I'm a recent Max user. I've set up a 3-axis accelerometer and arduino uno into Max using the Maxuino help patch. 

The problem I'm having is that I am only able to have the Max patch read a single axis at a time.

I want to then put that signal into Abelton Live to create music/sounds using the analogue signal from the accelerometer. Can anyone help?

Thank you so much.

Assuming you're using a simple accelerometer breakout board with just X Y and Z output, then it should work fine.

As for controlling parameters in Ableton Live, that's a bit more convoluted - stick with Max, plenty of synths and sounds here. Just need to build 'em.

It's totally doable in M4L as well. Preferably use an Arduino Ethernet + OSC to get data into Live (better performance, better stability, plus if during a performance a cable get loose you just need to plug it back).

I do this by creating a "central" device receiving the data. With [send]/[receive] you can globally distribute them, and pick the up i.e with a device that let's you map the data to Live Param. In fact in almost 90% of my live sets I work this way.

[edit] - just re-read your opening sentence, doh!]

Sorry to usurp the OP's question Jan. Can Live pick up OSC natively? Or does it require M4L? I've just spent a frustrating 2 weeks getting Arduino/M4L/Live to behave themselves and it took a fair amount of tweaking and stress testing. Ultimately I would like to move to OSC for sensor-sound mappings.

ps if I could I would PM you for a didactic example of OSC to M4L

Nope, the mysteries of Live - we write the year 2015 and they don't support OSC, multi-channel tracks or even several MIDI channels per track ;)

I use M4L with [udpreceive] and for mapping the OSC-data to Live params.

Hi, just a question: do you use an 3-axis digital accelerometer H3LIS331DL? Thi is a digital accelerometer that use Grove connection. I'm start to work with this sensor, but all the 3 arduino sketch used don't works. Maybe you have a different sketch (if the sensor is the same).
