how do you control ableton transport (play and stop) from within M4L?
Hey
just a quick question : how do you control ableton transport (play and stop) from within M4L? I'd like to be able to do that, not only in a "compositional" way but also in a practical way (when I need to stop Ableton transport and I'm working on my max patch I have to switch windows on my screen etc).
Thanks a lot
yeah thanks I'll try that!
works great! How do you suggest I use space bar to start and top playing? key > select 32 > bang is a start I guess...but then how to differentiate using the space bar to start and to stop playing?
Is space bar not anyway starting or stopping transport ?
You can use sel 32 to toggle current state.
Observe is_playing property and
inverse it with the bang from key.
Is your problem focus to keystrokes
while live is in background ?
same problem woud be if any max window is opened
in max editor, devices in non edit mode
do no receive keystrokes.
And you don't want to insert key object etc in
every device, or ?
Is space bar not anyway starting or stopping transport ? it does in Ableton yes but I mean I want to do that while working on my M4L patch (max window open).
Observe is_playing property and
inverse it with the bang from key.
Can you explain this?
