I was able to use the reactivision software to control parameters in Pure Data, but i want to achieve this internally in Live using Max4Live . So far i've been able to register the TUIO messages in the m4l patch, but it doesn't differentiate between fiducials. I get errors that state "$ variable out of range" and "extra argument", but the objects i'm using [send $1-tuioObjectAlive 0] were copied from the TUIO dispatcher maxpatch that the reactivision folks provide on their site.

I realize that the problem may come from the difference between Pd and max, and the fact that Pd uses a message box to send out [$2-tuioObjectAlive 0] and max uses the [send] object.

P.S. Ultimately, the goal is to map the fiducials to the control knobs on Reaktor's skrewell so it would go like reactivision>M4L>Reaktor instead of having to do reactivision>Pd>midiyoke>Reaktor, or is this the longer way around?

use a message box but use a ";" before [$1-tuioObjectAlive 0]. it should look like this:

now the "0" will be sent to a receive object of the same name as the first argument. If that receive object doesn't exist you will get "no such Object" warning.

Thanks for the tip, I do get the message "no such object. When I create the message box

if I create a [receive 0.00-tuioObjectAlive] to pick up the extra zeros, no error is registered but the information in the message gets lost, and it only sets the argument, in this case "0", and not the message sent out by the dispatcher which includes the fiducial number and current count and must be unpacked.

About that text that you included, how do I use that?

I get this error in the max window
"0.00-tuioObjectAlive: no such object"
