Stepless sequencer M4L

Post by avantronica » Tue Nov 24, 2009 5:51 pm

I wonder if any other M4L users have a problem with the step sequencer M4L midi object - it only runs for me in edit mode ! When in Live run mode it sits there doing nothing - ie it's losing the clock - i can see that the transportation patcher is the engine - it just stops when in run mode!!

Can anyone confirm that step sequencer is operating normally without editing ? + suggest solution !

Ok
For the record
The culprit was a max file called 'transport' which is part of a distribution for ambisonics called sPan.lib
This was in a folder I believed to be outside the Max5 search path but which sneaked into the M4L path !

Hope that (hours of testing by elimination) helps anyone looking for a solution to the same gremlin

how do you delete notes in the step sequencer? seems pretty pointless to me without the ability to delete

you can turn down the probability to zero, that will "delete" them.

I've made a pitch scrollable sequencer for the monome using the live.step object which makes it possible to edit all the octaves, or have 127 drum sounds ;) on the monome, but I need to add some functions like multiple sequencing and stuff. I would also like to able to paste notes from midi clips directly in the step sequencer, Is there an option in the live api to dump notes from midi clips?
