I'm relatively new at Max but a pretty heavy Live user. I just want one of my midi notes to be able to convert into the command-U (quantize) function. Can this be acheived via Max For Live? I'm using a mac.

I know Bome Translator can do this, but I'm not sure I want to pay $81 to do one relatively simple thing, considering I already have Max For Live at my disposal. midiStroke crashes due to the fact that I have duplicate midi divices (2 nanoKontrols) plugged in at once. OSCulator seems to only recognize one 'note' per midi device (!), not individual notes.

any assistance or guidance here would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
c

update:

after some tooling around, I figured out how to achieve what I wanted via Osculator.

Basically, there's a specific commend under the Edit menu of Osculator called "Demux", which basically breaks down midi messages based on specific paramaters. In my case, I highlighted the "notes" parameter and went to edit -> demux, which enabled the Osculator to receive individual notes, one of which I mapped to command-U.

Still, if there's anyone who has any ideas for achieving this via a Max For Live patch, I'm all ears.

Hi C,

Have you looked up the aka.keyboard external, i use it on the mac to create keystrokes out of midi signals received in with relative ease....

Thanks for the heads-up, S4racen,

Do freestanding Max programs like this work inside of Max for Live? I do not (yet) own a freestanding version of Max.

Yes, if you download the external and place it within the file heirachy of Max then you can use it, if you want to distribute the device then simply freeze it before saving it.... Basically virtually every external object works within Max4Live!

Cheers
