key commands from max
hello, a question. is it possible to create a gui, with in mind, to create qwerty key commands to a daw from max, in this case Cubase? my current visual idea see pic. so, outputting key commands from max,.. is it possible. hope someone can put me in the right direction, cheers - rob.
No, Max cannot send keystrokes. [key] receives keystrokes and [hi] accesses various Human Interface devices, but only as input. The reason for this is likely that such functions are OS dependent.
On Windows I suggest that your application sends out MIDI commands. These can then be converted to keystrokes using something like Bome MIDI Translator.
On macOS you can look at AppleScript.
Max can send keystrokes using 3rd party externals :

I would prefer to use other protocol to control DAW.
ah right, thanks for the info, much appreciated.
Thanks @Source Audio! Perfect solution.
