I started learning M4L back at the beginning of the year... going through all the tutorials... but haven't really used it since.

Now I have a need... I'd like to output to a simple .txt file the position (measure number) of each clip on a track in arrangement view.... 

I stumbled across this, which made me realize such a thing should be possible.. but having trouble getting started.. would appreciate any tips while I attempt to figure this out.

The intent is to use this list of track numbers in Premiere Pro to automate the creation of keyframes.. (that part, I have already accomplished ;). ).. "just" need to get the data from Live.

I need some help. I tried to fix the issue myself but can't figure a way to solve the issue. Thank you in advance.

I work on a couple of M4L devices with floating window and a zoom-able UI. For the zooming part I use a piece of code (js ps.window_zoom.js) I've found here 

https://cycling74.com/forums/how-to-scale-a-ui-acording-to-window-size

Now I run into two issues (see images for a better understanding):

I'd like to use a midi note or cc to press a Live.button. Currently it takes one press to turn it on and one to turn it off. Is there a way to have it listen to on/off commands and behave like a mouse click does?

Can anyone tell me if abl.device.drumsampler exists? I've seen it on a c74 YouTube video and in a screen shot,  but can't find it anywhere in max. I've got the lastest update for ableton + max. I'm totally stumped!

How do I get the name of a track (MIDI, instrument, or audio) in a message? So if the channel in Ableton is named "Diva 05" or whatever, and I have a M4L audio effect, how can I get that as a message in my Max patch? Seems simple but I can't find a way in the Live API. Only can find "track id"

I don’t really have a background in programming, but I really appreciate this community and all the amazing work people do here 🙌🍺

I’m having some issues with my MIDI setup involving a few 

 user, and lately I’ve also been enjoying 

When I send a simple melody from Ableton to my 

For a long time I thought this was a hardware issue with the synths themselves. However, a few days ago I tested the exact same MIDI material in 

, and the synths stop cleanly there  no stuck notes at all.

After digging into it a bit more, I realized that 

Ableton does not use “true” MIDI Note Off messages

, but instead uses the newer implementation of 

It seems that some older synths don’t fully handle this behavior, which may explain the stuck notes.

convert “Note On with velocity 0” into a true Note Off message

ChatGPT helped generate some code for this, but I don’t really have any programming knowledge, and I wasn’t able to implement it successfully.

So I was hoping someone here could help either by explaining how to do this properly, or maybe even by coding a simple Max device that does exactly this.

, and I’d also love to understand more about what’s going on under the hood.

I know that you can fill up a 1 row live.grid with random 0 and 1 values, yet, I'm interested if you can control the density of this randomness somehow?

I mean, if the user sets the "density" to 100%, the whole grid would be filled with 1s.
