Thanks but no, I want to be able to manage my JS files' locations (I don't even have or want to be limited to a single 'jsextensions' folder)

Again, this seems like something that should be in the inspector for a JS object.

Hi I open an amxd into the editor, I have a js object holding a reference to a valid "foobar.js" file - how can I check its file (OS-level) location from the max editor? This would seem like a pretty basic thing to have in the inspector, but is not there... Thanks! and apologies if this is...

Hi Julien Not going to be able to help you with your last issue, but to build upon Bjorn's solution for the first fragment - in the interest of using the fewest objects possible, fyi you don't need that 2nd trigger (uzi gives you the index and bang already) and you don't need both arguments to the s...

This section might get reworked anyway, but the help doc on Freezing Max for Live Devices says: "Note that the device is not frozen immediately when you click the save button. It is frozen when you save it." I guess it should be: "Note that the device is not frozen immediately when yo...

Hi I work in Arrange mostly, and have been wanting a true play-from-last-play hot-key command for a long time now (so I can audition my edits in the same context as I first heard them). I've been trying to roll my own with the M4L Live API, and I finally got there... except since Live loses focus on...

Hey Andrew - Actually if it was returning absolute time, you *would* see 10 at bar3/beat3 at 60bpm (I assumed they were putting ms to the right of the decimal). But nevermind, I get it now - accumulated beats.... The mistake in the documentation and my running at 60 BPM, that combined to make it loo...

Hi Andrew That's funny, for me it's behaving as the documentation says - for example, at 60bpm, 10 seconds occurs at bar 3, beat 3 - and from there it returns a float "10." (not 3.3.0 or anything like that). I was mistaken about one of the bugs I initially mentioned - it *will* return the ...

Hi, thanks for getting back. Maybe I'm reading the API wrong, but according to the "m4l live ref objectmodel.maxref.xml" API doc, there's a Live object model Property "current_song_time" that you can get/set/observe - it returns a Float that represents "Live set play positio...

I’ve been playing around with making a “Play from Last Play Point” patch, and I notice that when you <get> the current_song_time Property, it only returns the full float if Live is running – if if Live is paused, it returns a rounded-off integer to the nearest second. Also, the numbers are based on ...

Hi Amaury Oh, OK - It seems more intuitive (to me at least) that if when you expanded a group track, it behaved kind of like any other track and looked like this (in other words, mixer params for the group and collapsed component tracks): http://www.brianales.com/image/HolderForExternal/groups.jpg T...

(Windows 8.0.4)
Not a huge deal, but you can't <ctrl> - click to center the pans on the Filter Delay audio device (as you can for instance, on the Resonator)

When you group tracks in session mode, you get all mixer controls (level, pan, sends, output routing etc.) for the group - but in arrange mode, you only get activation and solo.

Attended a Cycling demo of M4L (in its current unfinished state) in NYC last night. Just want to put the word out there - it's going to be incredible... not only can you inline a Max patch, a Max patch can call back to Live's track, transport, and instrument controls. I can only imagine the level of...

..fixed for me too in b17, all good.

In 8.0b12 Windows: 1. Drag a loop into a new set, 2. consolidate a portion of it (crtl-J) so the new sample is now in the temp\sample\processed\consolidate folder 3. audio quantize (I did 1/16, 100%) 4. undo the quantization – the new sample itself is now lost: clip reads “offline”, dialog box pops ...
