Converting drum patterns from max into ableton/M4L

hi,

If I have a drum machine in max which is based on trigger opening a gate, (so 1 trigger object to activate one step in a 16 step sequencer). Is there a way to convert these trigger 0/1 values into a list and then convert that into a pattern which can be copied into ableton or vice versa?

I'm guessing this would be easier if the drum machine was triggered by a matrixctrl object or that m4l grid object?

thanks and happy holidays
