The patch is suppose to generate a midi note and this part that I am attaching is suppose to alter the note with pitchbend. Since the notes that I am generating have different sustains I want to bend the pitch individually, which would need MPE. I got this working with Xfer Serum, but it won't work with other synths in Live (Wavetable, Opereator, etc) and Serum2. I don't know whats the problem. I want some help.

I'd like to control Live parameters from my M4L device and I am wondering how I can use String Representation instead of the min max numbers. Currently I can only send numbers in the min/max range not the actual values on the Live Device:

 parameter in Operator has a 0.00 ms to 20.0 s range but min and max values I get in my M4l device are 0.0 to 1.0 

How can I send 0.00 ms to 20.0 s values to Live instead of using min and max?

I am having problems with loading presets that use mapul8tor, basically it seems the parameters bindings are broken on loading the preset. In the Max Console window I see errore like:

I really would like to fix these errors but it is a complicated patch and I could really use a bit of help. I have looked inside the patch, I found this 

 subpatcher that I think is responsible for the parameters binding functionality. Any idea what could be causing this issue?

How would you store an undefined number of values, or lists in a Live Set ?

For example, if you want to create a device to save/recall "snapshots" for any Live device. Let's say a "snapshot" would be a list of id+value pairs. 

I know how to store presets with the pattr system, but my understanding is it works with a predefined number of UI elements. What am I missing ?

I'm trying to implement a saving and recalling presets functionality using dict and js. To access an object within a subpatcher with a unique name ("---object", for example), I am using this code:

return this.patcher.getnamed("---main").subpatcher().getnamed("---object").getvalueof();

This works fine until I try to use it after freezing the patcher, where I start to get error messages saying that the object is null. I assume this is related to unique names being assigned with additional characters after freezing? Or am I missing something?

Just to reference the structure of the patch - both dict and js code are located and called in the main patcher, and the objects (with unique names) I'm trying to access are located in the subpatcher (with a unique name as well).

I'm trying to figure out how to loop a sequence of samples (Round Robin) playing a single MIDI drum pad repeatedly.

I also need to be able to reset the sequence via another Drum Pad (MIDI mapped) so next time I hit the other pad the sequence starts on the first sample again.

So far, I found 3 different methods of achieving that effect (almost) in Ableton:

Problem: none of these methods allow to reset the sequence via MIDI mapping.

Unfortunately I don't know Max4Live, to fix this myself.

Maybe  someone here  can help me achieve the desired effect :)

I'd like to get the currently playing clip name. I have no problem getting the name of a session clip, but I want to keep track of the currently playing clip, either in session or in arrangement.

The only way I see for now to get the clip currently playing in arrangement would be to get all arrangement clip ids, get the current transport time, and check for all of them if the current time fits into the starting and end points. That can't be that twisted, can it ?

I looked into this issue and didn't find a lot of answers that helped.

I'm an electronic music major. This semester in my electronics ensemble I'm trying to build a device that converts incoming audio data to midi, simply enough I want to build a device that when I blow into a microphone, creates midi triggers exponentially, sort of like unlocking the built in arpeggiator in ableton and using miliseconds. The issue I'm having currently is that when I open the edit window for a midi device and use an EZADC~ and a plugin~ device the device wont stay on. 

I'm not sure why this is happening. Is it because I don't currently have an active MaxMSP license?

I'm not new to MaxMSP by a long shot, I've been using this program for years, however I am brand spanking new to Max4Live, is this a common issue?

PS any pointers to building a patch like this would be helpful as well.
