observing property playing_slot_index works fine (since 2011) but I noticed that it notifies also if you just add a note or edit the midi content of the clip, which is probably a kind of logic for some people but not for some others.

Actually, you play a clip. live.observer detects the one you play, fine.

You manipulate the content, it notifies again.

Live 12.2.1 / Max 9.0.7 (the one provided with Live)

Of course, working around it is possible as there are two different temporalities (in my process, at least): playing (and using the index for doing something, here triggering a markov chain :-)  & editing, so I can gate it and create kind of edit/play modes.

But wanted to report it as I didn't see it somewhere but maybe not looked for enough.

Observing playing_slot_index of a MIDI Clip notifies also if you edit clip content ?!

I have been discovering M4L for a few days and my poor English absolutely does not help me advance in my search.

Until then, for a few years I worked my bass on Guitar Pro and Ableton which had the role of an instrument. Guitar Pro has a very useful asset for work, which is not found elsewhere, it is the management of the % tempo, per range of +/-5%.

To summarize: when reading the score, we select the tempo and the "-" & "+" keys on the keyboard allow you to increase or decrease the tempo in a range of 5%. There is also a drop-down menu with a certain number of % to choose from and there is also the solution to fill in the tempo we want this time in bpm.

The disadvantage is that all this is not controllable in MiDi...

The idea would therefore be to export the pieces, exercises etc... from GP to Ableton in MiDi and use M4L to build a work tool that would respond to this:

Hoping to have aroused the curiosity of enthusiasts ready to help me in my adventure! I'm not looking for a turnkey tool but maybe ways so that I can build all this myself :)

Hi - I assume this is the same behaviour as automation in Live treats a live.button as a toggle between on and off states. On the push the same thing occurs where the button is treated as a toggle between on and off. Has anyone found a work around for this?

I've been working on a full Max for Live recreation of the TR-909 over the past months – built entirely in Max/MSP and gen~. The goal was not just to emulate the sound, but also the workflow and live feel of the original machine.

- All drum voices synthesized with gen~ (no samples), hats/cymbals from original EEPROM data

- True 909-style shuffle, flam, and accents – also sent over MIDI Out

- Standalone sequencer with individual track lengths (up to 64 steps)

- Track probability, flam variation, velocity accents

- Pattern and kit switching in real time (kits can be assigned per pattern)

- MIDI Out to drive external gear with full expression

- Master saturation/distortion + 6 group audio outs

- Mute groups, solo, and live-oriented layout

- Fully MIDI-controllable for integration into performance setups

This was built with live use in mind – minimal GUI, fast hands-on access, and instant switching. Would love to hear your feedback – especially from anyone who performs live with hardware or does hybrid setups in Ableton.

If anyone’s curious, I also made a short demo video –

I'm making a midi device, that set the loop_start and loop_end of a selected midi clip.

Most of the time it works fine but sometimes I have an issue and error in the max console :

live.object: Cannot set LoopStart behind LoopEnd

live.object: Changes cannot be triggered by notifications. You will need to defer your response.

I understood that I need to defer low the loop_start while increasing the start position to avoid that the loop end get behind the start position.

Is it possible to change the @quantize value of a metro by sending it a message ?

Basically, i need to make a synced metro which could (quickly/permanently) change its synced time but keep perfectly synced to Live.
