i'd like to control loop positions using m4l.

So far, i figured out how to retrieve their values using the property "get_beats_loop_length" and "get_beats_loop_start" in the live_Set path. The format is a string telling, measure.beats.thick,

anyway when i send it back modified from max to ableton it doesn't work, meaning it doesn't change loop points. Any idea? Maybe i'm just formatting the string wrongly. I can add my patch if you wanna try.

For changing you may use the properties loop_length and loop_start.

Note however that in this case the format is beats (as float numbers).

Thanx broc i'll try that. Where do you find the property list for a given object?

Actually i found the list but still doesn't work.

I receive messages correctly but when i try to modify values it's difficult

Here is the patch, like live.observer example actually. Don't know what is wrong.

It tells me wrong syntax.

In your patch try replacing the message [set value $1] by [set loop_start $1].

fantastic it works perfectly.
Thanks broc
