Hi! I am creating a series of M4L devices that use the same open gl context name. The context name is made out of the track id where the devices are sitting.  I have a device that I call "source" which is the one with the jit.world, and when I place this device alone in a track in Ableton, the jit.world window have the name of the context correct, and when I add the other devices to the same track, they all project into the same jit.world window. The problem comes when I close ableton project and open it again, then the jit.world window have a u<random number> type of name. I delete the other devices and the problem is solved. I can´t figure out why that is happening. I attached the source device and the other 2 devices patch.

Issue with Open GL context name and initiation of device in Ableton Live

 I am developing 2 max for live devices, one to control video clips playback, and another to overlay pictures on top of the video of the 1st device. They both share the same open GL context name base on the track id where the device is sitting. I manage to overlay the pictures but they appear as a black square. I experiment with the depth and blend attributes but none seems to make any difference, because the black square is always there.

Transparency of jit.videoplane not working

Hello! I need help naming the context for jit.gl objects. I am working in a patch that have a source movie playing from a jit.gl.movie and going through some jit.fx and finally reaching a jit.gl.videoplane that fix that video to a specific layer. Then there is, on one side, a jit.gl.text that I move with mouse clicks with a jit.gl.handle, and on the other an fpic , both of them in different layers. I read in the max documentation that when working with jit.world the context should be name, so I name the jit.world as vworld and type that name into every jit.gl object there is in the patch, and now nothing is being displayed.

I am not sure I understand how to name the context correctly. For example, if I read a video with a jit.gl.movie and that video get resize with jit.gl.texture, goes through some effects and then ends in a jit.gl.videoplane to be position in a specific layer, should I only name the last jit.gl.videoplane with the context name? or every jit.gl along the way? I tried both and it doesn´t work either way.

I made a live.text button and insert on it a svg picture, and it works well, so I decided to copy-paste this button to trigger other objects, but it stop working. It have a lighter color than the original one, but every aspect in the inspector seems to be the same as the original. What am I missing?

I am sending text with textedit to jit.gl.text to be display on top of movie clips. I would like to be able to write text in different lines, and so far I can only write in one single line. I looked into the the textedit inspector and there is a maximum lines option, but can´t figure out how to enter text and hit enter and continue typing text. There is also a Separator option but I choosed a symbol thinking that it would be understood as a line separator but it seems it doesn't work that way. Probably is something very easy to do, but can´t figure it out.

I am using a live.num object ranging from -200. to 200. and when I select the object and goes  one time up with the arrow keys, automatically jump from 0 to 8.36. Is it possible that goes up or down one by one? I tried also scrolling with the mouse on the last decimal and the result is the same. The object setting is a float number.

I need to delete part of the path I am getting into my patch in order for the jit.gl.movie I am using, can read the file. I am using regexp object to do it but still leave part of the path I need to substitute. What am I doing wrong?

I have a problem. In an Ableton Live set I am working on I did at some point make a max for live patch with ; max maxwindow in it to open the console window to check a few things while i was working.

This worked great, but I am done with the console window now, but even if I close it everytime something is printet to the max window (like a number being out of range, or udpreceive is binding to port etc.) the window pops up again! In the middle of the screen. Close it, same thing happens every message. I am not triggering any ;max maxwindow messages, and if i open the patches in another liveset I don't have the problem.

Is there a way to deactivate the max window again in this liveset?

Resolved: Turns out Granulator 2 was the problem.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read.

I am working on a device that adds an audio clip to the currently selected track at the transport position in Live.

When I attempt to call the "create_audio_clip" function, I get an error like such :

live.object: Please provide an absolute path: 'create_audio_clip Macintosh HD:/Users/joewalsh/Desktop/ABSCasing_f_1.wav 10680.0'

I'm currently using a .wav file on the desktop for testing, but have tried other file locations as well with no luck so far.

Any help and/or advice you can offer me would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you!

UPDATE:  I found out that by adding /Volumes to the beginning of the file path, it now works properly.

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'
