HID in Max for Live- how do you control Live parameters without Max open?
Hi forum
This is my first query - I'm new to Max and M4L and ultimately want to design a M4L devise that will enable me to Map the controls on a game controller to perimeters in Live.
I successfully made a Max patch that extracts all the info from my controller, and I can map these to a simple M4L patch (that can select and launch clips) in Ableton while I'm getting to grips with the coding. Problem is the controller only works when the patch is open to edit. Once it is closed the HID stream seems to not get through to the M4L within Live. So how do you overcome this?
Thanks!
