Nooo, I was about to buy Tela, but it’s Mac only 
Any chance it is coming as VST3?
The setup is rather vanilla. Just adding Pivot to an empty project in Logic. macos 12 and macbookair m1. The only specific thing being that the buffer size is set to 32 samples. Might be a framework thing but I have a good range of plugins which pass the test.
Gotcha.
The plugins I’ve tried here that I know are using JUCE all exhibit the same auval response, e.g Baby Audio, Valhalla, AIR… Looks to be a JUCE thing to me. (To be clear, the issue you are having is probably due to a bug in my own code that I’ve pinned down! The rest of the “violations” are from JUCE)
auval and juce plugin validators do not find UI bottlenecks as of JUCE design that become only noticable at high load.
Question regarding Opal : is it possible to copy/paste the sound/preset of an instrument from a pattern to another?
By the way, when I was using the light version of Pivot, I encountered the fact that at some points there was an incorrect shift that had to be corrected using DC offset.
I believe the copy operates per pattern. You can however save a preset from each track and load on different patterns etc.
That can happen with phase modulation, but it’d be good to see an example to determine if it’s an error or not.

A Fors groovebox/workstation type of app for iPad would be cool. 8 tracks with the opal sequencer. I’m not really into iPad apps for music but this would be something I would probably buy just for that. It would be the closest thing to having Fors hardware.

I think a Nintendo switch sequencer groovebox app would work great
Two analogue sticks, very timing-friendly buttons + touch screen seems like more than enough to get something lively going if the interface and mapping possibilities are well thought out. I’m imagining the sequencer on the touch screen and Octa-type quick switching between trigger modes to alter the functions of the buttons/sticks
You could maybe use some online transfer thing to get samples on it. Not sure Nintendo would allow it but since the switch has a USB it should technically be able to do MIDI stuff too. Main downside is that the device sounds quite thin.
There’s a KORG Gadget app for switch I haven’t tried but it seems based around piano roll composing 
An Opal-esque groovebox AUv3 on iPad that can be seamlessly loaded into Ableton Live to finish a track would be something of a holy grail.

Alternative firmware for the Model Cycles, so that it sounds a bit like the Dyad and retains its functionality (FM crossmodulation, random, etc.). Even if this means losing tracks.

Ditto as a Syntakt ‘machine’. …I’m just being silly.
Interesting - I tested it again, and if I move Opal to another monitor or shrink Ableton’s window and place Opal beside it, then I can drag samples in.
So it looks like every time I drag a file, Ableton just pushes the Opal window behind its own window, which makes it seem like Opal disappears.

Re: the Opal window thing– looking at the release notes there is no mention of changing how the windows are handled, so this is likely a bug in Max for Live. I’ll report it and hope for a fix soon.

window flags float, window exec → msg to patcher makes it keep in front, all windows without the flag get pushed to the rear as soon another window gets focus. Thats not a bug.
Yes, but the behavior when you drag a file from the Live browser seems to have changed (in regards to the window) though. Windows with the float flag (which Opal has) have typically always been on top unless you moved to a different application, but in 12.3 this has changed where dragging a file from the Live Browser makes the window disappear.

would be interesting to see what exactly the ‘sytem clipboard’ is showing while dragging on mac now. There is a developer tool called ‘Clipboard Viewer’ which lets you see what is written into it, and in the past Ableton had its own mechanism avoiding the system clipboard by entry of a cryptic live ID that is meaningless for other apps making use of drag&drop between processes (windows). Can be they finally changed it to something properly system compliant, in that case drag-drop between win-handling the old way would certainly need to be altered.
heureka… can it be the drag&drop from ableton engages a floating window flag themself, in that case your window gets pushed down the drain of responders as a new one is now on top… isn’t it.
Big thanks for checking this out

- Fixed an issue where samples could not be dropped from the Session or Arrangement View onto plug-in windows as expected.
