You could build an application for any of those sequencers, assuming the MIDI information exists in the Max application you build. For Live, you can utilize MaxForLive and use the timeline.

Route the MIDI from your kit into MaxMSP, use it to step through data in the patch. Send the MIDI information as you step through it in MaxMSP to a midiout object and set the port to "from MaxMSP1". Then, in your sequencer, use "from MaxMSP1" as the MIDI input for an instrument channel.

Good luck with your patch.

Help/Max Tutorials.

Phil,
They are found in the application. The Help menu > Max Tutorials, MSP Tutorials and Jitter Tutorials.

Im still going through them myself, but they are spectacular and a great resource.

You can alt-click on an object in an unlocked patcher to show the help / reference for that specific object, as well.
