Duplicating Cue Output

I duplicate my Main Output, so that when I'm on my Push3S I can output via the Analog outputs as well as over ADAT. I do this with a dedicated track whose [Audio From] is set to [Master] and whose [Audio To] is set to [Ext. Out] and the second hardware output I want to shadow the [Master]. Works ...

Re: Sending output to Push 3 standalone ADAT

Been screwing around with this for **hours** ... though I would post the specifics to maybe help others along this path.

I develop in Live on a PC for use in my WindSynth Rig, which has a Push 3 Standalone. I use that rig for broadcast and on-the-road shows.

Both the PC development system and the ...

Menu Choices Truncated

Is there a way to see the full text of a menu item on Push 3S?

I have a device (the Link receiver by Aodyo) that presents several devices that are named by Push as:
"Sylphyo Link Sylphyo Link DIN",
"Sylphyo Link Sylphyo Link USB Host", and
"Sylphyo Link Sylphyo Link"

I cannot distinguish ...

Re: Sending Raw MIDI


You could for instance use the [coll] object to store the data, with « store contents in patcher » enabled in the inspector. Sorry, no computer here for a few days.


Thanks for the suggestion ... but ...

Re: Sending Raw MIDI

Major drawback to my scheme (and the whole use of the [seq] Max4Live object): Ableton's [Collect and Save] process does not pick up the .txt file associated with each M4L device .

This means that I cannot safely store my patch objects in my User Library, since the [Collect and Save] (which I need ...

Re: Sending Raw MIDI

Moving forward. [seq] is the magic bullet. I've got it working on both Live / Workstation and Push 3S.

For my particular setup, I've hacked a small perl script to convert my ad hoc "TextMidi" format into the .txt format accepted by [seq]. Input looks like this:

Re: Sending Raw MIDI

Thanks Chapelier ...

Wrestling a bit with the visual programming thing ... coming from 49 years of text based languages.

So SXformat is cool, except that it * requires * your content to be SysEx, and my hardware (VL70) calls for a mix SysEx and CC commands. Using Message instead for the MIDI ...

Re: Sending Raw MIDI

OK, Glad I asked. Thanks for that ...

I just succeeded at exporting a Program Change command from Cantabile to a .MID file, importing that .MID into an Ableton Clip in Session view, and sending it to my VL70-m. It worked to change the patch appropriately on the VL70-m.

I cannot seen anything about ...

Cool. Thanks.

And you export from Midi-Ox to a .MID file, read that into a clip in Live, and have no issues sending that out to the device?

Sending Raw MIDI

I would like to send raw MIDI to an external device from MIDI clips in Live (both Workstation and Push 3S ). All the tools I have found related to Live seem to be GUI-based tools to make it easy for a given device, but I really just want to author the MIDI in Hex . Most of it would be SysEx, but ...

Deactivated clip do not play on Push 3S, so all is (sort of) OK. I've taken to deleting my deactivated clips before copying to Push, because they're pretty confusing since there is no visual cue ...
