"Max Api Device Preseter" - multiple instances how to?
Hi guys,
I tried the newest beta of Max4Live, which includes the terrific "Max Api Device Preseter.amxd".
The patch is great, and works perfect for generic storing of presets for all kind of m4l patches, vst plugins, etc. You can put the plugin on a track, select any plugin in live, and just save presets. Very cool!
I have attached the original version, called "Max Api DevicePreseter.amxd"
-> You might have to install the newest beta of max4live to try this.

-> or later version

Now I wanted to have multiple of those patches in one amxd patch.
Goal of this is to do session automation.
I have attached a first attempt which works fine for one controlled instance
The presets are always stored but not recalled correctly. As soon as I select more than one target to store presets, it gets more flaky.
Could you have a look at this and suggest corrections, or come up with your own version?
Thanks
Emanuel
Hi Emanuel,
as far as I can see you need to change all "---" signs in your abstraction - used in the green value objects - with a "#0". "---" is used for local scope within devices, while "#0" is used for local scope within abstractions. I think that it should work, then. Nice extension of the original stuff, anyway!
HTH,

@Manuel Poletti, Thanks for the tips, that worked well. The final patch is now published over here: http://www.maxforlive.com/library/device.php?id=590
