I can't seem to get MIDI note data to send from the app to Ableton. I can play the keys using my synths in standalone mode, but I can't get MIDI track data to work in Live (9.0 + 9.1 OS X 10.9, 2.0.1 client) I have 'Track & 'Remote' on for touchable's MIDI settings and touchable remote script ha...

i think he means dynamically. i think you have found the workaround we would suggest. you add the effect on one track and use receive objects to get the midi to other tracks. take a look at stretta's suite for thisinstance and autofocus. he has worked out a fair amount of logic that does what you w...

I've been able to successfully send messages via a slave device that literally just funnels a [r ] object to midisend. Pretty dumb. I can't help but feel they dropped the ball in some spots. Sending midi to an arbitrary track/device seems like a pretty basic feature to have in a MIDI centric DAW (un...

I don't how to go about doing what I want to achieve and am looking for some guidance. I have a controller, a Korg padKontrol, that I have a working m4l device for. What I want to do is observe the active track and have the controller change how it works based on the instrument in that track. So if ...

I was going to wait until this was polished before I shared, but what the hell. Here's an early preview of some stuff I'm working on in M4L. This is basically two things. 1) A M4L device that is a modification of some publicly available Max patches for the Korg padKontrol. Max handles talking to the...

The problem with Js is there is no concept of includes and my source file quickly got way out of hand for a basic patch, and I anticipate this next one to be much more advanced by several orders of magnitude. But I'd suggest you look at our very own Tom Swirly's use of Make in this context, which i...

And yet another advancement, You can progamatically call any Live object without using outlets. Here's a simple example where I have a [live.object ] with the script name of "live_set". It's live.path is set on load to 'live_set'. MaxPatcher myPatch = getParentPatcher(); MaxBox liveAPI_set...

To follow up, I've come up with a stupidly easy way to send messages to Live from Java. I basically create several different outlets in my main class and give them easy to remember labels using static ints. (I remember Java get enum but they're nothing like my beloved C ones so this works for me) pr...

I'm still a beginner when it comes to Max. I wrote a basic patch for my Korg padKontrol using mostly js last summer. I'm working on a complete patch in M4L to turn my padKontrol into a full fledged Live controller. I'm a veteran programmer and would be 100 times more productive writing everything in...

You can download my JunoControl patch to see an example of how I overcame this. http://www.neilbufkin.com/Neil_Bufkin_2.0/Neil_Bufkin___News/Entries/2010/2/18_Juno_Control_-_MaxForLive_Patch_for_the_Roland_JUNO-106.html I hope this helps. I tried following your instructions but I'm confused by step...

I've gotten data sent back and forth using sysex by processing it all in a small patch and using the [s ] and [r ] objects... Seems I was wrong. This only works in live preview mode. As soon as you close the patch in Max the device stops receiving messages using the [r ] objects working. Oddest thi...

I've gotten data sent back and forth using sysex by processing it all in a small path and using the [s ] and [r ] objects, but I think a limitation is that you need Max running your other patch. I've tried exporting as a .app and the message sending no longer works. Any one know how to do this if it...

Never mind. After restarting the app and changing the prefs in Ableton everything started working all of sudden. This is pretty damn cool btw, great job.

This looks really cool. Question though, how do you get the rest of the machine to ignore the remote? I keep getting iTunes and Front Row getting in the way. Also I don't seem to have anything coming up on the LED. Let me just verify. In TranzPort under MIDI 'To host' is set to 'from TranzPort 1' an...
