| About synnack: | Hi, I created maxforlive.com. I host it and act as the community moderator. .. Read about me on ableton.com here: https://www.ableton.com/en/blog/audio-reactive-visuals-interview-synnack-0xf8/ or here https://www.ableton.com/en/blog/clint-sand/ About my work: synnack is the artistic moniker of Clint Michael Sand. Defying an easy description, synnack is perhaps best described as experimental electronic music fused with new media performance mediums. Blurring the lines between art installations, music concerts, and audio releases, synnack combines dark ambient/IDM/Glitch-styled sound generation using custom software environments, with analog modular synthesis to manipulate audio and video into sensory experiences ranging from visceral to cerebral. On stage, synnack leverages live sequencing, dynamic video processing, and dub-inspired mixing techniques such that no two synnack performances are the same. In addition to his own work, synnack collaborates with Jennifer McClain on video based performances and art installations. |

| @NeonBreath The ability to edit comments is a disaster. Especially for archival and searching for future users. Imagine this: User1: "you suck I hate you". User2: "you suck and i hope you go away" User1 edits comment to "i love you" Now, forever the thread makes no sense and makes user2 look like a bad person when it was user1 to blame. Editing comments would create many problems in a place where there is no moderation. I'd rather have little moderation but no editing of comments. |

| Can't you do this already with Live's "record quantization" feature? From manual: 16.5 Recording Quantized MIDI Notes - If you will be recording MIDI, you have the option of automatically quantizing MIDI notes while recording. The Record Quantization chooser in the Edit menu allows selecting the meter subdivisions with which your recorded notes will align. |

| @greaterthanzero I'm not sure the issue you describe applies anymore with Max 6.1. Now all devices get frozen as "projects" with unique folder structures and relative paths. I don't believe the matrix.png issue would exist. |

| Your device is really nice. I bought it last night and love it. My only feedback is that the coloring is not ideal. It does not work well with the new "Dusk" skin in 9.0.4 (which is very popular now) or any dark skin for that matter. The number boxes are unreadable. For reference. From: http://downloads.ableton.com/misc/maxforlive_production_guidelines.pdf Device user interface needs to be readable in different Live skins. Many Live users utilize different Live skins to adopt to different surroundings like stage lighting or studio. Please make sure that your device works with darker and brighter Live skins. How to check: Load device, open the Look/Feel tab in Live’ Preferences, and select different Live skins from the pull-down menu. Note: Device colors can be adjusted to the current Live skin colors via [live.colors]. |

| You should freeze your device. That way the image and javascript file are included in the .amxd. There is no need to have a user put things in directories with the Freeze feature. Read more here: http://cycling74.com/docs/max5/vignettes/core/live_freezing.html |

| I recommend that you start with some youtube videos. There are many out there that show you the basics of Max and Jitter. If by watching the videos you think it's something you want to still get into, I can recommend other resources too. But there's so much already on youtube I'd start there. For example: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLasl9I6VeCCqILUcjNv_TQmdPatD01jPb |

| @franky https://dl.dropbox.com/u/18262281/Franky.amxd.zip that should give you the basic idea. That version lets you mess with the background and foreground colors. |

| @pats no but you can edit the max patch and add in a video recorder. The simple solution is to just use screen capture software. Even default quicktime does this on OS X. Or you could use Syphon to get it into some other VJ app. Many options. |

| No. I think i added the references and hide references in 2010. At that time the Terms page was updated to say: "Users who post "references" in the library (device entries without the .amxd file itself) must include a link where users can buy, or download the referenced device. Links must go directly to pages where a user can download, or purchase your device within 2 clicks." note "buy" and "purchase". It still remains true that all devices you can download from maxforlive.com are free. |

| This site only hosts free devices. However this entry is not a device hosted here. It is a reference to a device elsewhere. Some of us want a single place for all available devices but a way to easily filter non free from your view. All you need to do to hide these from your view is choose "hide references" on the main Library page. I fully support vendors offering paid devices to post them here but only as a reference. Just hide them from your view with a single click. |
