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!

whats-new-in-ableton-12

I'm so excited for Live 12. I'm coming from Bitwig and the grid, just recently fell in love with Max. Can't wait to see if there are new possibilities. 

I know! It's so exciting to see the new stuff we'd be able to do with the object model. 

Also, it's not very often that you see somebody migrating from bitwig to ableton. Hopefully you can get over the relative instability of the software...

in the patch notes they mentioned stuff about a few new objects in max 8.6, including "Array and String objects". Once I get beta access i'm excited to see what these will unlock. Theres also live.modulate~ which im excited to mess with. 

oh and ofc the new m4l stuff for midi tools. i'm very hopeful that there'll be an explosion of super creative devices taking advantage of the new format. if only they added similar tools for audio clips as well...

Thanks for the good news! I'm excited to see where things go :-)

I saw the news about Ableton 12, and I couldn't help but feel excited. You see, I've been a fan of Ableton for quite some time now, and every new version brings a mix of curiosity and anticipation.

One thing I'm particularly interested in is how they've improved Max and the API integration. In the past, I've had some incredible moments of creativity thanks to these updates. They've allowed me to experiment with unique soundscapes and push the boundaries of what I can create.

As Ableton 12 unfolds and more features are revealed, I'm eager to see how the community embraces them, especially the guys from FAQAudio. It's always inspiring to see fellow music producers uncover hidden gems and come up with innovative ways to use the new tools.

What's New in Ableton 12!

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?

within hours?? it's possible here(not volunteering myself, just mentioning to help you find the help you need faster), but you might also want to go onto Discord and find the Max/MSP group there(real-time chat there can sometimes get you answers faster). hope it helps.

note that the thread is flagged "beginner" and "advanced" at the same time, so it must be really urgent.

hmmm  is it a question for advanced beginners  or for people who just began being advanced ???  Life is full of riddles ):(

that few hours have passed, and anyway if that was so urgent,
one would at least post few details about it or even a patch...

Hi, I am developing a Max for live device that allows users to control midi parameters with their movements for a research paper.

I am creating this post for people to download the device but also to ask kindly if anyone would please answer some of the questions provided with the device and send their replies either in this post or at :

I'm using the "live.drop" object, it allows me to drag and drop multiple files into it, while "dropfile" accepts entire folders, maybe someone knows a way to combine both of these methods to populate all files in "umenu"?

I am trying to design a Max For Live device that allows me to remotely control clip parameters (especially the Ableton's Follow-Action modes) using a dial, fader, tab etc... The issue would be probably to read the number of clips in a channel in session view, be able to select them all and maybe convert the list of follow action time divisions to MIDI values.

Anyways, I can’t find the right API path to this section (see screenshot).

Launch Mode is a clip property so you can get to it with this path-

I don’t believe we have access to the follow actions in the API though?

I am looking for a Max4Live Patch for sending MTC out of Ableton that can be used to Sync Logic to Ableton via MTC. I know some Max users have already created patches to do this. I have zero experience with Max, Im happy to pay for someones time if they can provide instructions of how to set it up with the IAC bus

I would've never seen this ticket if all those tags weren't there. Super helpful. 

Here's some documentation on doing this: ftp://arts.ucsc.edu/pub/ems/maxtutors (I've never done it, but a google search turned up a few threads that have covered this in the past).


MTC can be generated in M4L but Live doesn't allow to send it out with standard MIDI routing. So you'd need some 3rd party external for MIDI output which may work or not depending on your system. Unfortunately there is no proper general solution.
