Hello,

I am trying to create multichannel m4l devices but am struggling to send audio between devices in live 10.

My method:

First I load a few instances of my M4L patch in Live 10 with 10 channels on the pulgout and plugin. I then get the device path, then a pair of audio_outputs, then set the routing_type to it's own channel, then ask it for the available_routing_channels, then when I go to use the id's it gives back the live.object says "invalid id".

I'm really stuck as this seems like a bug in m4l. I have tried numerous patches with various strange results, one time it even passed back an m4l device id in the list of available_routing_channels. I have reinstalled a clean Live 10 (problem continues). Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have been working on this nearly daily for over a month (Masters Project).

I know it’s possible in Live 10 as the Envelop patches (http://www.envelop.us/software) mange to pass multi-channel audio between them, but they are using the “RoutingObjects” and “BrowseRouting” patches taken from Ableton’s Surround Panner M4L device. I am trying to cook my own as these objects are so heavily connected with the umenu object.

Here’s a patch with some basic stuff to get you started if you want to have a play. (you will need to click around, change id numbers and copy over the routing_type dict)
