Ableton Live Devices (old)

Madmapper Cue Player for Ableton Live (Max 4 Live)

This Max-for-live device lets you trigger Madmapper cues from Ableton Live, with a customizable cue bank name.

To use: drag this device into an Ableton Live MIDI track.

You can have multiple instances of this device in the same project, to control different cue banks from different Ableton tracks / lanes simultaneously.

Set the IP address of the computer where Madmapper is running. When running Madmapper in the same computer as Ableton Live, use 127.0.0.1 (localhost). Ensure that Madmapper is listening on the same port specified in this device.

The “Bank” field should match the name of a Cue Bank in your Madmapper project.

*Any* change to the column number or row number will trigger this OSC message:

/cues/<BANK>/cues/by_cell/col_<COL>/row_<ROW>

For manual control, simply click on the column or row fields and drag your mouse up or down.

You can automate the COLUMN and ROW coordinates in Arrangement View by right-clicking on the fields and selecting “Show Automation” or “Show Automation In New Lane”.

You can also program the coordinates inside an ABL MIDI clip through the midi clip envelope area.

Known issues:
* OSC messages occasionally get stuck until both COLUMN and ROW have been changed *at least once*. If you’re automating these, just ensure that you’re initializing both of these fields, and you shouldn’t have issues.

This Max-for-live device lets you send integer OSC signals to another program, with a ranges of either 0-1000 or 0-255.  The 0-255 variant is useful for driving DMX values in another program (such as Madmapper) without converting the values.

Set the IP address of the computer where the receiving program is running. When the receiver is running on the same host as Ableton Live, use 127.0.0.1 (localhost).

The slider bank includes 8 sliders: A-H. Each slider has a customizable OSC path.

OSC signals are sent every time a slider moves, and the destination path will be set to whatever is contained in the path field *at that time*.

For manual control, simply drag the sliders.

You can automate the sliders s in Arrangement View by right-clicking on the sliders and selecting “Show Automation” or “Show Automation In New Lane”.

You can also program the sliders inside an ABL MIDI clip through the midi clip envelope area.
