Set automated follow actions?
Hi,
i had a beatstep Pro and one feature i really loved is that it´s possible to hold a modifier key and press, for example, pattern 1 two times, pattern 4 one time and pattern 6 two times. The beatstep then would play the sequences in this duration and order in a loop.
This would be an awesome feature for Ableton Live/maxforlive.
Does anyone of you fine people here have an idea on how to approach this with maxforlive?
Is it possible to set follow actions with the LOM? I haven´t found it here:

Cheers for any hint!
Sorry to dissapoint but follow actions aren't exposed to the API so you have to roll your own...

Thanks !
I wonder, would this be interesting for you to make since you allready have the "Follow" Device on your website?
The idea would be to have a given track, Audio or Midi, and simply tap in a sequence of clips on this track to be played in a loop.
For some reason i believe this would be a great addition to ableton Live :)
Cheers
Not something I'd be in a position to look at in the near future I'm afraid.
We have an option to observe the number of loops on the playing clip and trigger the follow action chosen after that number has been reached.
Working out a way to tap in an entire sequence though would require a lot of effort and since we released the device it's not something than anyone's requested...
Cheers

thanks, i totally understand.
i guess it´s time for me to really dig into the LOM then :)
