^^ yeah.. totally agree..
I'm still learning Max/4l.. and that's the part where what's absent stands out more..
when you already 'know' the tools well .. you're more aware of the limitations.. and know where NOT to go..
yeah ..here's to hoping for an all-encompasing live platform in 2012 ( ..if there is no Mayan apocalypse..)

Keystroke emulation is easy with the aka.keyboard external. http://www.iamas.ac.jp/~aka/max/#aka_keyboard

..been there...
not for windows...
thx...

I guess I'm not helping here but..
instead of always waiting for THE tool that fits exactly our need, consider to use mouse for this very easy copy/paste. no?
I mean, API is nice. But it must not be the thing that polarize us on it.
screen/mouse are very fine for a lot of operation.
we can try to:
- twist the tool (it could work!)
- ask new feature (it is interesting too)
but we don't have to forget basic interface can be use at the same time.



(those who know me know well I'm still VERY interested by new feature, testing thing, customizing etc... I just want to add my 2 cents here about using interfaces)

Maybe you can do a keyboard simulator with the "spell" object?
I'm at work, so I didn't try yet.

hmmm... I'll try it when I get home ..THANKS !

hit me up if you have other suggestions..
I'm sure it's doable using the Java classes..maybe with 'processing'..
but that will require a weekend to research this..
maybe someone can come up with a windows native solution like aka.keyboard using C/C++..

Oh yeah, ok!
Mmm...that's gonna be painfull

I remember someone post a clip deleter m4l device for windows; but it probably needs a midiyoke also. I don't remember well, but it's on maxforlive.com

Though thisvis cool, and I wish it worked for windows, it does however not address the VERY first point when I started this post.

There is a 100% crash in M4L when you use Copy/Paste via Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V. However if you use Mouse and do Ctrl/drag and drop, it will copy successfully.

Any form of keyboard emulation is useless. I need a direct API call to circumvent the whole copy paste. The api is good but it doesn't support New Clip, or Copy Envelopes...

it does however not address the VERY first point when I started this post.

Oh yes, sorry. I've totally miss that. Plus, I had switched on 3dot...'s problem.
Actually, I didn't even notice you were here


(Why do you need to switch to midi map mode just after copying a midi clip? Is the crash also happen if you're doing things between the cmd-C and cmd-M?)
Edit: Ok; I've just try and... it's a very annoying bug! And to answer my own question... it also crashes when the cmd-C cmd-M are not consecutive.
It's a big fucking bug.

Ya. Once you press ctrl-c, its a ticking time bomb until you hit ctrl-m to chamge your assignment which I do all the time.
