It seems that Ableton 8 does not directly support sysex via its MIDI, which is how I communicate with the Softstep in Max. They must've got around it, very cool. Hopefully 9 will support sysex directly.<br /><br />All the best,<br />JeffJeff Kaiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04101789221682608976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7634526.post-8543008346230332462013-02-25T01:41:38.858-08:002013-02-25T01:41:38.858-08:00Hi Jeff, thanks for getting back to me so soon! Ri...Hi Jeff, thanks for getting back to me so soon! Right now I'm using a dead simple pedal inside M4L. It's not a midi pedal, but a custom-transformed external numeric keyboard put into a stompbox, that let's me write the numbers 1-8 with 8 buttons and my feet. And these numbers control either Ableton Live and/or Max. I use midikeyboards without any problem though, so my connections seem to be running smoothly.<br /><br />In the meantime I'll check out this M4L plugin called SoftStep4Live that Jesse Engel created on a Javascript that Tom Ritchford wrote, based on your research if I got it right? A three-step-rocket. That I'll try to launch from my kitchen table in a few minutes :-)<br /><br />Greetings from Stockholm<br /><br />Jesse Engels device:<br />http://www.maxforlive.com/library/device/1156/softstep4live<br /><br />Tom Ritchfords javascript:<br />https://github.com/rec/swirly<br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06654379176481940066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7634526.post-16296059067990727482013-02-24T07:39:43.330-08:002013-02-24T07:39:43.330-08:00Hi Nils, I've never used it with M4L....I'...Hi Nils, I've never used it with M4L....I'll try to give it a shot when I'm in front of it later this week. I do know that there have been issues with different versions of the firmware for the Softstep and I haven't updated my Softstep patches in over a year...I need to do that. Also: do other midi controllers work as you would like within M4L?Jeff Kaiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04101789221682608976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7634526.post-76342403362511019932013-02-24T06:00:18.146-08:002013-02-24T06:00:18.146-08:00Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece of work!
...Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece of work! <br /><br />I'm trying to use it in the M4L environment but can't seem to get the Softstep to respond while inside M4L. It works if I keep a copy open in Max that sends to my M4L equivalent of the same document, but as soon as I shift the active app to Ableton Live from Max the connection is lost. <br /><br />I get a midi signal from the Softstep into Ableton, but I just can't get your patch to respond... Any input would be greatly appreciated, your work would be so nice to incorporate into my setup.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />/ NilsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06654379176481940066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7634526.post-58177737060683387592012-02-19T09:50:10.695-08:002012-02-19T09:50:10.695-08:00Hey Tom, thanks for your post!
