Loop 2018 Patches - Adapt to Max for Live Audio Effect

Felix Ahlström's icon

Hi All!

Very new to max and finding it exhilarating so far! the possibilities are truly endless!
I found the patches from Loop 2018 and really love the first patch they showed with the 88 MC filters which I would love to adapt to a Max for Live effect to user on my guitar inside Live. I've managed to route my guitar audio into the filters when using MAX standalone but I can't figure out how to copy the patch into M4L. When I tried to copy the patch to a blank M4L device and connect the plugin and plugout respectively, the filters stop working their magic, both on the loop and on the input signal. I figure it may be a lot going on behind the scenes here which I'm not aware of so if anyone would be so kind to help me figure out how to adapt that patch for M4L I'd be very grateful!

you probably need
mc.plugin~ and mc.plugout~
then make sure scale2.js file is in search path of your amxd file.

I've figured out the inputs and outputs so I'm getting sound through the M4L Device but I think it's the scale file that's missing. I'm ot sure how to set up the search path you mention, any pointers on where to set this up?

just copy that js file next to amxd that you create.
You can also freeze amxd to include it later.

Think I got it, I'll give it a shot tonight. I'm super new to this so thanks a lot for helping me out!
