So basically this patch should receive the parent track's name and remove it's first letter. As the title says, this event should happen right between someone pressing "del" on live (or any form of deletion command) and the device actually being deleted. 

I can't for the life of my wrap my head around editing or changing the priority queue.

I have a really odd issue that I have been trying to debug for a week now and I am getting nowhere with it - so maybe someone here has some ideas that might help.

I have an existing M4L plugin that is released and working fine in Live 10, 11 and 12.

I've made some updates to it and Livee now it crashes when a project containing the plugin is loaded into Live 10.1.43 - it does not crash Live 11 or 12.

I've created two new Live 10 projects that only contain the original plugin. One I save with the default plugin settings. The other I save with a change to one live.numbox item.

If I then switch the plugin file to the new version, restart Live 10, and load the project with the default plugin settings it works fine. But if I try and load the project that has the one change saved it crashes every time.

I have now deleted everything else from inside the new version of the plugin apart from the single live.numbox item and the crash still happens - it seems to simply be the act of Live setting the value of the live.numbox that is crashing it. The only thing that might be slightly out of the ordinary is that the live.numbox is in a bpatcher maxpat which is itself contained in another maxpat because this code is reused in a number of other plugins - but these nexted bpatchers have been working fine in previous versions.

I've also found one other UI item, a live.menu, that has the same effect. But other live.menu items in the maxpat work fine and don't cause a crash. Same thing happens with this - if a test project is saved with the original default settings then it works fine, but if the selection of the menu is changed then it crashes when loaded.

I have tried this on Mac and Windows - same crash on both - so I don't think it can be some local config issue. Besides that this has all be working fine for previous releases.

Anyone got any ideas how I can work out what is going on here?

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 ?

Did you ever end up figuring this out? I have the same question.

Hi, i have a very useful patch made by Julien Bayle, 
hope that help you

That patch from Julien Bayle only gives us the name of the playing clip in session view. Has anyone figured out yet how to get the name of the playing clip in the arrangement?
I'm currently working on a patch that wouldn't work at all in the arrangement view, thus also not when you're exporting your arrangement, as long as I don't solve this problem.

Okay, I got a little bit further. I have a solution in theory but it doesn't work in practice.
Clips have a property named is_playing. So I thought I could just iterate through all the arrangement clips and check if is_playing is 1 for one of them. But even if I turn on the arrangement loop and fill the whole loop with clips, all clips have is_playing 0.


However, when I try to read is_playing from a clip in the session view, everything works as expected.


Does anyone know if this is a known bug? Should I report this? Or am I just doing something wrong?

Hi Philippe!
I'm quite busy right now working on my diplomatic thesis (which is also based on Max for Live), but I may be interested. Could you be a bit more specific about what you want to do?

I'm working on a patch that revolves around Ableton's Wavetable device, and need a way to set the modulation matrix programmatically using the js object. From the 

Live Object Model docs for WavetableDevice

, I've discovered some functions attached to the device. I've had no issues setting parameters (using 

) or setting the properties attached to the WavetableDevice.

My issue is that I can't figure out the syntax that the add_parameter_to_modulation_matrix function is expecting. The docs describe Parameter: 

 [DeviceParameter], but I am receiving syntax errors.

I've tried passing the following as arguments:

- Live object_id for the parameter to be added

api.call("is_parameter_modulatable", "parameters " + filterFreqParamId)
or
api.call("is_parameter_modulatable", filterFreqParamId)

- param_index on the device (eg. 26 for Filter Freq 1)

api.call("is_parameter_modulatable", "parameters " + filterFreqParamIndex)
or 
api.call("is_parameter_modulatable", filterFreqParamIndex)

- passing the object as a new LiveAPI instance

var paramApi = new LiveAPI("live_set view selected_track devices " + wavetableIndex + "parameters " + filterFreqParamIndex);
api.call("is_parameter_modulatable", paramApi);

api.call("is_parameter_modulatable", "live_set view selected_track devices " + wavetableIndex + " parameters " + filterFreqParamIndex)

All of these return an error, such as jsliveapi: Invalid arguments: 'is_parameter_modulatable parameters 26'

What is the correct way to pass a DeviceParameter as an argument to a function using the JS Live API like this?

Hey all, I have here a max patch that converts audio to MIDI. The Gain object is acting like a threshold and when audio is played, it will distinguish the next step in my simple sequencer. 

I would like to quantise the MIDI that is produced but am having trouble identifying where in the chain I can insert my metronome I have also created with different beat divitions.

Can anyone sugest how or where to attach my Transport clock to snap the MIDI produced?

I have a midi controller with a grid of programmable buttons. Besides sending a midi message when a button is pressed, I can also send a midi message to the controller to light up a specific button. 

I want to use this grid to light up the index of the clip playing for a certain track and also to be able to trigger the same clip. 

I want this to work regardless if I trigger a clip from the Ableton UI or the controller. This means that just maintaining the state of the controller is not an option, instead I would want to monitor (or poll) the playing state of each clip slot and respond to changes. 

I have created a patch that does this but I am getting this error:
