Re: [PD] Max4Live... How about Pd4Live?
I think you can all forget pd4live. after all, it's a commercial company. When I asked Gerhard about it (a bit as a joke because I knew the answer), he replied something like BLAHGRGAHGAGGGRRG! which doesn't mean that a not-so-deep-but-similar integration can be made, using osc, jack, or whatever you can do (never worked with Live). or between pd and another program, and still get the same result. or program the live part in pd, and you'll have pd4pd. To Michal: i see your point on the openness, and thanks for that link. i doubt Ableton will release it's source code, at least until they figure out how to open Live, as Gerhard mentioned, and still have enough income for 100 employees. It'll be a good day when Live users will be able to customize it's GUI as necessary. As far as Pluggo goes, it has been discontinued but reappears in Max4Live :o, . To Hans: Jack is definitely a great tool but, like i said, i don't know how it handles midi, or how about OSC? i have to read more on the subject before i can have an actual opinion. To justin: Can ardour be customized as a performance tool (which is abletons key feature IMO) Thanks for your input, fellas.

Re: [PD] Max4Live... How about Pd4Live?
Ardour and Ableton are really targetted at different things. Ardour is a DAW for working in a recording studio, Ableton is a live performance tool.

Re: [PD] Max4Live... How about Pd4Live?
The thing that impressed me the most about Max4Live (haven't tried it, just seen some videos) is that you can receive parameter changes of Live's controls within Max and you can send parameter changes to just about everything from Max to Live. So, you can have one automation control another, or have resizing one sample trigger a different control, etc. Sequencers don't have to control midi in the Max patch, they can control anything you route it to. I tried doing this many different ways using Pd/Ardour, but I always found it too cumbersome and just recorded audio instead of automation. This is very limiting if you want to re-use automation recordings. It is of course possible with Pd/Ardour and Midi, just very cumbersome and bug-prone. I suppose having Pd directly in Live would only be slightly easier than directing Pd through Jack and into Live (by the way, where did the Jack-VST plug-in go?? I've been looking for this and it is not included in the jackosx package) and you wouldn't get all the interface controls that Ableton gave to Max. I do remember hearing about a Live/python SDK, so if you could make a patch that gave access to those controls, I can see it being just as powerful, but without all the nice GUI objects that Max has.

Yea, tried that, there went about 2 years using a buggy, ugly, awkward sequencer for doing standard rhythmic stuff, instead of just using a tried-and-true piece of software. I constantly had to stop thinking about music in order to fix my pd sequencer, or add some common feature. Live is really put together well, so many things that you take for granted until you actually try to implement something similar yourself. I'm not saying it does everything or even close, but it does the simple stuff really well and saves the end-user/programmer from having to worry about it.

Re: [PD] Max4Live... How about Pd4Live?
Yes in effect Composite looks like a good start I'd like to test it asap, but actually I don't find in the project the features (I do not consider GUI) which impressed Rich (and me) for some ideas that are not so clear until now: it needs some practice to make it clearer (in a explicit way, to few time to evaluate), Max4live is an intergation of 20 years of different cultures of computer music. If one consider what permits Max (or Pd), Max4Live is a system in a system, it's a new release of Max: Max X.

Re: [PD] Max4Live... How about Pd4Live?
The Ableton / max integration is pretty awesome, and it will not be possible to integrate pd into ableton without the ableton source code or some difficult (and illegal) reverse engineering. And as far as open goes, ardour is more open without any integration with any other app (except, as Hans-Christof mentions, pervasively using jack to share audio) than live would be with both max and pd integration.
