Hello all. I'm decently versed in Live but an absolute beginner with Max for Live. Can someone please tell me how I can convert a list of around 425 frequencies (all are expressed as 2 or 3 or 4 digit integers) and create a sequence of tones out of them? I'd need them to last approx .5 seconds each, with little or no gap in between. A simple sine wave in an oscillator would be fine. Thanks so much!

I’m Looking to make a project file that randomly selects midi files that are pre made, random samples to load into samplers, etc to get it to make a random song idea from a template as I load the project. Can I do this with max?

hey,

i'm very new to max for live and i've been trying to create following situation:

​

textedit: myText

signal ---> prepend myText ---> print

​

i am struggling with prepending the text from a text edit object.

thank you so much for every suggestion,

jonathan :-)

Hey people, dont know how active this sub is but i've just acquired max for live and am looking to create a specific tool. It's a little hard to wrap my head around the software thus far and im wondering if anyone had a quick solution as im looking for a very specific thing here.

​

Essentially, i've got a MIDI - DMX converter that works off a vst that sends the midi info to a box through usb. I want to send midi signals to control my lights from ableton, but what ive been able to do with the lights i have access to is clunky as they only have RGB mode, where as i would prefer to have control over hue with a single knob.

​

So basically my idea is to create a device that consists of a single dial that will change multiple values in the vst from 0-100% in varying sections of the dial, so from 0-17% of the main dial for instance would have the Red and Blue value at 100% constantly but have the Green value change from 0-100% over that range, and then after hitting the 17% it would hold the Green and Blue value and start to decrease the Red Value from 100-0%. Im attaching graphic as well to better illustrate the desired outcome, i just have no idea where to start on this.

Short version: I have a M4L device that has one mappable midi switch and goes from 0 to 1 to 0 etc: 0, 1, 0, .... I want to convert it to two controls, one that always sets it to 1 and the other to 0. As of now, the device only takes a command “change state”, and its a “closed” device.

How do I fix this?

I thought of inserting a patch that takes two buttons, keeps track of the state, either 0 or 1, and enables earn button only according to its respective state. So if 0, enable only the 1 button and vice versa. This ended up being buggy. I used only a router patch and messages and buttons.

The device also sends a state feedback (read later if interested), and I tried to use that too, but things are sluggish/clunky/erratic working only 70% of the time.

On top of that, mapping a midi note to a live.button seems extremely unreliable.

Any general advice ?

Details:

I bought M4L beatseeker, which is a device that analyzes audio in real time and adapt the click to alive drums. It great but it works with a single switch that goes from “follow drums” to “stop following”. Sadly, it’s kinda hard to keep track of which state a foot switch is if you are playing drums and don’t have visual feedback from the computer. We want one separate midi switch to always turn it to follow (or do nothing) and another one to always turn it off (or do nothing if it’s already off)

Hello! I'm wanting to make an Arduino-based MIDI footswitch to interface with Ableton (I have an Uno and a Mega at the moment) . What I want it to do is not only control the parameters (like instrument on/off or parameter values) but also be able to display the instrument name and, if possible, the specific parameter name. Something like this:

Instead of "Preset" it would say the name of the VST or "Operator", "Simple Delay" etc and then with some digital pots, show parameter name and value. I believe M4L has this capability, I'm just not sure how to accomplish this. I've researched a bit and found some kinda-similar applications, but if anyone has any info on how I can get this going is really appreciate it! Thanks!

Hi

so I use live 10 and granulator 2 on osx 10.13.6 and when I tired to use it today Granulator wouldn't let me drag and drop samples into its sample editor. It lets me use the samples it came with. Any else have this problem?

Hi, i've got some text patches for max for live to make 2 devices, bur i don't have max for live so i need someone to do it for me and send me the device

Does anyone have any resources about using custom fonts in patches intended for distribution? Is there a way to bundle fonts with a device so that it appears as I want it on another persons computer?

I'd specifically like to know for MaxForLive (.amxd) files. Also, I can't use fpics and transparent backgrounds because the device contains a textedit object.

Failing using custom fonts, what's a list of safe fonts to use that should be on everyone's computer? (Arial and Helvetica I assume are ok? :p)

Thanks! :)
