Getting Data out of Abelton Rack Macros

Soup Sounds's icon

Hi - I am having problems using an Novation SL Mk ii with auto map - i think because it is confused by the amount of midi mapping I have in my improvised Abelton Setup.

I have definitely given up trying to get it to work (tried everything and then some) - and therefore I am looking to replicate its functions using max for live.

Please can anyone give me some leads on the following (tutorial links // APi abstractions etc - I have started to feel more confident in my max programming)

-> How to get data out of the Abelton Rack macros. Both values and names.

-> How to process sysex data to send out by midi.

Any leads gratefully accepted.

Best Regards
