Mapping tempo from an Ableton live session into a number box in max.
Hello
I am tying to map parameters from Ableton live to max msp / max for live. More specifically I want to map the live session tempo to a number box in max. Whats the easiest way to do that? I know that with "ctlout" object you can map the number box to the tempo in live (that means that if you change the number box, tempo changes but not the other way. When you change the tempo from the session it doesn't affect the number box). I tried using the "ctlin" object but it doesn't perform the same way as "ctlout" when you try to map the parameters.
I would be very thankful if someone knows how to do this.

Alternatively :
But OP seems to be more related to how to send this value out of Live into MAX, using something different from [ctrlout] ? As far as I can see, [s MYMESSAGE] / [r MYMESSAGE] works only if M4L patch is opened together with MAX patch ? [udpsend] / [udpreceive], maybe ?
I don't know if that is too much for ableton users,
but tempo normally has up to 3 decimal places float precision.
which leaves OSC as only method if that float has to be sent from Live to Max standalone app.
The "plugsync" works perfectly in Max for Live, it doesn't in Max msp. I found it very easy to use and it has some other interesting functions.
The other options didn't worked for me but I have seen them all over the internet so they gotta work somehow.
Appreciate you all!
the link package is built for this specific feature https://cycling74.com/feature/abletonlink
you can install it from the package manager. Activate the link button in live and it will seamlessy report tempo and beats in max via the [link.session] object
