Would love to see this, as someone who has been heavily using Live since 2006 and is finally getting into proper coding in middle-age. Having a way to augment Live in a text-based coding format would be greatly welcome.
While I'm not holding my breath, Ableton the company are transitioning into a steward-ownership model in which the stewards will have decision rights over the company. So I have hope that it will continue to grow in ways that are less affected by market considerations and that are a little more opinionated and specialized. Not to mention that Ableton own Cycling 74 (creators of Max/MSP).
So it's not out of the realm of possibility.
- dr-smooth 10mo agoyou can use Javascript with Max. It's a bit unwielding in its handling of multi-JS-file projects, but it can be done. Not everything in Max is exposed to your code, but you really can do a lot from the JS side of things.
- Slow_Hand 10mo agoI had no idea! And I'm learning Javascript, so that's a nice coincidence. I was deep into Max/MSP around 2010 and made a personal vow to leave it alone. The potential to reinvent the wheel and build tools instead of completing records was too much. Now I'm in a more mature place, so I could see myself diving back into it eventually.
