http://www.theimpersonalstereo.com/max-externals/ These objects are a re-implementation of the standard Max MIDI objects using a cross-platform MIDI library (RtMidi). This means that you can use them in Max For Live devices to access the system MIDI ports in an unrestricted way. And…. you can get Sy...

Could I ask what problems you have with DMaX? I'm currently working on the new version and would appreciate your feedback.

You need to set your patcher to open in presentation mode. To do this, launch the Max editor, select View>Patcher Inspector, then find the option 'Open In Presentation' and check the box.

OK, does this happen only with DMaX plugins or with other types of Max For Live devices? Do other devices that use Jitter have similar problems?

That's interesting. Can I ask what your machine spec is?

If you make any new device modules please send them to me so I can put include them in the package. I want to support as many dmx fixtures as possible.

No, I mean being able to use an API command to write a value for a parameter into the automation lane at a certain point in the arrangement.

Does anyone know if you can use M4L to write parameter values to automation lanes?

If you want high quality audio shifting, have a look at these externals:

Something I didn't realise for ages with Max is the significance of message ordering. The trigger object is the most important thing in the world. Always think about the order in which things are going to happen, and whether each object will have the right information at the point at which it does i...

http://www.maxforlive.com/library/device.php?id=212 This is a relatively simple patch designed to allow DMX control of Ableton channel levels and clips. You can link the value of a DMX channel to the value of an Ableton channel fader, and also set a clip to automatically start and stop when the val...

I swear zl is the most useful object in the whole of max. I've spent ages before building abstractions to deal with lists only to find that zl has yet another mode that does exactly the same thing only better.

When you prepend 'set' to the message 65, you turn it into a list. pak can't deal with lists in the input. However in this case adding set to the message is not required. Try removing the prepend object.

I've worked it out, thanks for the hint! <pre><code> ----------begin_max5_patcher---------- 487.3ocyUFraiBCDF9L7TX4yoUXHjP5stO.6o81ppJGXZh6B1QXS2rspu6kY HnRaCMT1HTEBCdFK6+4aFa+juGesYOX4rqX+l448jumGYBM3cnuGuPtOMWZo gwSMEEf1wm03yA6cj8eUJS+C6mUEqgxqZ8dmQ6zxBfFw0kJYdqGcUgRmCNZR EuZzT4ZsFbv5NoKcqRu41RH00...

Something I can't seem to work out how to do in the LOM. How can I find out the number of the track that a max device is running on?
