My current workflow when it comes to developing m4l instruments is ridiculously high friction. I usually start working in Max because it's easier than loading up Live first. Then once I'm ready to convert I export as an M4L device, but when I drag the file from explorer into Live's track-list it refuses to recognize the file as an instrument, instead applying it as an audio effect. Is there some setting somewhere I'm missing to save m4l devices explictly as instruments? The only workaround I've found so far is to paste the entire patcher contents into a new m4l instrument created from Live :(

Hi Sylvan, if you open the project window for your patch there’s a gear shaped button on the bottom. It has an entry to show the project inspector. You can change the device type from Audio to Instrument or MIDI in the project inspector.
