobs and sliders to the controls in the max device, then when i turn a knob on the drum machine all the way back and forth, the corresponding control in the max device only changes by 2 or 3 values. also, the sound of the drum machine follows this same 2 or 3 value change in the parameter, not the control knob of the TR8S.
When i turn off RxEditData, then the controls in max respond just fine, but then the TR8S cannot receive the CCs to play them back.
I hope i explained that clearly.
my settings are the following:
Ableton midi device: IN (track, remote = ON) OUT ( track, sync, remote = ON)
Midi input channel on ableton midi channel: 10
monitoring: off
the max device is placed 1st and then an External Instrument device is added with midi output channel 10
TR-8S settings that i think are important:
temposync: midi
sync out: off
RxStartStop: ON
device id:17
omni: off
Pattern Ch:10
Kit ch: 1
USBmidiThru: off
SoftThru: off
Tx Prog change: off
TxEditData=On
Txnudge OFF
Rx prog change OFF
Rx Edit data = ON
LocalSW=ON
Thanks a bunch once again, sorry for the long write up, i hope someone knows what im doing wrong!
