Control Ableton Live (e.g. Tempo) with M4L Device
Hello,
I used the "Max Midi Effect" template in Ableton Live 11 to build a M4L effect that outputs pitchbend levels from 0 - 127 (the original data comes from a sensor on an arduino). Controlling the pitchbend of a VST instrument on the same midi track works. However, I also want to control Lives tempo and other tracks with this M4L device. I couldn't figure out how to midi map this in Ableton. How to do this?
Thank you very much for any help!
I believe this will do what you are asking. One side allows you to set Live's tempo. The other reports the current tempo.

Thank you a lot for this patch, Mitch! So there's no way to map my pitch-bend midi to other tracks/devices/buttons in Live directly?
