Ableton Live API in Node for Max JS Script
Hello,
I've been working on an Ableton Live Device using Node for Max.
My question is: how can I access Ableton Live API from my Node.js script?
In js object, I can call new LiveAPI(this.patcher, "live_set");, for example. But apparently, it didn't work in node.script object.
Is there anything like this?: const Live = require('live-api');
Thanks in advance!
Hi Nao,
[node.script] and the [js] objects are not alike and the [node.script] does not have access to the Live API. If you need access to these u have to either use it in the [js] object or implement some layer in between that translates and sends/receives the Live API interactions to and from the Node.JS process.
Hope that helps
Florian
Thank you, Florian.
That's exactly what I wanted to know. Appreciated!
Best,
Nao

Florian, I guess you mean passing messages between the two inside a patcher, right?
Yes that's what I was referring to.
