Make Live send its initial state?

I'm working on a TouchOSC template which controls mapped midi parameters in a set and recieves the fader labels from M4L via OSC. All is working well, with (label) parameters saved in the Live set.

The only thing i'm running into is that if i reload the TouchOSC template on my iphone, i cant figure out how to get Live to send all the midi mapped values to the iphone without reloading the project. When Live opens a project it apparently sends all the mapped values. It would be great if i could do this manually?

any ideas?

Set up a live.thisdevice and ask it to send a bang out to each parameter that you want to reconnect with when the device is turned on, then connect all the bangs up to the parameters, sometimes a bang will do other times it'll need to send an outputvalue message dependent on the object itself...

thanks for the reply.

I thought of that, but the problem is that i want to be able to dynamically map to *anything. If its only mixer volume no problem, but fader 2 could be an autofilter drive value and fader 4 could be a macro knob.

nice one. thanks for the tip.

While testing Kapture i discovered that touchOSC will update midi mapped parameters (after restarting iOS app) if i select the track containing my device in Live. :mrgreen:

so my problem solved itself and i've found an interesting new device. thanks!
