Max 4 Live Control is the collective name for a suite of max for live apps I am currently building. Although the collection will cover a broad range of functionality as my personal and professional work with m4l develops, the focus will be on opening ableton up for easy communication with hardware d...

ello ello, good to see you on here fanu! i wrote a cheeky little reply on a facebook posted picture of your live setup the other day mentioning m4l, glad to see you're interested in it. i've been working with max and max4live for quite a few years now and teach ableton and max privately. there's som...

Hey XPM, How's it going man? But, to the point. It's possible as long the files are named the same as the clip name and are in a specified directory. Could use the samples folder of the live project? Haven't yet tried it with freshly recorded files. Live adds a number code before the file that could...

thanks a lot for the help guys.

switched to using mike leigh's midiout and midiin objects. they're working well and ran smoothly for rehearsals and a performance this week.

@ pid
thanks a lot for that snippet! i'm going to have a look at it and try and incorporate it, if it's what i think it is.

ahh, cheers broc. good to hear it's not just me experiencing this, although obviously not good that it's happening. i'm trying out the midi externals now. has anyone had any problems or crashes with them? i've got a performance tomorrow and probably won't have time to test them as thoroughly as i'd ...

@ elementv he's using an application i built called Live Clip Chopper. I'm currently working on a new version and after seeing there latest videos with my app featured on all three i've left livid some messages so we can start talking about building custom livid versions of the apps i've built. unfo...

It is a strange one as the IAC Driver is definitely still working when the issue comes up. I've got Remote turned on the output of an IAC Driver which Ableton sends Control data from Live parameters to. It still sends the control data over the IAC Driver fine, but it can't send it note information f...

Thanks a lot for the help guys .

Just got a copy of the external and I'll be testing it out later. Bit of a bugger that a separate release will be needed for windows and mac. Unless there's a way to get the type of OS in Max4Live and switch which object the midi goes to accordingly?

I also posted this bug on the Max4Live forum in the hope someone there had had the issue. There I received a comment from ShelLuser asking for more details, I repost my response here in case anyone wonders the same questions. Apologies for the vagueness. I understand reporting bugs without a replica...

Apologies for the vagueness. I understand reporting bugs without a replicable live set, max device or bug report can be quite frustrating for developers. As I explained the problem does not seem to immediately replicable, it seems to happen randomly. I have tested it thoroughly to try and provide a ...

I'm having some issues with the M4L devices I've created that output midi data. On opening a live set and attempting to use the device the midi output represented on the channel's fader in the mixer area will appear greyed out. However, the midi output in the Device/Clip area shown at the end of the...

I'm having some issues with the midi effect M4L devices I've created that output midi data. On opening a live set and attempting to use the device the midi output represented on the vertical line of dark circles in the mixer area will appear greyed out. However, the midi output in the Device/Clip ar...

i have had similar issues with live gui objects when they are within bpatchers. i noticed after editing the original patch you need to delete the bpatcher and recreate it for the objects Long Name property to be properly picked up in live's automation menus. i think this may also affect whether or n...

@ Shelluser ah, i'd been wondering how the order of id's was created. would it be right to think that id's will remain the same during a set unless you delete, add or move things? so it would still be a good option to collect and store all the ids at the start and have them updated when things are d...
