max for live

UK election results tracked in Ableton Live with #maxforlive (latest: video)

A feed of the UK Election results injected into Ableton Live from The Guardian's Open Platform API, Max for Live and Jython.

It is perhaps a sign of the times that I learned of two key Liberal Democrat defeats - Lembit Opik (Montgomeryshire) and Susan Kramer (ousted by Zac Goldsmith in Richmond Park) - directly in Ableton Live's Session View.

I await the chance to cast my next vote directly from my Novation Launchpad or my monome.

Some "Live for Max" clip action in Live's Arrangement using the new LiveEmbedded API

The API is still a bit untidy, and moving clips around in the Arrangement is a bit fiddly (resizing even moreso), so there's quite a bit of detail hidden in that subpatcher, but it seems to work pretty reliably. I'll upload the patcher code when I get a chance.

What #maxforlive brings to Live 8: the Gerry Anderson version

International distress signal: Ableton Live 8 needs an extensible multimedia toolkit. This calls for Pod 5.
