Are the any good strategies for taking max midi controls and mapping them in live via the midi map or through pretending that max is another hardware controller?

If there is a tutorial somewhere that adresses this I would gladly read it!!!

Sure. I've used Live and a Motor Mix (which Live doesn't support); I 

just had Max put out generic MIDI controller messages and used Live's 

mapping setup to bind everything together.

Thanks. I knew it was possible, but figuring it out will be fun. I am thinking about binding things together using the officially unsupported userconfiguration.txt method and just start feeding things in from there. This would be the easiest to organize and to visualize.

My major concern is that I don't much care about standard transport controls. I need to modulate some instruments and macros.

Perhaps the best solution would be a custom tailored set. I'll think about it over dinner.

To say map a midi note to 'play' in Live:

send your Midiout or Noteout (via keybaord to object or '60 100' message. )

Now in Live you can see that 'Play' has a little note that is written on it.

Max can now get Live to play using that particular noteout.

This can then be extended to many other functions. You may find xbendout is useful sometimes, depending on what you want to do.

Max can now get Live to play using that particular noteout. 

Thank you both very much for your help. The IAC bus item was tricked me last week, but I got it to work for my notes when I realized that adding busses in the audio/midi utility added them directly to the noteout scroll window.

The problem I was having with interaction between max and live was that although I did select MAXMSP1 in Live's preferences, I never selected it as a remote device. So, I was getting indications of midi in, but no controls would stick under live's midimap.

All sorted out now! Now my difficulties are purely with studying max again.

You'll learn a lot after you figure it out :)

I am surprised how much I have already learned, and yet how much my appetite is growing!

Have you managed to control things like effects, filter sweeps etc through Midi messages?

I'm doing a project that uses Midi to change between different parts, but would also like to control effects in this way. Does anyone have any tips on that?

Thanks for asking that Venetian. I am working on the same thing, and at this point I do not mind this thread changing directions towards this focus as my original question was solved.

I am currently using a series of random objects to generate notes. I have been playing around with mean and bucket a lot and I like the visual data I get on sliders. The counter object seems particular helpful for producing immediate results.

In the future I intend to focus more on developing items autonomously in the Max environment, but right now I would like to try out my preliminary max patches with the assistance of Live because it is very familiar to me.

Here are some specific things I would like to know, as I am continuing through the tutorials and consulting the max reference manual:

I thought about using the averages of streams of random (for now) numbers to change the value of cc's. For example, to change the frequency on an eq. I would like to find away of having it accumulate and and average (using the mean object), yet periodically, say every 4000ms start over. I thought that the result might produce an interesting effect. I am having a difficult time getting the values that are stored to reset.

I feel like the coll and funbuff objects really could help alot too. I am in the process of investigating them right now.

If there are any suggestions as to where I should concentrate please feel free to share.

I've just dug out an older patch which I need to get working on 

Does anyone know of a replacement for Panaiotis's excellent matrix/ 

MultiMatrixCtrl and Multijoin objects? (Ie using maxtrixctrl to 

switch max messages rather than signals). The old objects won't load 

I've just dug out an older patch which I need to get working on  
MacIntel.

Does anyone know of  a replacement for Panaiotis's excellent matrix/

on Intel.

I 'mailed Panaiotis some time ago to ask about updating autocount for UB,

which very kindly did and sent me a copy.

He also said at the time that he'd get round to doing the rest of his

objects if someone were to remind him, so perhaps you might like to do that,

Hey David! There is an object called [router] that is included in 

Max/MSP now. Does what [matrix] does/did. Hope that helps.

Thanks Nathan, it looks like that will do it for me - I don't think I 

was using any of the cool features of Panaiotis's object anyway! I 

imagine that I can replace Multijoin with some LObjects - once I find

where Multijoin is hiding in my patch!

Or with standard [zl join] objects, should be a snap and is future proof...

thank you for hints and solutions if autocount as a 64-bit external is available (osx, win)
