device parameter database

Hi there!

Does anyone know of a database of all available parameters for all the live devices accessible from max for live?

The looper is, as far as I have noticed:

0 = device activator
1 = 4 looper functions
2 = feedback (0-1)
3 = reverse
4 = input
5 = speed
6 = quantization
7 = song control
8 = tempo control

So, similar information regarding the other live devices?

I tried google for a while, but didn't succeed.

Peace out!

There are some helper files you have that will query an object and produce a list of parameters. Search your computer for M4L.api...try m4l.api.getparameternames.maxpat, maybe. A database would be useful, certainly, but those devices can save you some time, anyway.

Thanks again :)

The lengths I'll go to when I'm avoiding doing the dishes, right? Somebody could have posted about their lawn needing mowing or something and I'd be like, "I'm on my way over."

I'll do your dishes!

Do you live close to Norway?

Apart from the Live Object Model which I think is pretty good (see https://cycling74.com/docs/max5/refpages/m4l-ref/m4l_live_object_model.html) I'd also like to "spam" you with my M4L patch which can simply make things visible; the LOM.Navigator which can be downloaded here:

Be careful with that critter, esp. when you're going to use it to set properties & function parameters.

"The looper is, as far as I have noticed:

I have been wondering about complete documentation too... or how to access all looper functions. (undo, clear)
