@wurlt01 : Thx for your effort.Problem is your maxpatch crashes Ableton.Not usable for me.
@Macciza : Velocity/x and offset/x do nothing when handled by Lemur.
Thx guys anyway.

Hi
Sorry about that - note to self : Always test before posting . .

Heres a version that works though needs more work depending on requirements.

This adds two number boxes for Velocity and NoteLength and implements bi-directional control

It expects Raw data for the parameters- /Offset/x 0 - 11, /Velocity/x 0 - 127 , and /NoteLength/x is 10 - 250 (arbitrary limit)

Note there is no mechanism to sequence these parameters in this patch - the object used for note sequence does not lend itself easily to doing so . . .

Sorry about the first post - this worked for me.

Cheers
MM
PS Forgot the patch

Hi
Just thought I would add that the UI elements in the M4L patch are really just for 'debugging' purposes
There should be no need to actually use them, thats what we have Lemur for after all . . .
I am undecide as to whether they should even be there - if they aere they should be bi-directional

Also, @W as I mentioned earlier I think it is better to talk explicit values wherever possible.
This makes the OSC exchange more 'natural' - you send what you mean ie 127 not 1 as you are doing.
Get Lemur to send the range of values you want rather than having Max interpret the normalised 0-1 value.
If the data suits the 0/1 or 0-1 range than certainly use it as in the case of logic operations and percentages.

Cheers
MM

Hi
Make sure you have network connection - no firewall blocking port 8000
In M4L Lemur setup hit rescan or enter your iPads address and leave it at 8000
In Lemur set OSC your computer ip and port 8000.
Otherwise settings as I mentioned, hit play in Live, select Drum number on left, program beats from Pads . . .
Sorry - No problems on a Mac

Hello Macciza, thx for that very good explanation.
I did it this way all the time but it doesn't work on my machine :cry:
then I deleted the mfl file and template redownloaded, installed and (don't ask me why) it works as it should :lol:
I'm having this problem with Win7 X64...I can send the template to my ipad via lemur editor but not with m4l device. Also, I can manually set up and get a 1-way connection but playing with the steps doesn't send anything to Ableton.

I tried redownloading the template even, still doesn't work. Anybody fix this issue yet?

Same issue for me, win7 x64. I can connect fine to Lemur using the editor and even use it from ableton as a midi controller but M4L plugin won't detect the device even when I input the correct ip. I tried uninstalling M4L and re-download the installer and ambivalent beats but still the same. Firewall is disabled and the editor is working fine so it has to be something M4L side.

I bought an ipad and lemur for this and cannot even use it :evil:

I'm loving this, great but of kit. I'm looking for two small tweaks though, the addition of the offset slider to scroll through samples. Plus, once I have notes playing the sample selector on the left should change colour, as it can be confusing trying to remember. Not bothered about velocity or anything like that, anyone able to help?

Ps I am hopeless with M4L and Lemur scripting. :)

So here is the colored spots on the sample selector.
Use last Macciza's maxpat that has been posted here. However I am still having problems in Live. I have to load at first the default maxpat in M4L and then load Macciza's version or else Ableton will crash.
