Fix AI suggestions when build fails

Goal: Turn a failed build after PatchAI edits into a working graph without starting over.

Time: ~10 minutes


Steps

  1. Click the build status on the toolbar and read the first error in the log (see Read build error messages).
  2. Open PatchAI on the toolbar and paste the error text: “Build says unwired obj on set color — wire target to clip.”
  3. Fix common AI mistakes yourself when faster:
    • Wire target or Song / Resources into obj inputs.
    • Use MidiClip notes for MIDI, not generic clip notes.
    • Move Show Dialog / Progress Dialog outside Transaction.
    • Split merged If/Else branches into duplicate final steps.
  4. For Resources actions (insert device, load sample), wire Resources → obj.
  5. Execute Command does not need a Commands context wire — only wire what the node docs require.
  6. Rebuild after each fix; repeat until status shows success.
  7. Build & Run and test one command in Live.

Expected result

Build succeeds. The graph matches Live behavior you asked for, with types and Run order corrected.


If something goes wrong

Problem What to do
Same error after AI fix Fix manually on canvas — hover ports for type hints
String compare error Replace string equality with numeric flags or restructure Branch
Color build error Clip color is an integer index, not hex
AI keeps merging branches Edit Run wires yourself per Core Concepts
Live works, build fails Rare runtime-only issues — still fix build before export
