Parameter forwarder to Resolume can't read the changes in live.dial/Audio to CC
Hello, I have a question regarding forwarding parameter changes to Resolume from Ableton with these devices;
http://resolume.com/blog/8717/max-for-live-resolume-patches
As these devices forward OSC from the parameter changes in Live a friend created a patch for me that converts audio volume change to MIDI CC. You can see it on the screenshot. It has two components; one you place on the track which you would like to forward and another one you place on a blank MIDI track as audio tracks can't output MIDI in Live that track does it for you.
Try it, it's fantastic and attached to the message.
My question is that when I throw in the parameter forwarder I can forward changes in the Live's native devices, even there is automation on them the value on the parameter forwarder automatically directs the output value.
The thing is that when we select .numbox or live.dial on the parameter follower it's steady at 127 even though the live.dial on the left constantly changes according to the volume change on the track. We couldn't figure out how it can read the value ranging between 0-127 automatically. I mean it's no midi anymore just numbers on a parameter so it should read it, doesn't it?
We tried to open modulation from the inspector of device and it didn't work.
We tried to enable automation so maybe it can read it as it wrote as well, didn't work as well!
As you can see we are desperate!
If you can help on this can't tell how grateful we would be - we also can share this audio to MIDI CC patch.
Thanks!
Hi Atay,
Without looking at your patch, it sounds like you are trying to send the current audio level as a parameter to Resolume.
Wouldn't it be easier to do this directly, not via midi? It should be quite easy to copy the OSC sending part from the parameter forwarder to your audio-to-midi patch.
Hth,

Hi Mattijs, thanks for the reply. I actually found the solution by using M4L very own Envelope Follower. Would be much more satisfying if we could use our own patch but still.
The problem there was to send the output of a single channel actually, when Resolume accepts audio it just gets the master channel via Ableton - using Soundflower etc.
Thanks again!
