OK RadioOnMars, I've been working through your example patch you sent me. I understand everything except the final step, where live.object gets updated with either a 0 or a 1. I'm super new to the Live API, so forgive me that these are probably reallllly dumb questions, but: 1. live.object gets fed ...

Here's my quick attempt. I didn't mess with any of the API stuff, I thought it would be more efficient (and easier) to just assign each device an ID on startup, and then query all other IDs. If there aren't any other devices, it will alert you that it's using the initial state. If there are other d...

the beatseeker device uses a "check if another instance of the same device is loaded somwhere else in the set already" method. Let me know if you need. and you're this local messaging [send ---myMessage] ? (I don't quite follow why the initialize problem happens) I got that patch from the...

Unpopular needs right here: Is there any way for pattrs to work more globally? I would really like to access values from one instance of a device through a second instance's interface.

How about if you made a check that looks to see if another of the same device is already loaded. If not, then initialize state 1, if there is, then don't initialize state 1, and the coll remains as you set it in the previous device. That sounds exactly like what I need to do, but I have no idea how...

That global send idea has got me thinking. The challenge is, I want device 2 to initialize in state 2. Not sure if I made that clear.

Hi all, I am curious if anyone can help me sort this out. I have a device that contains at its heart a coll. This coll should always start out a certain way for usability (e.g., "state 1"), but will change dynamically (e.g., state 2). The coll state gets saved by a pattr as blob storage an...

I've found that Live at stop sends an All-Notes-Off message (CC123). Broc, thank you so much!! This totally pointed me in the right direction. My patch does some super dumb MIDI routing stuff and the 176, 123, 0 message was getting stuck in the pipes and spewed out into every MIDI signal from there...

I should also clarify that my device only processes MIDI, and the instruments I'm using are Live instruments.

Also, thanks, broc. I will check into the possibility that that CC message could break my device.

If it was a simple note-off, it would trigger the release envelope of the instrument, but it actually cuts off the release envelope (i.e., all notes that are ringing are truncated). That's why I'm thinking it's something else.

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on this bug in my MfL Device. Essentially, when I hit the stop button, MIDI feeding through my device no longer triggers the release envelope of the instrument it is controlling, making everything sound short. The only way to repair this is to d...

Hey chaz11, The custom .csv tuning feature of Retune for Live looks like it would do exactly what you're trying to do. http://www.maxforlive.com/library/device/3068/retune-for-live Youtube tutorial on how the .csv works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gU5ZlJJGGLY A general tutorial of Retune for Li...

Hey PHY6, I did notice that the explanation of the scale is not saved. I am troubleshooting that now. Hopefully the functionality of the tuning is remaining in tact for .scl files when you reopen. I can't reproduce the other bug you mentioned where you save a session with a tuning from the drop down...

Just uploaded some demo videos:

New in v 1.0 http://youtu.be/DLxzQpODVJg

Create your own .scl files http://youtu.be/I2PXnoDX1ns

Create your own .csv files for RfL https://youtu.be/gU5ZlJJGGLY

Yes it does - major improvement! Thanks for your interest in v0.9, PHY6. I think you'll enjoy v1.0 a lot more!
