MIRA and M4L - controlling Ableton sliders

mike fonte's icon

MIRA is running quite well in M4L...many thanks/congrats to the folks who created it.

My question is, if I want to use MIRA to control Ableton sliders, sends, mutes, etc, should I use LiveAPI abstractions, like device parameter?

I know I could do it this way, but is there another approach that might be better?

Also would be nice to select the M4L device from inside MIRA app.

Is LiveAPI control the way to go right now? Other possible workaround?

The LiveApi Abstraction Track.SetSelectedTrackIndex seems to work good.

Could it be that controlling faders and such through the Api, is as practical as controlling things through Midi?
