I’ve not experienced any sync problems on Win 10 and Ableton Live 11.2. I just took a clip of setting up sync with 3 Scalers, and the would be leader picks up the other two immediately.
I’ve working with a test setup as under
An this seems to work fine; 2x scalers synced together; all three Scaler DAW synched to the host (Cantabile), and the host synced with MIDI Time Code from Live 11.2, running a copy of HYPE… all works well, although you do need to apply a few ms of track delay in Live.
What do you mean for “disabled”?
Looking at the screenshot, it has the same colour as the others around, so it seems selectable…
And, what version of Ableton Live?
If I remember well, the Lite (or the new Intro) version has limitations in instruments and effects, and maybe you are using more?
So, in my clip, was I doing essentially the same as your have tried, but your button didn’t get focus ? ?
As you saw on my clip. I didn’t press anything for Scaler to find the other two instances - that happened immediately after I pulled up the Sync window. The program must thus look for other instances as soon it is invoked, and if it doesn’t in your case, the rest of the button presses are probably a red- herring.
I’ve just tried it in Live, and that works ok, but there is a bug in Live I’ve just noticed.
In Cantabile (a VST host) the lead instance detects 2 other instances (correct). But in live, with the same three Scaler setup it detects 3 other instances, so there is something wrong with the count there. One for @Ed1 .
Scaler will find instances across host, did you have an extra Scaler running in a different host?
I did a few tests and it seems to work fine here in different DAWs.
@FretPilot when a Scaler instance is launched it notifies other instances, a part of this process writes files to disk. Maybe check if you have an anti-virus or other security software that could block Scaler from reading the disk.
d’Oh ! Yes. I assumed (clearly wrongly) that it would only detect other Scalers running in the VST host, not ‘system wide’ so to speak. When I ran it in Live, there was an instance sitting in Cantabile.
The policy came from some very abusive posters as well as spammers. I’ve been here so long i often forget that happens. Glad you got it sorted out. Enjoy Scaler!
