I'm working on a live show where I'm playing the score for film live, building it in loops & layers and also semi live-editing the accompanying video. 

One thing I've needed to do is to be able to hit a different midi pads throughout my setup that each can send a trigger to Resolume (VJ software) to play the next column of visuals on the next beat #1. Resolume has a device called Parameter Forwarder that sends a signal from Ableton to Resolume, so I've just created a very simple patch that can send the Parameter Forwarder a bang immediately when I hit a midi pad, or have the bang wait until the next beat #1. 

I am a total Max noob, but I figured it out enough to create a very basic patch and get it working most of the time, but there are still a few gremlins in the patch that are coming back to haunt me now that I'm starting to play the show for people live. Here are the issues: 

I've asked ChatGPT which had some thoughts but honestly I don't understand Max well enough to be able to implement the ideas. I would love to learn Max fully someday but I'm really daunted by the thought of it currently. I'd be super grateful for any insight you have. This patch is really important to this show that I'm making and I'd be happy to pay someone for their time helping me to make it more robust. I'd also be happy to do some kind of skill swap, I've learned a ton about Ableton and Resolume for this show and have been a filmmaker & video editor for 15 years in case any of that is helpful to you! 

Here is the patch that I created. I've also attached a photo showing how it's setup in Ableton. (First row are midi mappable buttons that send a next column signal to Resolume, second row of big circles send a next columnn signal to Resolume on the next beat #1)

and here is a little more info for how the parameter forwarder works from Resolume's website

thank you so much for your time reading this, and thank you in advance for your help! i really appreciate it.

I have my live set’s tempo mapped to a knob on a control surface. I want the maximum value for the Tempo’s midi cc to automatically update to the live set’s current tempo (relevant when switching between scenes at different tempos). How can I achieve this? Thank you.

I am looking for someone to help me with recreating this Sennheiser VSM-201 emulation as a Max4Live device.  A vocoding wizard YouTuber by the name of Cmyth created it on Reaper:

I reached out to this person directly to see if he would be able to recreate this in Ableton, which he attempted to do but it didn't come out quite right.  I still have the Ableton project file that he sent me if it would be helpful to look at.  Luckily, in the YouTube video, while Cmyth demonstrates his vocoder he explains what is going on under the hood a bit. 

There are a few plugins that are used to create this sound, including Fab Filter Pro Q 3.  The other plugins he used are free, but Pro Q 3 is not.  I imagine these plugins may have to be built into the Max4Live plugin to work.  I am a Mac user, so whichever third party plugins may be used in this recreation must be Mac compatible. 

If anybody feels this is doable please reach out!

Chris is putting shame to our species, surely u can do a better job? I can't accept us getting beaten a bunch of monkeys like this... 

Granted we aren't getting a peanut when we solve it so that is also a factor but still... 

(They also got me beat though as i can do it nowhere near the same speed as them)

-put both files in the same folder. Open the file that starts with "main" (my poly~ naming convention sucks i know, sorry)

- Start the jit.world and start. Clicking "0" the first time will reset the whole session and i think it's because of lingering values? Don't worry, it doesn't keep an overall score....

In short, willing to pay for someone who can put together a patcher that takes two argument inputs "Track Name" and "Channel" that routes plugout 3/4 to that Track NAME and channel pair input. It would continue to work when creating new tracks, reordering, reloading a set (anything that might change trackid's).

I'm using expert sleepers Eurorack modules  to get 24 CV outputs (time multiplexed) from one audio channel via ADAT. These two gen~ devices do the multiplexing

https://maxforlive.com/library/device/7873/expert-sleepers-es-5-encoder-device

The issue I've faced when working with Push Standalone is that umenu isnt mappable to Push, so I cant edit the routings above. I had to modify the devices to route the esx8cv device output to ~plugout 1/2, then use Live's Audio Routing to send that into the ES5 input 3/4, 5/6 etc. This isn't desirable for many reasons.

I just want a patcher that routes 3/4 out of a Max audio plugin into one of the channel input pairs of the track named 'ES-5'

I have a device here which I purchased - the idea is that it triggers record on Ableton's Looper whilst keeping quantisation. 

I generally like the way it functions but there is a fundamental issues with one thing. It is designed to be used only when the track is "selected" in Ableton and does not function blind or in the background. 

I think I need the patch to be altered ever so slightly in order to achieve this but this is way beyond my skill level in Max. The other alternative is to develop a new device from scratch if this is somehow easier. 

I have reach out to the developer to do the work but it has been 5 years since he made this thing and I having waited a while already I don't think I'm going to get a response.  

I'm searching for someone to commission this project to perhaps this forum might help point me in the right direction.? Please get in touch if you wish to discuss it.

I am working on a project that was given to me by a long time client, it consists of 3 hard drives with a video presentation that was made in Max.

The video presentation was created and edited by someone who is no longer around. My client gave me these drives to figure out how to play / present them. It's a 24 hour span of time looking at a watch, with music and audio clips to be played in sync. He was told he needed 3 macs to play it. He didn't know what software to use, or anything. Also the drives have not been plugged in since 2008, until now. 

When I mounted the drives I found a folder called Cycling 74, and MaxMSPruntime among other settings folders, which led me to find this software. 

Anyone interested or able to help me figure this out? Preferably someone local to NYC? My client spent a lot of resources back then to have this made and it was only presented once. He very much would like to have it working again and I am just grasping at straws to figure this out.
