Hello everyone! I made this simple device to control parameters of Ableton with my cursor movement. You can also record your automation through the device's X and Y axis parameters and then paste the automation on your desired parameter's lane. For more information you can check the video I made or visit the github repo:

I made this little M4L device that lets you change your selected parameters value in Ableton with an encoder. You can also map the parameter to the encoder by a click on a button (or ideally the encoder, if it has a button integrated).

I don't know if it's the place to talk about this but I'd really love if the ableton LOM allowed the loading of devices into tracks.

Some examples like loading a drum rack into a track. Or changing the simpler - aka the sample -  from a drum cell inside a drum rack.

I really love all the work the team is putting and really loved all the new LOM features from 12.0.5!

Is there a working way to track changes in drum rack - chains without having to specify the path to each of the chains? 

Or at least a way to avoid doing it manually to make the patch easier? 

Because if I don't do this, changes are observed only on the last device in the chains :(

I found a free max4live sequencer and would like to add a feature that allows me to save multiple sequencing pattern setups

Later, I would like to add other features (playing sequences backwards for example, controlling the velocity, etc.).

The objective being to have unprecedented professional gameplay, I would like to find a collaborator to work on the development of this virtual machine.

In the end, I would like the sequencer to resemble that of an hardware device, a groove box like Elektron Digitatk, but much better :) and that it would be very easy to edit the patterns in Ableton Live.

If you know of a more complete free sequencer, please let me know. It will be easier to develop one from this one.

Ps: I like the gameplay the above max4live device, inspired by Elektron, but we cannot do automation in Ableton Live. That is to say that you cannot save the settings of different patterns or modulate the parameters of the different patterns in the arrangement view of Ableton Live.

Ableton 12 was announced today! I am curious to see if there are new possibilities in regards to Max and the API. Figured I'd create a place to point out cool stuff it as it rolls out. Cheers!

I need some adjustments to be made to a device within the next few hours but I am relatively new to Max for Live. Is there anyone in the forum that would be willing to kindly assist?
