A question about all the Max4L-objects found in the object palette. I do not own ableton8 and/or Max4Live but i can still see/choose all the "would be" available objects. Is this somethins like a "bonus-feature" (or teaser) of some sort? Will this enable me to make Max4Live-patches? (even without the possibility to test or play around with them) I did find that they can be used inside Max (although i haven't come across anyone using it in their patches on the forum (yet) so my second question is; Why is everyone (including myself:) trying to reinvent the wheel by building stepsequencers from scrath when there are two sequencers to be found in the list of M4L-objects ready to go? Or am i missing something.

The live.* objects are a part of the standard Max 5.1 distribution. Without Max for Live, you cannot create Live devices using the objects, of course - but you still might like the way they look (especially if you are one of those poor souls driven to whingeing fury by rounded corners).

I should be mentioned also that live.* objects have the nice feature of automatic initialization, ie. no loadbang required.

Thanks, broc. That is, indeed, a reason to commend them to non M4L users.

Haaa, i'm actually one of those (few?) poor souls that likes the rounded corners. :)

(Spelling-sloppyness; ofcourse i meant "something" and "scratch" but i guess you've figured that out.)

The loadbang-feature sounds nice yes.

You're not alone - it's merely that the squares are the squeaky wheels. Or perhaps I should say that, like square squeaky wheels, they make interesting noises more often (thump SQWEE thump SQWEE thump....) :-)

can we keep the live objects from sending the value at initialization?

ie, load the value, but wait for a bang.


But you can control the relative order of initialization with the order parameter.

No, I don't think so.
