Then I'd just start not being interested now if I were you so you don't waste any time.

Max for Live's feature set compared to the other paid Live devices is not really even in the same dimension. Like I said a long time ago in this thread, the most expensive Live devices are $159 and M4L will probably be twice that.

I'm saving full price of Max/MSP for it - if it's less I'ma spill the rest on some guitar pedals from ebay :)

max/msp is some heavy hitting software, it's not something like Bomes.

$500.

aim high, if it's lower you'll have saved some moolah.
Exactly. M4L is not a utility or synth addon like Operator. It's a completely new class of capability.

Ok I just speculated it after visitng Cycling '74s website. It's going to be around 250 US dollars(If not, then 300 maximum :lol: ). I said this because the Max/MSP 5 is 495 dollars but it's open and not limited only to Ableton Live. So it should be lower than a regular one since it's purpose is only for Live. And lower means, a hundred or more dollars lower since it only works in Live.

And Ableton, if you're reading, be gentle with the pricing, considering inorder to use this, Ableton 7 owners should also upgrade their version to 8 so that they could use it. So it's gonna cost them double.

EDIT: Oh, and you can't open this standalone coz you're going to open it inside Live right? Now that's $100 minus for the price also.LOL

hmmm, does M4L not also have jitter capacties? so the price of 499 may not the correct equivalent.

Actually it does have it. But still it is limited only to Ableton Live 8.

Or perhaps; because it’s a more streamlined and honed set of tools designed to work very closely (and in depth, hand-in-glove, comprehensively? Symbiotically?) with Ableton, reflecting the countless work of a multitude of the world’s best music software programmers and representing a refinement (an extension AND escalation, a vastly improved new updated toolset representing the only 1.5 items of software you will ever need to create worldwide number 1 track) of max/msp, with improved built-in midi/audio interconnectivity out of the box (thanks to using Ableton Live as shell for everything your bulging imagination spew forth in an orgy of originality) .. it's actually worth MORE than the normal max/msp/jitter combo?

Time will prove me right!

i don't see it being less that 250 or something like that...

IMO there should be a M4L runtime for a reasonable price... I wouldn't care about the price of full M4L if someone programed a good step sequencer.

Hmm this is all interesting. $99-$150 would be an epic price, i think they would get a large amount of custom at that price, but its very unlikely. probably closer to $250-$300 i am guessing, of course this means that there is no damn way i can get it, but i'm sure 6 or 7 people will

Whatever it is, I hope the existing discount for current owners of each is massive. For example, at least 50% of the original cost, and hopefully closer to 75%. Do I expect this? I am not sure.
