@shadx312 yeah found some interesting functions for automation like "begin_gesture", i think it was called anyway. but then they're not documented in the m4l object model. haven't messed around with them yet though. would be interested to see if/how they work. may be able to find what they...

haven't tried accessing the browser since the live 9 beta. thought the functionality had been added when i found a few new functions/properties in Application.View, but unfortunately not for m4l. last i heard it was kind of blocked in max for live, although it is definitely more accessible through t...

@Stringtapper what i said is perfectly correct! :P it does depend if you have "segmented patch chords" on or not. you can create segmented patch chords without the option turned on, as you perfectly described above, i never said you couldn't. just advising that you should try out both ways...

To select multiple objects you can click and drag over an area in the max patcher window. If you hold down alt while clicking and dragging you also select patch chords. So you can select numerous patch chords by holding down alt, then click and drag over a number of patch chords (no objects). With a...

This is turning into just plain Max tips, but just in case... You can make multiple connections with patch chords from one object to many others. After clicking on an inlet or outlet to create a patch chord hold down Shift, you can then click on many other objects inlets or outlets to create a patch...

@John is faster

The functionality changes if you have the "segmented patch chords" option on or not.

Turn it on from the Max application Menu Bar in the Options drop down menu and see if you prefer it on or off.

here's 4 ways of "observing" the highlighted_clip_slot id. they all do the same thing, but with varying amounts of [live.path] objects. the one you'd choose to use would depend on the rest of the programming. <pre><code> ----------begin_max5_patcher---------- 2218.3oc6b0sbZaDE9Z7SACW65Y+W6...

i wrote it out in a slightly long, or verbose, way to show how you can get numerous ids using [live.object] and [live.observer] with only 1 [live.path] getting the parent id. here's an example only using [live.path] objects: <pre><code> ----------begin_max5_patcher---------- 770.3oc2X90jaBBD.+YymBGe...

if you look in ableton's session view the highlighted_clip_slot is the clip slot between the selected_track and selected_scene. the only way to change the highlighted_clip_slot is effectively by moving the selected_track or selected_scene (if you change the highlighted_clip_slot it also changes the ...

have a look at this, will hopefully show what i mean. a way of "observing" the highlighted_clip_slot, without being able to observe it, heh. <pre><code> ----------begin_max5_patcher---------- 999.3oc6YssahCCD84vWQTdlEEeI2121uiUqPgDuf6FRPwFZ2V0+802Bk1JL tbwEVUUQSiia7YNyYlwi4oQAQy5dfvhB+d3OC...

ah i see what you mean! yeah was worried there'd be a big difference between s and mini, read into it and got the impression there wasn't. now i've seen that video i can see there is a difference, but as said in the video launchpad mini is still bright enough for playing outside in the sun. i haven'...

ah you're right, very weird.

the code i pasted above worked fine when i wrote it, but if i paste it back in it no longer works, then if i save the device it starts working again...

i think we may have found a bug...

launchpad mini is as bright as the launchpad s! at least it is much brighter than the old launchpad, and i think all the innards are the same between mini and s, just a different size.

yeah, i can't really complain about cpu usage too much, it's being pretty reasonable. the M4LC Hub patch i posted above has well over a hundred observers, and in this test version it's only observing the ids and properties of 32 tracks and 64 scenes, all in poly~ objects. will probably increase the ...

just tried a quick test, this is working fine for me: <pre><code> ----------begin_max5_patcher---------- 803.3oc6XlraaCCDF9r7SAgPO5XvEs1a44nnvfVhMgoxTFjzttMHu6kKRo1M vRLNNJoEAAQKjzb902vgyHc+rn3Us6YpXvmAeADEc+rnHWS1Fh5tOJdMceUC U4FVrf8i1U2EO22klsW6ZtokVuloT.XeWan5pa4haVJYUZuEPD3B3b.pvcJG aOhMWC9Z2ugW...
