Multiple sliders midi out - HELP!
Hi!
I'm creating a midi interface in MaxMSP, to route some jitter-color tracking on to Ableton live! The thing I need to do is to make a midi-interface similar to a hardware one. I need 16 buttons, and 8 sliders. The buttons is no problem just sends out a midi note that triggers an on/off funktion in Live, no worries!
Now, my problem is that only two faders will work at the same time. I've used the midi_tester as my start off point. I use the "ctlout" to send one slider, and another "ctlout 1 1", to send another one. Both sending "from MaxMSP 1" to Live. But I can't connect anymore sliders to any of the two, or make more "ctlout"'s. What can I do? As I said I need 8, and I'm lost now. I've tried giving them differen channels and numbers and Live acknowleged this, but this was with both sliders connected to "ctlout 1 1", and when I connect the second one. The first one causes a reaction to the same function in live BUMMER...
Thanks
All help is welcome.
mmh, I'm not sure that I understand ...
Your problem is that you want more than one slider of the multislider to be
sent to a ctlout right ?
Hi, thanks foor taking an interest!
This is for my bachelor project at design college, I am a designer, not a programmer, so I'm a bit lost right now.
I hope you can see the picture! What I want is to be able to make more midi sliders (values) int's if you will (I guess), sorry I'm so bad at this. I'm a newbee, I don't even know where to paiste the code you sent me? Please let me know.
Anyway, as you can see on the picture the two sliders controls the two marked dials, but if I add more to one "ctlout", I can make live recognise the diference, but when I move either one attached to the same "ctlout 1 1", the same dial moves in Live... I'm so out off ideas, perhaps becouse I know to litte. Have been, through all the helps, and the manual four times.
Thanks a lot.

Found out how to paiste the code... Sorry! My brain stopped working about 7 hours ago...
Here is my code.
Hope you can help.
To open a patch in text format, copy it, and in max -> file -> new from
clipboard, or copy it, and in max -> new -> paste.
I have to admit I still don't understand exactly your problem, but I try
anyway.
1st, I think it is MUCH better to specify arguments to ctlout, i.e. ctlout 1
1 = controller 1 on midi channel 1.
On the pic, you are in midi learn mode in ableton, so I guess you have to do
this:
1- select a knob in ableton you want to midi-control
2- move the slider in max that goes in ctlout 1
the knob is now assigned to controller nr 1
3- select another knob you want to midi-control
4- move a slider in max that goes in ctlout 2,
u.s.w...
If you connect many sliders to ctlout 1, they all send infos only on midi
controller 1, so I guess it's normal that only the knob assigned to ctl1 in
ableton moves...
Good luck.
