M4L - C++ custom module integration

[pmestrez]

Hello,

I'm looking to use Ableton to control an external device that speaks a custom protocol over ethernet.
The idea is to create a instruments module that convert midi message to this dedicated ethernet protocol.
Is there a way to implement such a module in M4L format that I can use in Live.
This module would be devellop in Visual C++ (2005, 2008 or 2010).
I know i can make a VST plugin in C++ to do so but maybe M4L is better...

Best regards,

Pierre

Take a look at the SDK, available here:

Hi Pierre,

Out of interest, which protocol do you plan on supporting?

Hi Hoffman,

This is a dedicated video server protocol. Can speak much because it is under NDA.

I understand. A video server sounds like fun. Good luck!

Thanks Christian

I think I'll go for native VST in c++ because Max SDK is a bit tought to dive into
