Dynamic global variable name for send and recive
Is it possible to resolve a global variable name (used by send and recive) at runtime and, for example, dynamically add the number of the ableton live track?
If you really need the track number, you will have to look into the Max for Live API.
If you just want your send/receive to be local to a Max for Live device, you have this, from the [send] Reference page:
"If you want a named send / receive object in a Max for Live device to be unique to the device, use three dashes (--- ) to start the name of your send / receive destination (e.g. s ---filtercutoff)."
I want to communicate in one track within a chain of devices. But it becomes problematic when I have a second chain in another track.
[forward] may be useful.
OK, thx. So I can see, I can set te sender name with "send" an the receiver name with "set". So I catch the track number and make my transmitter-names. Thx for help.
they used "send" in forward so that you can send "set" though it. :)
