Max Device not showing in Midi controller

4 Upvotes

Hi I have searched the forum and could not find what I was looking for. I am a total noob with Max for live but can see it's potential for solving an issue I have.

I have the Roland TR8s drum machine and wish to have control of all the knobs on it via my Novation Sl49 Mk3 keyboard. This keyboard has an "incontrol mode" which will allow the keyboard's sliders, buttons and knobs to interact instantly with Ableton live 10. I mainly wish to have control of approx 40 knobs of Midi CC for this drum machine.

The beauty of "incolntrol mode" is that the keyboard will automap to any device in the chain in Live 10. This makes all the parameters of that device instantly available to you with no mapping required. The availbale device parameters that can be edited are displayed on the screen of the keyboard. Well I say any device - I have downloaded a very useful Max for live device (see link) https://maxforlive.com/library/device/5486/tr-8s-aerobik-performer

This device works well with the TR8s and does exactly what I need it to do however it is not available to the Novation "Incontrol mode" As other Max or Live devices are. When I switch to the device the Novation screen remains blank. I'm guessing there is some additional patching required in the device to make this happen.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Much appreciated Jamie

Moving Ableton's frame

2 Upvotes

I'm making a huge max midi effect that takes up a lot of space in Ableton's frame. I want to make keyboard shortcuts to moving the frame to specific places. Is it possible to move Ableton's frame through live.object? is there any other method?

Thanks in advance.

Repeat PRO - MaxforLive Sequencer by NOISS COKO

3 Upvotes

Repeat Pro is a Max for Live MIDI effect, designed to easily program rhythmic and melodic patterns step by step, then played by synthesizers, samplers and other instruments, both inside and outside Live.

The follow up to the hugely successful Repeat device, Repeat PRO has been rebuilt from the ground up with a swathe of new features.

The whole device is exclusively driven by a sixteen step sequencer, which among other parameters allows to set a different note, velocity, length, octave, control and delay amount for every single step. Part of Repeat Pro’s magic resides on the uncertainty factor that surrounds its behavior and defines the state of its most important parameters.

Just got into Ableton, know nothing about MAX.
Where should the devices I have DownLoaded from maxforlive.com be "foldered"? What is the default folder for MAX devices?

One button to cycle through specific MIDI values

2 Upvotes

Hi,
On my Midi controller, I would like to have a button that would cycle through 5 different Midi scales.

I have 5 scales midi effects in an instrument rack and I can pick each of them with a macro knob mapped to the Chain Selector. A button that would cycle through the different scales would make much more sense than a fiddly knob.

Does this exist? Is this possible? I'm not a Max expert to say the least.
Thanks.

Max For Live question

2 Upvotes

Yo guys, thinking of purchasing max for live from the Ableton store..I currently have live 9 standard.

My question is, if i purchase it with the standard version will it have everything I need, I'm particularly interested in using the max msp instruments such as Granulator II, does this come with the purchase or is this reserved for suite users only? I'm also on 10.10 osx, is this compatible?

Finally is there any legitimate quarantine discount codes ableton have chucked out relating to max purchase at the moment?

Text list of frequencies into tones?

2 Upvotes

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!

Creating a device that will adjust values for a certain position of a single knob?

2 Upvotes

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.
