RedBox custon device

Ondřej Pernica's icon

Hi all.

I want to create device with midi mappable numbers input (scene), which will allow me to move start of "red box" on that scene.

F. E. I call number 5, the redbox will contain scene 5 to f.e. 12 (total of 8 scenes, only master track)...

But the problem is, I want to launch these "redboxed scenes" by pressing some notes (does not matter which, but i have an DIY controller with 8 buttons), so the device must "create" this redbox.. (Not only moving with it like scripts for Launchpads).

Can someone help me? I am new to Max so IDK how to do....

You would need to create the red box with a Custom Python Script, MaxforLive can interact with it and in fact change it but i believe it needs to be in the script for the controller in the first place...

I made a device that does exactly what you're asking for (although compatibility with recent versions of Live may be an issue). As S4racen said, You need to create the redbox in a script, then you can interact with it from M4L.
