Massive X 's ANIMATOR destroys ableton undo history.

Daru925 · 2025-07-31T11:57:22+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Enabling animator makes the undo stack constantly update and refresh, meaning, if its activated, i can't undo ANYTHING ELSE in my project because the stupid animator refreshes all the time clogging the undo pipe constantly LOL

Quite the oversight, otherwise neat design.
Hope you can fix that thanks.

How could it not add to the undo history without removing the ability to automate and record XY movements? Maybe there is a way to exclude some things in Live? I just tried with another plugin that has a similar (although more powerful) feature - Korg Modwave, and it does the same

OK now Rob Papen Blue 3 also does this when moving/animating the XY - but with Blue 3 it only registers anything in the undo history when record is enabled. So maybe that would be one way to address this? But Blue seems to be an exception - no param movements are undoable unless recording is on - some people could object to that

For instance molekular does a similar job, but doesnt clog the undo history…
The only workaround now is to draw curves manually. (fine by me)
I will contact ableton about this too, see who is "at fault". jk

With Molecular it seems to update the undo history when you manually move the XY but not when it is animated. I agree that might be a better approach to separate out the 2 things.
