Control Dynamics With Max4Live?

Hi all!

I enjoy writing chamber music from within Ableton (that I then transfer to Dorico to finish, of course), since I can then use all the interesting algorithmic tools and sequencers inside Ableton and Max 4 Live to write music for acoustic instruments.

I created some random dynamic movements, and mapped them with Map8 to 8 different instruments, to cc1 for dynamics within Kontakt and UVI Workstation. However, this can't always be done, since dynamics is not mappable in all instruments. Therefore, when I enter Configure Mode and drag the dynamics slider, it doesn't add the parameter to the panel.

Is there a way to use a Max4Live device to get around this? It would have to work something like this:

Max4Live LFO modulator -> new Max4Live device (0-127) -> sends cc1 numbers to the instruments, like if the mod wheel on the keyboard was being moved.

Hello.

In a new maxforlive instrument device, try to add your vst in a [vst~] object. Look at the help of this object to grab the name of all parameters and look if the one you are looking for is..

If it is, it's possible
