I'm fairly new to getting Max to talk to other programs and cannot for the life of me get [plugsync~] to work. The patch I'm using is generating MIDI events in [mxj] and then sending them out via [noteout] which are then received and rendered by Live instruments.

This all works fine, but ideally I'd sync the transports between them to unlock all kinds of fun possibilities. From what I've gathered [plugsync~] is the way to go but I can't get it to see the Live transport or really do anything at all. I've tried both ReWire and simply setting Live as the driver in Max, all to no avail. I feel like I'm missing something obvious and any guidance would be most appreciated.

For syncing Max transport with other apps you can use MIDI clock.

[plugsync~] works only in M4L devices.
