..but without any documentation on live.remote~, live.path~ etc. I will not succeed in building MyFirstRemoteLFO..

can anyone post a remote control LFO patch such as shown here so I can open it and learn:

thanks..

have a look in your install here :

Cycling '74\Max 5.0\examples\M4L.Examples\LiveAPI\Abstractions

there are quite a lot of useful abstractions which you can study / combine, e.g.

M4L.api.SelectDevice
M4L.api.SelectParameter
M4L.api.DeviceParameterRemote

that should get you going

i knocked together a really simple LFO which might help you get going :

I dont know if you need to pack up all the files but I did anyway.

Thanks. I've been fighting all day with live.path trying to emulate just the basic things like this and getting "invalid syntax" in the max window.



I didn't even think to just use the builtin sub patchers like you did in your sample LFO.

still annoying that even that basic getcount tracks example doesn't work though.

hey man thanks a bunch..! really appreciate it..

however.. this LFO is also freezing/crashing both Max and Live.. (the same as with the LFO from Mike TrackTeam)

I really have no clue why this is happening..
what I do is open the MFL preset, go into edit mode,
then after about 20-30 seconds Max freezes, Live as well,
then Live crashes..



as reported here;
http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php? ... 17#p980117

I found that for now the only way to bypass the crash is to temporarily disable Live's audio engine..
so at least I can have a longer than 30 seconds peak inside the patch..

This one should work better than my previous one.

you can duplicate the lfo device as many times as you want-

as for the live.object and live.path check out the examples in the mfl folder in your max app folder. all the info is in there. also, look at the live api documentation in the max docs. tells you whats there and how you can access it.

hi Mike.. again thanks for the effort.. really appreciate it..

howeverrr.. sigh, yes again..
this LFO also crashes Live and Max.. same procedure as before; once going into patching mode; freeze>crash..
anyway.. the LFO works perfect without patching.. thanks..
cheers.. Marco


also got this conflict message..

How did you spawn bpatchers that include
M4L.api.SelectDevice
M4L.api.SelectParameter
M4L.api.DeviceParameterRemote

When I try I just get a blank bpatcher window.
If I go into your patch and save a prototype of your bpatchers, and recall the prototype, I still get a blank bpatcher, this time with the same size as yours. Bug?

edit:

If I recall one of yours as one of the prototypes, they go blank, and if I undo the change, they're still blank
edit 2:
After saving and going into Live, they work *facepalm*

for the bpatchers i normally just hit 'n', type bpatcher, ctrl + b to bring up the browser and then drag the file from the browser to the bpatcher.

one thing that helps a lot is in the browser create and save a search for 'M4L', then anytime you need one of the abstractions its easy to get to.

Mike, can you post this device on maxforlive.com? It's a really good simple example of an LFO that everyone has been asking for.
