Control Browser from hardware controller for hotswap

[marble33]

hello!

I would like to be able to select sound samples, to be loaded in a simpler, using an hardware controller or the iPad, and audition them before loading. Of course this can all be done with the mouse, but I want to remote control this (navigate through samples, audition, load).

I thought I could do this with M4L, but could not yet figure out how...
So far I was able to get the hot-swap status, but I could not set it. How to do it?
Also, later, I will want to be able to navigate the items (an possibly to even be able to get a list (for a later ipad implementation, so that I can see the file names on the iPad interface).

Is this at all possible?
Can it be done with M4L? Do I need to use javascripts from a MaxforLive device?
Other methods might also be ok for me, as long as I can achieve the goal.

Is there something already available? I know touchAble can load stuff/devices, but I want something that let me auidtion in a fster way, and hot swap seems the only solution within Live.

Thanks for any hint!

Sorry, this seems not possible in M4L.

In Python you can control the browser with remote scripts to load/hot switch instruments/effects etc. However, it's still not possible to audition samples in sampler.

Another way could be using bome perhaps, and some mouse/keyboard hacks - but it might be a bit dangerous and possibly wouldn't work very well.

Of course you could make samplers and save them as presets with all of our audio files and then hot-swap them that way, but it would certainly take some time with a lot of audio files.

Not possible through M4L, i think theres a solution from Stray at NativeKontrol that uses up a control surface slot and works in Python...

Could you be more specific? on the webpage of NativeKontrol I see several items, nbut it's not clear which you are referring t? I am looking for capability to hot swap, navigation, audition of samples.
Is that using Python LiveAPI? If so, wouldn't that be accessible from M4L using javascripts?

Samples are not browsable...

Other than that suggest you study the Live Object Model for what's available...
