So I'm a n00b w/ Max, and I'm clumsily trying to build what I think is a very simple device that sends a MIDI CC at a specific value to a mapped parameter when on, and then a different MIDI CC at a specific value to a different parameter when off. I would like these parameters to be mappable to what...

I just got a Presonus Firestudio Project and I'm having trouble figuring out how to set up a Cue mix. I have been using a MOTU 828 mkII for the past several years and it finally bit the dust so I bought a Firestudio on ebay to replace it. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to assign the head...

Thanks for your answer- I have a feeling you are correct. After messing around with the Python code for a few hours this afternoon it seems like LED feedback is simply dependent on whether or not the button is toggle or momentary, it has nothing to do with anything that is happening in the live set ...

I'm modifying Myr's NanoKontrol MIDI Remote script for use with my trusty old NanoKontrol V1 and I'd like to try and get some basic LED feedback for the lower buttons when used as clip launchers. i don't want anything fancy, just to have the LED on when a clip is playing and off when it's not. I can...

I've had a similar issue lately, I solved it by using a new USB cable. I'm not sure exactly what the issue was since I tried the cable that had started working intermittently with my Push with other devices and it seems to work fine when connected to, say, my printer, but whenever i swapped back to ...

I'm trying to modify Myr's NanoKontrol script (http://monome.org/community/discussion/5510/x) so that I can refine some of it's functionality to my own needs. I am having a bit of a hard time figuring out how to do this- Ideally what I'd like to do is to be able to hold down the shift/modifier butto...

Apologies if this question has been asked before, but I'm wondering if there's a way to save my custom Push startup state- For instance I always change the Workflow to "clip", the input quant to "on" and 1/16th note, etc. It's all pretty minor, but rather than do this every time ...

My trusty Presonus FireBox interface no longer reliably works with OS 10.8, so it's time to replace it with something else. This is strictly for my live performance/traveling laptop, not my main interface so it doesn't need to be feature-packed or have absolutely pristine sound quality, I've got a n...

Thanks for the reply- I don't really notice the disk activity light flashing very often. I've got most of my projects and samples on fast external drives so that doesn't seem to be much of a problem for me. Plus I use a lot of hardware, partly just because I like hardware, and partly to relieve some...

Backstory: I've got a couple less than new machines (a 2009 2.16ghz Core2Duo MacBook Pro and a 2.66ghz Core2Duo iMac) I'm finding that my recent love of Max For Live devices has pushed my sets into unstable territory. Audio tracks starts dropping out and crackling and the GUI starts becoming very sl...

Max N00b here, starting to get a little more involved in building devices. About a year ago I build a fantastically messy and crude editor for my DSI Tetra. It's simple but it gets the job done. Now I'd like to improve upon it a bit, specifically I'd like to add bi-directionality to it (not 100% sur...

Just because they ran out of stock already doesn't mean it hasn't been officially released! 8) And yeah, as one of the "anonymous" ableton users, I just preordered mine through a retailer back in January and it was shipped out when the first shipment hit the shop a week or two ago. It is s...

It's near the bottom of the 1st post:

I'm wondering if it's possible to use the controller to select only certain notes in an Instrument clip to be quantized like you can in Drum Seq mode. Seems like in a non-Drum Rack track, quantize is an all-or-nothing process. EDIT- for some reason I thought you were able to select specific drum hit...

when using my sustain pedal with live i can confirm: live mode: port 1: pedal outputs cc 64 (127 when pressed, 0 when not pressed), midi channel 1. the pedal acts as a sustain pedal when live is in note mode. port 2: pedal outputs cc 69 (127 when pressed, 0 when not pressed), midi channel 1. right ...
