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!

Ableton 12 was announced today! I am curious to see if there are new possibilities in regards to Max and the API. 

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?

urgent-help-needed-configuring-a-max-for-live-device

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 ):(

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 :
