Plugin version 1.1.0
Rack 1.1.6
MacOS X 10.11.6

The DO modules seem to not work at all in MacOS X.

I have Clocked (Impromptu) with main clock and 3 divided/multiplied clock outs into the 4 ins at the top. None of the DO modules see any input being connected, but the panel seems non-functional, in that no dots can be clicked, it sticks with all channels saying N/C and no obvious way to get anything to happen. I have to conclude that the Mac version seems broken.

If there is anything else I can give you to see what might be going on then let me know, please.

I can't think of anything else you can give me. When you say that you can't click on the dots. You need to click and drag up and down, like a knob; is that what you are doing?

Tried, I can manually set the buttons on left of each channel manually (right click to enter value) to any of the incoming gates, after that nothing else seems to work. Dragging/turning/clicking, all I can get going is map incoming to the knobs/buttons/whatever they are on the left of each channel manually....

That is as far as I can get, no output.....

From the picture it looks as though you've not connected the output ports to the output of any gates. All the output port dots (along the bottom) look to be black. Connect them to the pink/purple gate outputs

I'm glad its working. I'll try to improve the manual.

I found it very intuitive. I don't understand why you need to right click to do things, you should be able to do it all from the panel. It wouldn't make sense for the output node of the logic to be automatically routed to the output ports as the beauty of this modules is that the logic sections can be chained and fed to one another.

I've never use the stoermelder micromap, so I don't know how it represents things. The connections and gate are not measured in volts, so I don't know how they map. For the dots, the numbered values should be 0-5 for the input ports, then 6 is the output of the first gate, 7 the next gate etc. The gates are just numbered from 0 upwards.

The left dots and the bottom dots should all respond to dragging up and down. But they do go at different speeds because there are fewer options near the top of the device. I hope to make them more consistent.

I am sorry you found it troublesome. Feedback has been mixed, some people found it intuitive, but you are not the only one who didn't.

It seems odd for automation tools to work in terms of volts for the parameters. That really confuses me, because parameters have arbitrary ranges, whereas inputs and outputs have traditional voltage ranges.

I didn't design it with performance in mind. I might be able to add a preset option, so you could save several configurations and switch between them with a single click, or maybe a keypress.
