I am working on something I would like to use for my theatre-stuff, but I cannot figure out why it does not work the way I progammed it:

I created a Max for Live device which checks if a clip is playing. When the desired clip is fired, an action should follow.

That way I can use clips on my APC or Launchpad to automate stuff.

To see which clip is fired, I use the "playing_slot_index" property in the "live.observer"-object which is working fine; in my device you can select the track (starting with 0) and (this far) you can check if the first 4 Clips are fired.

I programmed a patcher with a tempo-set to test the thing. The "set tempo" is triggered with a bang but Live does not change the tempo to the desired value however, if I manually click the message for the tempo, Live DOES change it. I think somehow the bang does not trigger the message when I try to use the clip for doing so, which is strange since I can see the bang light up... Any ideas on this? Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I use Max 6, Live 9 and a Macbook with OS X 10.10

tempo-change-via-max-for-live-object-does-not-work-when-automated-via-clip

I just added a [deferlow] object before your live.object that is changing tempos. You can't trigger changes from a live.object by using notifications from a live.observer. Using your original patch I got an error stating : Changes cannot be triggered by notifications. You will have to defer your response. Simply putting a [deferlow] anywhere between your live.observer and live.objet will circumvent this issue, and your patch should work just fine!

this is actually a case of what we in Germany call Betriebsblindheit... One look at the Max Window and the error and I would have maybe tried the same. Thanks for your kind help, now the device is working as expected!

Tempo Change via Max for Live Object does not work when automated via Clip :/
