M4L MIDI controlled Audio Effect Example?

[ForeverTangent]

Hey All,

I am hoping someone here can help, but can anyone point me to an example of how to build a MIDI controlled Audio Effect in M4L?

I am trying to build a filter where the cutoff is determined by the MIDI note number (among other factors). But I can't seem to get Live to route MIDI data from one track to the track in which I have the audio and I am building the M4L device on.

I am not sure if I building the M4L patch wrong, or if there is something else i am doing wrong. I can find examples of Effect and Instruments but not were the two meet.

Thanks in advance.

Audio FX have only Audio IN and OUT. But you can receive MIDI the Max send > receive objects. Look at the "Max 7 Pitch an Times Machines" pack under "Max MIDI Sender" "Max MIDI Receiver". Put the Receiver-code in you Audio FX so you can receive MIDI

Cool, I will check them out!

Thanks for the help!

Better than the officially "unsupported" Send and Receive (for timing reasons) for such task is to use the lh.midiin external.
It's a midin/midiout object but without the M4L limitations and so you can use it directly in your audio device.

Communication between devices using send and receive is supported, but there may be some latency involved when sending data between devices.

Yep. But using lh.midin has:
1) no timing issue
2) no need for a midi receive device placed on a midi track as you can put this midi input object directly in your audio device.
3) it's cross-platform (and 64 bit too).
