Hard to say what’s best….there’s simply a lot of things that are far easier (and definitely faster) to do in Python than in M4L when it comes to direct controller scripting. But if I can get away with it, I do what I can in M4L because it’s a little easier to edit (no need to restart live with every change so that the script will recompile, and can actively debug some things a little easier during coding). In the end it’s just a matter of personal choice.

I switched over to Ableton’s v2 framework back when Push came out. Its constantly changing and evolving, and thus Ableton is constantly breaking my scripts. But only a portion of it’s functionality has been ported over to the original _Framework classes, so chances are good that it wouldn’t require that much work to update your script to work with the newer _Framework changes.

Its hard for me to say really….I haven’t used much from the _Framework files in a really long time. I know there were significant changes to the Session Component, and definitely some other additions, especially in regards to how control surfaces interact with m4l….but that wouldn’t affect most folks.

Here’s a repo with all changes between 10.0.0 and current 11 release:

Make sure to look at the Live11 branch.
