Thanks, got it now
Indeed something is wrong there.
It is due to the fact that you automate the start position with an lfo. For some reason (currently unknown to me) this causes the eSampler to stop sending other messages, so it cannot even send the videofile location to the EboSuite app, thus it stays black. If you turn off the lfo and turn it on again it works.
This sounds like one of the mysteries of max for live, but I am not completely sure yet. I cannot dive that deep into it right now, but I will note it for the future.
Oh and btw, if you use lfo’s it is better to to use my edits with the limit updates functionality (otherwise you send much more data to EboSuite than necessary), check them out here
For now I think it is best to replace the lfo with my edited version, only turn on the lfo when needed and be aware that when the lfo is active it might influence the behavior of the other parameters. Btw, it is also worth trying out if the combi eSimpler + Simpler works better in this use case (that’s often a better option if you don’t need the full feature set of eSampler).
Thanks for reporting and good luck
