Thanks COSM and Robert.. A really fun and inspiring vid..

Robert are you coming to Spain? It would be great to be at one of your talks.

Best

Are you just naming stuff? Or have you actually made some progress in getting the API to communicate with Max?

I'm trying to get the skinny on the API from Ableton, but I guess we'll need to find a way to get Robert drunk enough to answer this thread.

you mean the info about how he uses the API or what the currently available API is?

if you mean the latter then you can grab the zip from the LiveAPI google code page there are API docs in there.

here, i just uploaded them to my server :

http://relivethefuture.com/code/live/apidocs/

thats pretty much it for what you can control at the moment (in terms of objects within a song, there is other stuff related to the environment like changing views, zooming and stuff..)

also OSC doesnt have to run over UDP, you can run it over TCP..or any transport protocol, but thats not the important aspect

On the Monolake site it says Jan Buchholz gets credit for doing something with the Live API and python. So there already is (sort of) an official Ableton method to get data from Live into Roberts Max patch.

I'm trying to find out what it is and if it can be used by any Live user.

right, i think i understand..it would be interesting to know about his implementation.

I'm sudying things..
I'll work on callbacks..

while I'm finishing these studies (communication between Live & Max via OSC over udp in my case) I'll have to finish to make my configuration Live set more mature.. I mean, I have some parts very clear, constant in my live sets, and other parts which change yet (master section, sends etc)

in the same time, I'll get information about MIDIbox, cables etc.

for the moment, I can fire clips from max, I can get some informations too. But I don't know if coding callbacks is necessary or not .. I mean, probably I missed something about that and I could use it if I was more attentive...

to be continued...

Is this using the windows API or are you doing this on OSX?

my OS is windows XP
and I use the only way to communicate with backdoor of Live: Python

Only thing I know for sure is that no one needs a Vocoder...

But is the way you're communicating with Live unique to windows?
We know its possible on osx because thats how Robert is doing it.

Would your method work with the same code on osx?

julienb · Post by **julienb** » Mon Mar 03, 2008 1:35 pm

I'm not sure about that.
BUT, as Python and OSC are "only" interfaces in this case, I think it is the same thing.
I can't test it, I don't have osx
