are you on live 10 @glia ? don’t think max version matters there

@glia ah right, i think @andrew is correct. you should just be able to download the most recent version of max 8, and then within live’s preferences you can choose to run an external max application instead of the one bundled in live 10. as long as you have live 10 suite or a max for live license, it shouldn’t matter if you have a standalone max 8 license or not.

could be wrong tho, i’ve had both live and max licenses for quite awhile now

ohh weird does this app not work with bundled m4l inside 10 ?

^ says there bundled == max 8 ?

#9

i think j was on live 9, which prompted the q.

fwiw, bundled max is a different build that doesn’t always stay in lockstep with the point updates. whenever folks experience weirdness with m4l, installing standalone max and pointing to it often helps because there might be bug fixes from cycling that Live hasn’t ingested yet. currently, Max 8.1.3 is bundled with Live 10.1.13, though :slight_smile:

thanks for the specifics about versioning, that’s good to know going forward as I get questions from people interested in the device

this is true! but building off of what dan said about live’s versions, a bit after @glia’s first post i got a dm from someone on my instagram who was using live 10 suite with a bundled version of max. however, they sent me a screenshot of the max console throwing a whole lot of errors along the lines of newobj - mc.unpack~: no such object for all the mc objects, even though i could tell in the screenshot it was max 8.

i recall when live 10 came out some months before the release of max 8, there was an intermediary version of 8 bundled in with live, but this was still (I’m assuming) before many of the additions in max 8 were finalized and released to the public, so that version didn’t have mc support

dunno - seems like bundled is workin for me, maybe that person just hadn’t updated ableton ?

but more importantly, this thing sounds great. downloaded just to test and like 3 minutes of running a file on my desktop thru three of these + prosody fx led to this:

( summoning @matthewdavid to check out this granular bliss device )

oop yeah, meant to include the fact that i figured they prob didn’t update ableton but alas

but hey yeah, sounds from this device are what matter most. glad you’re enjoying it and thanks very much for sharing a clip of some sounds.

my fav part of this device being out in the open is hearing the things people make ~~~

Playing around with the ~ live input ~ (starting at 8s) for a quasi-S&H filter effect.

hello! it’s been awhile. 1.1 update is now up in the top post!

1.1 update adds some fun things: wavetable-like morphing grain shapes, the ability to maintain constant pitch when changing the grain rate, and the ability to rotate your shift and warp settings to make it easier to lock into time with other sequences/loops/etc.

The 1.1 update seems to crash my Ableton 10.1.15 instance whenever I try to load it fyi

#16

shoot, sorry for the trouble. can you tell me a bit more info about the live sets you’re trying to use it with? are they new live sets (no clips or anything) or existing live sets you’ve been working on?

this was something i experienced a bit while working on the update, but thought i had resolved it :thinking:

Hi Jacob,

Nice update, just trying this with Push 2 for the first time, and it’s nice to see some parameters exposed to the Push knobs! I’ll have to explore more!

Thanks!

I tried replicating the bug I had earlier but it seems to be working now! If it happens again I’ll let you know! Thanks for the great device! Btw, whenever I open the sequencer window it opens in fullscreen (I usually use Ableton fullscreen, for reference) and I don’t have any way to close the sequencer window apart from restarting Ableton.

glad it’s working now! and thanks for the report on fullscreen behavior, that was not something i considered but should be something easily fixed

hey there, i dont use ableton - and i cant seem to get it working on Max 8. any chance you can upload or send me the Max device that isnt ported as an amxd?

#21

hey there, thanks for the interest. can you provide details on what isn’t working in standalone max? the clip loading logic is very much tied to the max for live api, so the only thing that would really work is the live input functionality.

are you opening the amxd file and working with it that way? or are you loading it into a patch with the amxd~ object?

i would love to make a standalone max version that allows arbitrary selection of audio clips, but i’m deep in an iOS dev project right now so it’s not something i’m able to do anytime soon.
