Is there a way to get a list of devices(do not need name, but if it had 3 devices(say drumkit + 2 effects) is there an object that would return 3, and another that would allow me to toggle a particular device on and off(ie sending device 3 on/off would toggle the last effect).

get-list-of-devices-in-a-track-and-turn-them-on-or-off

Reading my last post again, i realize it was worded poorly,

Query: How many devices any one of those channels has.

Toggle a device on any of the channels on/off

I'd like to:
Query: Number of channels.
Query: How many devices any one of those channels has.
Toggle a device on any of the channels on/off

I think your questions are answered in the LOM documentation

https://cycling74.com/docs/max5/refpages/m4l-ref/m4l_live_object_model.html

if possible could you look at the following snipit,

It should toggle a toggle box when i toggle on/off the first device on the first track.. live.path splits out Id 0, so it looks that i'm not sending it the correct path, but it's what i gathered from the API as to what i should send it..

In your path you need to replace 'is_enabled' by '0', which is the number of the device on/off parameter.

I thought it was documented in the LOM but seems not there..

I was able to use the above technique to get the status of whether the device is enabled or not.

But I can't figure out how to change it. Here's what I'm trying...

Just insert [live.path] to get the id from path.
