I downloaded a random note generator device but I would like to sync it to Abletons play/stop or have the start bang quantized to bars. I managed to get the ms linked to beats but I can't figure out how to get it synced.

I'm pretty much completely new to this, thanks.

Since you're completely new, had you considered looking at the tutorials? that come with Max for Live? It's been a while, but I believe that the first discussion of the relationship between time-sync stuff and Max for Live is covered in the basic LFO tutorial (I could be wrong, so perhaps someone can correct me).

You should take a look at the Max transport external, for starters.

Thanks Greg, I just found a device that had the sync function I wanted and copied that section the device I'm using. I have no idea how, but it works!

Hi MCANIX, I know it's an old thread but if you are still listening would you mind sharing which was the device you found that has sync control, please?

Sorry it's been a while since I opened Ableton. I did some searching and it seems I made an edit to a device that plays random notes and I wanted them quantized to the global clock. Looking at the device internals it seems I copied it from one of the official tuts. I think it came from the tuts that are included with ableton. If you click the help view you might find the tuts.

The best I can offer is to send you the .axmd file? Apologies, I think the reason I never mentioned the device was because I copied it from the tuts.
