Unpredicatable Mouse Movements

I am using MT to change the routing on Abelton.

The problem is that when I set the mouse to move down - The results aren't always predictable.

The only way I can get round this is slowly manually move the mouse position every time before I use the re-routing routine - which seems to sort of flush out the system and then produces fairly predictable results.

Any thoughts gratefully accepted.

It would be great if I could get this to work as it has always been anoying that you can't automise the patching in Abelton.

cheers

Hi Richard,

sorry for the late reply.

I wasn't aware that the mouse move actions leave the mouse in an unpredictable state. Using mouse movement is tricky, because it will use the settings for acceleration and speed. Will it work to use absolute mouse positioning as outgoing action? You will have to find out once the exact pixel coordinates, but then it should work reliably, provided that the Ableton window is always at the same position (e.g. maximized).

Let us know.

Thanks,
Florian
