Re: Did anyone ever made a whole control surface in Javascript ?

Heads up to anyone who is working on control surface development in Live using the js object, or Max For Live generally - unfortunately since v11.2 1he MaxForLive control surface is unable to observe the appointed_device.
To write a control surface using Max For Live that can work with the appointed device you now need to either:
1. Create a skeleton python script that does little more than present controls of a MIDI controller to be grabbed
or
2. Add one of the official control surfaces to a slot even if you are not using it (Advance, Axiom for example).
I have requested this should be fixed. Solution (1) really shouldn't be necessary.
