I was certified by Ableton² in 2010 and I teach not onlyAbleton Live Suite³ but Max6 and Max for Live both to individuals and groups. I have releasedan eight and a half hour long training DVD aboutAbletonLive9&Push⁴ Push&Liveonthefield Max for Live was released in 2011, and I have had lots of requests to write a book since then. Here we are! It is starting now and I hope that you will be totally happy and satisfied after reading this guide. I want you to be able to design your own Audio & MIDI FX but also your own sound generatorsandcustominterfacesinsideAbletonLive! Inthefirstpartofthisguide,I’mgoingtoexplainMaxforLivebasics:whatMaxforLiveexactly is, what the differences with Max6, formerly named Max/MSP, are and also how it works with AbletonLiveitself. In the second part, we will look at something already known by some of you: the famous (but cryptic) Live Object Model, also named LOM within Max for Live’s Coding Mafia. It is the inner structureofLiveitself.Wecanreach,requestandmanipulateLive’sparametersthruitbyusingtwo ways: Max for Live itself, but also the (also famous)MIDI Remote Scripts. We will explore Live’s ApplicationProgrammingInterface(alsonamedLiveAPI)andhowtoprogramit. ¹Mywebsite:http://julienbayle.net ²ableton.com:https://www.ableton.com/en/education/certified-training/france/julien-bayle-marseille ³Mycourses:http://julienbayle.net/ableton-live/ ⁴MyDVDaboutAbletonLive9&Push:http://www.elephorm.com/audio-mao/formation-ableton-live/ableton-live-9.html#a_aid=julienbayle Introduction iii In the third part, I will talk about JavaScript as another way to reach and work with Live’s API.
