Re: Moving from PC to Mac - help needed please.

I virtualised my PC to a vmware fusion image. Great for dipping back into old sets if you missing something. Of course if you're keeping your PC no need.

Re: Moving the Session view port

Ah thanks I found the abstraction. I'm trying to replicate what it does in JS with this:

var lsv =new LiveAPI("live_set view");
lsv.call("set selected scene id " + lightNo)

Any idea what the correct sytax is?

Moving the Session view port

Has anyone got an example of how to view the session view to a specific scene? ie the normal viewport not the APC40's red ring.

Re: calling lock_to_device from M4L

Hi thanks for that, turns out I needed to run unlock_from_device before the lock_to_device for it to work and not give a syntax error. When locking this way I notice the blue hand doesn't reflect what is locked but I can live with that.

calling lock_to_device from M4L

Is it possible to call lock_to_device from m4l? looking at this http://hanzoffsystems.tech.officelive.com/_Framework_822/_Framework.ControlSurface-pysrc.html#ControlSurface.lock_to_device it seems to be looking for a device object as an argument. So I'm guessing this is why an 'id x' as an argument ...

Re: Global Record and Track Record Arm buttons not working-Live8

I've just had this exact same issue, I could hit global record, record a midi track for about a bar and then record would turn off by itself. It turned out the solution for me was unplug all my USB gear and my firewire interface (didn't need to restart Live) and then replug back in. I guess one of m...

Re: Using Live, Live

You can run 2 instances of live but I think most people take the convert to session view approach. Tom Cosm has made many tutorials about how to move your songs into one big performance set. http://www.cosm.co.nz/index.php?option=com_community&view=videos&task=video&userid=67&videoid...

Re: using M4L to convert program changes to notes

Ah no worries I gave wrong info in that case. I've learnt something there. Didn't realise you could do that in M4L.

Re: using M4L to convert program changes to notes

For users who only own Max for Live, the Max application will have the following limitations: no built in support for audio and MIDI (Live is used for audio and MIDI I/O) restrictions on seeing Jitter images in the Max application (Jitter is fully functional inside Live) no ability to build standal...

Re: using M4L to convert program changes to notes

Do you have Max MSP stand alone? It sounds like you need to make a stand alone patch that acts as a translator before you midi hits Ableton's remote mapping. If not then I'd say using M4L as you say would be messy as you'd have the 2 channel out issue to contend with then mess about with a loop back...

Re: building a "clip tempo changer" and need a bit of help.

hmm I like the idea of not having a dedicated track for BPM commands, kind of like clyphx where commands can be anywhere. From what I can see in your code it would only work for the selected track is that the case?

Re: Leopard upgrade... snow .. lion or stay the same?

Thanks for all the advice, I think I'm going to play safe for now and stick with Leopard, I'm feeling it's not worth the hassle. I'll probably get a new laptop next year anyhow.

Re: building a "clip tempo changer" and need a bit of help.

I've built a device that does exactly this called TRamp,

http://stuffage.blackshades.co.uk/tagged/tramp feel free to have a look round at it.


I based it on this which you could also use as a reference:
