ReTweeting this into my blog via @mormo_music.
Cycling 74 is giving information about how you can “marry” Max/Msp and Ableton Live together. Basically Max is actual programming language on Max/Msp, that is why title is Max-for-Live. Quote:
What it can do
The Live API provides access to a Live set so that we can gather information about what is happening or change the behavior or state of the set. This means you could write a Max device that triggers clips, randomly generates parameters for other devices, and behaves differently depending on what else is going on in Live. The Live API also provides access to the same tools Ableton uses to create hardware control surface templates and interfaces, with the addition of all the features Max brings to the table. To give you a better idea of how this works, let’s look at the objects themselves and some really simple examples.
Sounds interesting and promising, I guess there is “few” Live and Max/Msp users drooling for this. Cycling 74 info also includes couple video examples, check it out. Fyi… if you don’t know yet what max/msp is, it is really time to find out, if you don’t know what Ableton Live is, then forget whole thing.
