Window size for Max for live and Abletons own instruments

[Jon-J]

Hey all, I might be dumb but when you have a third party plugin like Reactor the window size is always fairly big, but if you want to resize your view of say the "Analogue" instrument you are stuck with a display with a height no higher than like 150 pixels.

I would really like to know if it is possible to resize these instruments, or if it is possible to create an instrument in Max for Live that is larger than 150 pixels high.

The user interface is such an important thing that it seems mad that you are limited in this way...or should I be forced into forking out for a massive screen?

Cheers

In max4live you can produce a floating window that you can make any size you want, native devices aren't detachable from the clip area of the screen....

Ok, cool, at least I can make the window any size I want in Max4live.

Thanks for the response, much appreciated

No worries, look up the pcontrol object, send it an open and close message and link the output to a blank inlet within a bpatcher and it gives you your floating window.... Then create your gui how you want it!
