I'd like to make a device that's able to merge midi from two channels together into one.

For example, I have one drum pad at home with which I like to drum in everything. Logically, every line I play on this instrument ends up on one note. In my ideal setup, I'd have a second midi channel with long legato melodic notes which would be sidechained to the single drum channel. The pitch information of this channel would be merged with all the other midi information from the drum channel.

This way, I would be able to drum in melodic lines with a single pad. This would also be handy for live use.

I know it's possible to sidechain midi into a M4L audio effect, is it also possible in a midi effect?

I'm running through an issue with a device I'm working on.

The idea is to replicate what User Friendly Sound has done in the video linked to this post.

I've completed everything I wanted to do except the option to create a midi note with it's note-on and note-off messages with the gamepad triggers (L2 & R2). In fact, whenever I try to use them, I get a continuous note that stop only if I save the patch. 

I use a simple [==0] object to identify if the trigger is == to 0 or not and from that I use a [togedge] object to differenciate bangs only on 0 on only when it pass 0, don't know if that make sense.

Here's the device with the subpatches (tell me if you don't see the subpatches)

I'm pretty sure I miss something stupid lol

Hey, can someone explain to me how to use deferlow well?

I'm connecting deferlow to the second live.path outlet to send a slot id to live.object and live.observer. The problem is that when I switch between different slot in Live sometimes I receive the id without problems, sometime I receive the message "Setting the Id cannot be triggered by notifications. You will need to defer your response." in the console. I can't understand because sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't... :/

1.) if it says "you must defer something!" that probably means [defer], and not [deferlow].

Thanks Roman, I tried with [defer] too but the problem is the same. I putted [deferlow] because in the Live API web page say:

Note: changes to a Live Set and its contents are not possible from a notification. The error message in the Max Console is 'Changes cannot betriggered by notifications'. In many cases putting a deferlow between the notification outlet and the actual change helps to resolve the issue.

If the notification that is causing the problem is already coming from the low priority thread, adding a defer won't necessarily fix it as it won't necessarily do anything - depending on the patch design. The underlying issue is that an API listener-triggered event is triggering an API side effect action *in the same call chain*. The defer only fixes it if moves the side effect call to a subsequent pass.  You might want to try a delay of 1 ms or something if you can't separate them. 

Iain Duncan, thanks so much for the explication and suggest!

Hi, I am having hard time finding a working vst for a Moog SlimPhatty synth.

Basically I would like to have the following:

I was able to achieve this in the past using this 

, but it is no longer mantained and it doesn't work on Apple Silicon.

Here there is an M4L device for this synth 

https://maxforlive.com/library/device/1002/m4l-moog-phatty-editor

 but unfortunately it still records midi ccs instead of parameters that can be automated in the arrangment.

Any idea if this is achievable using Max 4 Live? Any example that can I look at?

I have just found that midiin & midiout objects don't work when used inside an M4L device (work fine in Max standalone though). I need them to work because I can't use the standard midi input/ouput inside a M4L midi device (basically I don't want Ableton to record midi for a particular hardware synth).

The workaround I am using is to add an external standalone Max device that does the midi in/out and communicate with the M4L device using udp/OSC, which is not very ideal.

Would be possible to make midiin & midiout objects working even inside an M4L device? Or is there any other way to do this without using an external Max standalone device?

Hi, I've never used MAX/MSP before but I'm familiar with programming and am finding it fun to mess around with. I'm trying to modify a device that transposes tracks so that it only transposes MIDI pitches above 20 - this is to allow me to use keyswitches for different articulations while still being able to transpose the rest of the track.

So far I've come up with this, but if you notice, every value seems to be true and nothing is going to false, despite being out of the range of split. 

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong at this point so any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I was just wondering if this is the only/most effient way to create mappable matrix for sequencers in maxforlive.

If you have any suggestions, I would be really glad. Maybe something that is scalable cause I realised I maybe want 16 step loll

Hello. Tearing my hair out here so I'm wondering if anyone can help. Running Live 12.0.5 on Windows 11 to latest update. i7-12700H 2.3Gh, 64GB RAM, RTX 3070Ti. When the screen goes black after a 1 min timer, a blank set with one MIDI channel and no devices causes no issues. If I add an empty Max patch to the channel and let the screen sleep, the fans kick in significantly. Using Performance monitor and adding CPU task counters shows the Live and Max executables spiking. This is also consistent when opening Max directly from the Ableton Resources folder, even if Live is not running.

So does anybody know what is causing Max to use more CPU when the screen turns off?
