I want to midi map the playhead in the arrangement view of ableton to a midi knob so I can scrub through the arrangement view this way. Is this possible with or without Max for Live? Any help would be extremely appreciated, thanks !

This can only be done through M4Live. You should definitly have a look at the Live Object Model in Max reference to know what you can and can't do...
Here's a start showing you how to access this through the LOM, you have to deal with the midi part...

With a small addition to take the signature denominator into account :

There was a mistake in the last patch in the sense that the [%] should have the signature numerator as input, not the denominator... Pretty easy addition :)
