Controlling Ableton from Max MSP

Hi all,

I am looking for a way to control Ableton Live WITHOUT the use of Max4Live. I want to be able to control start/stop and tempo. Any ideas?

Regards,
Edwin

at first glance, maybe through midi : affect a midi key to start/stop and tempo (tempo would be tricky...) and select "frommaxmsp" or something like that as mididevice.
For tempo it won't be good, maybe also consider osc ? dunno what live can receive as osc.

Controlling Live parameters via OSC can be done with 'LiveOSC'.
