Ableton Forum

Hi jrs1,

I'm controlling the Looper from within M4L by sending keystrokes that are mapped to the Looper's Buttons in ableton.

You can get my keystroke emulation external from maxobjects.com.

If you have further questions on how it works just contact me!

Hope this helps.

@ julien: the same problem occurs if I map the parameter to MIDI via ableton Midi Mapping. It's very easy to reproduce: Do you have any hardware like novation nocturn that shows a received value via LEDs or something similar? Then map a parameter of a ableton device (like "autofilter frqeuncy&q...

Maybe you didn't get what I mean. (Or maybe I didn't get what YOU mean...) For me M4L-devices and their parameters react a little weired with ANY control surface. Let me explain: when you give the BLUE HAND to a normal ableton device, the first 8 parameters are controlled by your control surface. Yo...

Hey hanz! That's what I thought. They do access one parameter after another and put them into groups of 8. There's no system built in limit for 8 parameters. I will try and report... So far I'm using the generic script but I think it's better to take advantage of the framework class of the APC40 scr...

Dear M4L-users, dear hanz (as I guess you could know that),

I was considering how I could control an ableton device (also M4L) with more than 8 knobs.

Should I go into research with Python? Would that be possible?

Thanks,

Hi! This is a very simple device. It sends note on (of specific pitch & velocity) when it receives a note and sends a note off when it receives a "double click" note on (with a specified threshold). The idea behind: When you're playing with samples in a drum rack you might want to have...

Hi!

Does anybody know a way to get the ID of the parameter that is currently changed by the mouse?
So I could have a kind of "learn mode" for controlling parameters instead of choosing them via umenues.

Thanks in advance,

Hi altogehter, Just one hint: You should never name an abstraction (for example for using it in a bpatcher) like an existing object. I did that with the name "slider" because I had an bpatcher wich should display a special slider. But everywhere I used normal slider_objects it told me &quo...

Ah, I remember. The work around for clips is even easier:

Just observe/ ask for the property "playing_slot_index" of the parental track. this is not sending 1-0-1.

(as far as I remember)

Ah, I remember. The work around with clips is even easier:

Just look for the property "playing_slot_index" of the track that contains the clip you're looking for. Because this is not showing a 1-0-1 or something like that.

(as far as I remember)

this is an abstraction that I made called M4L.transportState. I made something similar for clips, I'll search it... <pre><code> ----------begin_max5_patcher---------- 802.3oc2XE0jZBCD9YuYt+CL7r0IIHPnu092nyMNnlp4FH3.wqZuo+2axFP4 7zifEgy9hgrI.e6W18aW40GeXj67rcrBWmu57CmQidUYYDXSaYTkgQtow6Vj DW.azMkUTDu...

hey guys! Didn't read properly yet, but I just read that you've problems with ableton sending that 1-0-1 for clips and transport. I also had that problem and found a work around. Each time you get a "1" you should ask for the playing_position, 'cause that is different each time, so you can...

but I guess it only works with clip that you record, hm?!
If you just drag a clip from the ableton explorer into the session - will it work, too?!

sorry, but that doesn't work for me.

I've never heard that it should be possible to fill a max buffer with audio material by just give it the name of a clip in ableton.

Really sure about that?!

cheers
