Hi!

I'm having a multimanager "call itself" at the end of the sequence to make a loop(or at least i'm trying). here's the breakdown:

MM1(multimanager with "multithreaded" flag checked)
mm2a - 60.0
mm2b - 120.0
mm2c - 180.0
mm2d - 240.0
mm2e - 300.0
mm2f - 360.0
mm2e - 420.0
mm2f - 480.0
mm2g - 540.0
mm2h - 600.0
mm1 - 600.00

(each "mm2" is a multimanager targeting 2 env_renders simultaneouly)

So when i trigger mm1, everything runs perfectly, but it never loops after mm2h fires like it's supossed to. i have "multithreaded" flag checked.

Maybe the system's case-sensitive. Try renaming MM1 to mm1.

A Multimanager cannot fire itself. have it fire a relay that targets mm1 or another mm that fires mm1. I use something like this in the CP maps i think.

Rim that is simply not true. I do it all the time and it works fine, but i'm willing to try anything to get it to work.

I will try your method right now!

Your method worked!

It dosn't explain why my mm wasn't working correctly, but who cares this works fine. maybe i'll do it this way from now on cuz it's cleaner?

It's at this point that i bow to you sir THANKIE!

You are just making it loop right? What's your initial problem?

no problem, i was just curious why the mm wasn't calling itself the way i've done it 100 times before. Maybe cuz there are so many targets it makes it a little buggy. (my friend mark says to never put more than 8 targets in a mm, but...)

I think its 16... I dunno, good question! Also it may have something to do with the Multithreaded flag, but that's another guess.

Either way, glad I could help.
