Currently working on a step sequencer that triggers clips using live.step.

Surprisingly enough, even to me, I've manage to piece it all together and it functions.

What I would like to be able to do is enable Legato on one or more of the clips in the target range of the device to get sort of a loop comp feel. When enabling legato on the clips though, it seems to get hung up and only play one loop. You can see the play buttons on the other clips light up as if they're going to play as the sequencer is configured, but they never do.

I'm assuming this is just a limitation of Max's interaction with ableton? As in ableton cannot keep up with the speed I'm trying to control it from Max?

I am running the sequencer at 16th note step lengths, but I wouldn't think this would be a problem as I also have launch quantization of each target clip set to 1/32 at least.

I'm using call fire messages for each of the target clips.

Is there any way to get better response from the clips?

I'm at work currently, but can provide screenshots of the patch and maybe even a screen recorded demonstration.

EDIT: Clips launch perfectly in sequence when legato is disabled for all target clips.

So anything above an 1/8th note value works flawlessly.. Unfortunately, even just drawing in notes into the piano roll, anything under doesn't work at all.

Bummer...still getting some cool results though.

Very rough presentation and demo vid. Still a lot of work and learning to do. Having a blast though.
