Controlling a device parameter in Ableton Live

Tim Coomb's icon

I have used the patch in the volume control section of https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/209071389-Controlling-Live-using-Max-for-Live-Tutorial- to control a device parameter in Live.

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

This works. However I want the device parameter to move smoothly as I move the slider, whereas at the moment, it just jumps to the maximum immediately, and I get an error message in the console of "live.object: Invalid value. Check the parameters range with min/max".

Could someone let me know where I am going wrong

Cheers

Select your slider and open the inspector.
Check 'Float Output' and set 'Range' to 1.

Perfect - thank you very much

My patch works.

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

However when I move the slider, I get this error message 'live.object: Changes cannot be triggered by notifications. You will need to defer your response.'

I tried using the deferlow object but I still get the error message.
Any ideas?
