I don't htink you need M4L to do this at all. You can simply map the midi note to both the clip and the parameter through live's midi mapping if that parmeter is a simple on/off thing. But If you need to scale the midi pitch to another value, I think you'd need a M4L device to send that value to the master track. This seems to be your case. Maybe through lhmidiout ?

Hi Stephane,

It doesn't seem possible to map the midi to the master effect and to trigger a clip at the same time.

For this purpose, the audio plugin on the master out responds to MIDI notes for preset selection, and I want to have several MIDI clips on a MIDI track triggered by those same notes. (One master preset triggered for each clip that is triggered)

I can set up the mapping, but when I play a note to trigger a clip, the active track changes to the track with the MIDI clips, so the input channel for the MIDI to route to the master effect is no longer enabled. i.e. The when a note triggers a MIDI clip, the track contatining that clip becomes the active track, and the MIDI no longer goes thru the track which has its output routed to the master effect (did that make sense?)

If there is some method of routing that I'm missing here, it would be awesome to know the solution =)

Thanks!

Valentin

A turnaround could be to automatically send a message to the api after each midi note is sent to select back the track you send the notes to. (is that clear ?)

That is : the master track, to make it clearer (?)
