strange: controlling with mouse works, but not with midi

misal · Post by **misal** » Sun Mar 21, 2010 4:01 am

I made a max device which controls the looping of an audio clip. When I control a clip by clicking with the mouse on the buttons like loop on/off or loop length or loop shift everything works fine. But when I assign a midi-controller or keys of the computer-keyboard to these buttons, they don't work proper any more. I don't understand why this happens. The max editor is not open, when I do that.

Has anyone else experience with this behaviour?
Thanks for any help in advance.

I believe that midi/key mapping of buttons does not work in trigger (momentary) mode, but only in toggle mode.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

I am not sure but I think the event order rules of max don't work any more the same (right to left, depth first). Is this possible? Or maybe the api of live is bugy, meaning the events don't arrive in the same order as they were generated in max...?

In fact, the initialization order in M4L vs. Max seems to be different.
