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

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.

We're trying to activate the Mac dictation function to write words into a message box without having to manually press the keyboard. We created an OSA script that works in the terminal but is not functioning in the Shell Object.

Our current shortcut to activate it is holding Option + E.

osascript -e 'tell application \"System Events\" to key code 14 using option down'

This is for an assignment due in a week, does anyone have any input or advice?

Hi, I've made a device which aim is to save kind of presets of Live set, it saves mixer and devices parameters using Live API, and fits perfectly my needs. Its main issue is CPU peaks that may be caused by some data loops. Since I am not a Max expert, and I learned it mainly by creating this device and a few (simpler) others, I can't figure out what is wrong (trust me I tried) and I may not have the skills and workflow to diagnose it properly. But this device seams close to be reliable, so it may only take a few minutes for an experienced Max user to find what is wrong, and maybe fix it. Please note that this device is dedicated to be freely shared with the community, but since I need it to be reliable quite quickly I am willing to consider paying for this job. I am open to discuss on the budget. Thanks for your replies !

I've been working on a m4l audio utility device aimed at controlling specific parameters of an Ableton instrument (Simpler).

Right now, I've got this pathway going: "

path this_device canonical_parent devices 0

" and has been working fine until I introduce one or more MIDI devices before the Simpler (like Scale, Velocity, or Pitch). As according to the path, the device will always take info from the first device in the chain...

I was wondering how to correct the path or if there's an entirely different approach that would allow me to control the leftmost device relative to my m4l device. This way, it will always work regardless of the devices placed before Simpler or the number of tracks etc..

Hey everyone!
I've been working on a m4l audio utility device aimed at controlling specific parameters of an Ableton instrument (Simpler). 

live-api-correct-path

you could list all devices in a track, select one less than your device from the list. which shoud be one left to it.
or if you want to select simper, than look for it

thanks so much for your response! that's really interesting. if i copy the example you sent i can see the id of the simpler device in the message box but can't make it to work in controlling the actual simpler device. 

normally, i would put message box for calling actions (like "set ... $1") into the live.object after setting up the appropriate path... btw, i'm still pretty new to this live api, so i hope you don't mind my learning curve on this :)

something like this ?
I don't use live at all, and can't test it, but that should work.


that seems to be working! amazing. thank you soo much! although i need to go to some functions down a level inside the simpler - this is my usual path : path this_device canonical_parent devices 0 sample

you have to use device number of simpler to get sample id

path this_device canonical_parent devices $1 sample
