Help with live.observer and ableton drum rack in max for live
Hi everybody, i just discovered the existence of the live.api objects and im trying to create a m4l device that observes whenever I press a pad in my drum rack.
I understand (or at least i think so) how to set the correct path of the device so that live.observer can see it but i cant seem to find the right property to get the value that i need.
Is there any way to do this? Thanks!
Pressing a pad = playing a MIDI note, so you just need to listen to incoming MIDI to know which pad is pressed. You'll need to make a MIDI or Instrument M4L device for this, or rely on [live.routing] if you want to make an audio effect device. (or make a MIDI M4L device to listen to incoming MIDI and send it over to your audio effect device using [send]/[receive] which works across devices).
I went with the midi m4l and it works like a charm, thank you so much for the help i was going crazy trying to figure it out with live.observer, but as always i had the easiest solution right in front of me!!
