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

if it is not 0  then you get  id 0 or nothing

something like this (you need to test it)


on the right, device number / id pairs get stored into coll,
and simpler id recalls it's device number


Thank you so much, you're a genius! :) That was super clear and helpful -  much appreciated!

I have a pattrstorage at top level set to greedy 0, and some pattrstorages in sub patches , so when I change my top level, the presets of the sub patches change too. To save on CPU I set all my pattrstorages to change mode 1. The problem is, if I change some parameters in a sub patch, and then recall a set of presets from the top level, the top pattrstorage doesn't know I've changed some parameters because it can only see the preset number, which hasn't changed. What is a good way, from top level, to force the sub patcher preset to be recalled if its parameters have been changed? I could change output mode to listen for parameter changes but I'm concerned that would be too intensive and redundant ( I have a lot of sub patchers) . See below for a basic example

The newly founded ligeti center in Hamburg is offering a job for a research assistant in digital arts practice.

We are looking for an early career researcher (composer, computer/media scientist, musicologist or similar) with a sound knowledge in music programming (Max externals, JavaScript, Python) and the ability to reflect on societal/artistic developments driven by current media practice.

The ligeti center offers an unique opportunity to work within a transdiciplinary setting dedicated to music, theatre, media, health and technology. The center has two clusters of work groups, jointly operated by the university of music and drama, the university of applied sciences, the technical university and the university medical center Eppendorf: one dedicated to music and medicine, and the other to the transfer of knowledge, ideas and technology. The latter houses six labs: innovation lab, artistic research lab, sustainable theatre lab, haptics lab, extended reality lab and production lab. The advertized job would be both in the innovation and artistic research labs.

The center is dedicated to György Ligeti who in the 1970s helped to lay the foundations of computer music in Hamburg, a city with a vibrant music life, where both Logic and Cubase/Nuendo are being developed to this date.

Your attachment gives me the message "access denied.."


Sounds super interesting, although I might be quite underqualified for that specific job. But if there's room for a Co-Worker finishing his Bachelor Degree in Music Education with some decent Max Programming Skills in terms of Audio and Video, I'd be more than interested.


i always find it interesting when such positions require various very specific technical skills (as if "theater and health" related things could only be programmed in python^^), while on the other hand didactic and paedagogic knowledge are not even mentioned.

the practice of letting the tax payer fund institutes which are basically private projects of their founders and whos work results are not open to the general public is highly questionable. okay, i have to admit that i really only know one of them well enough to develop such an opinion. :) but for the one i am thinking of it was true and it was quite a frustrating experience back then.


Roman, thanks for venting your frustration. As you know statistics is based on large numbers. How do you know what this center (i.e. position) is all about? The first phase of it brought Drawsocket to you and the general public (https://forum.ircam.fr/projects/detail/drawsocket/) and has been a great boon for networked music performance and interactive scoring. MaxScore was also funded by tax payers' money and is freely available to you if you ever considered music notation in Ableton Live. Time to change your opinion as to how your tax money is spent by institutions such as the ligeti center?

https://forum.ircam.fr/projects/detail/drawsocket/ 

ever considered music notation in Ableton Live

both of these have only engaged in "western" music notation 😭 #HumanityIsLostForever
(just kidding... i like your music, Georg, you have my trust, anyways... i hope you find the best person for the job 😇)
