I´m totally new with m4l, I would like to know how could I access the “zoom screen” option, which is in -prefs-look & feel, in ableton live.

I work with my laptop on stage, and I could be really great to be able to resize the screen as I go far away from it, using midi or whatever.

any ideas??

thanks a lot!!

so I don´t really get the point about m4l. why to work so hard in a patch to make some thing that you can do with much less efforts with the ableton live interface or just mapping anything to a midi controller??

pease, let me know what´s the point with m4l, so I´ll be able to take advantage of it!

thanks a lot.

Maybe you could make a feature request to them for it.

Also maybe there’s some kind of way to automate OS UI zooming, via a some kind of MIDI to keyboard shortcut.

and I always like to try new ways for making the same things!!

here is the patch (for max 4.6!! by the way, I miss it´s old style look):

#P comment 155 182 621 196618 IMPORTANT: you need to set up your “universal access” (in system settings) to “ZOOM = YES” and “ZOOM IN” with shortcuts “command 4″ and “ZOOM OUT” with shortcuts “command 5.” there you can select the amount of zoom desired too. you can also adjust there the amount of zoom IN you want.;

#P comment 156 114 620 196618 I use max performing over the stage , sometimes I go far away from computer , and control max or ableton live with a wireless device. then then if I need to watch controlled parameters I can map a midi cc or note to make zoom over them automatically as I control them , just assing incoming data to the coordenates in which the controlled parameter is placed in my screen. http://www.davidfernandez.org;
