Question about live.remote~

Post by davidb63 » Wed May 29, 2013 2:49 pm

I'm just getting started with M4L and have run into something that I've been unable to get around. I'm not even 100% if it a max question or automation question.

I wanted to make a pseudo solo device for use in an instrument rack.. so I would be able to activate each chain individually which would then turn off all others.. solo. This so I can switch instruments without having to begin new midi note. I used API browse.deviceParameters to get the ID and live.toggle into live.remote for each instrument in the rack. After mapping the toggles, I was able to get it working, but when I record the automation and then play back.. only one of the automations stays active causing the re-enable automation button to light up. When I press that button.. the automation lanes turn red again, until I play.. :(

I hope that made sense. maybe this is simply an automation misunderstanding between myself and ableton.. either way, if anyone can shed some light on this.. I'd be greatfull :)

Okay, figured this out. I was turning off the live.toggle instead of just sending zero to the live.remote~ :oops: Seems to be working now
