    Hello

    I recently bought a Livid CNTRL:R :)
    And i followed all instructions on https://github.com/aumhaa/m4m8 (thanks for all that Man :) )

    The Scripts works i select the livid CNTRL:R in midi devices prefernces of Ableton
    But my issue is on M4L DEVICES
    I have 3 devices MAX4LIVE
    -ACCENT
    -DRUMSTEPPR
    -SYNTHSTEPPR

    devices load and work but none connects with The CNTRL:R (no function or buttons is assign with device)

    Here my settings and files placement

    FILES in “m4m8-masterLivid Python Scripts Live11” to

    Are the devices working standalone? I haven’t looked at them with Live 11.1.5, maybe something got broken….I’ll dig up my CNTRLR tomorrow and have a look, but I think it’s working…..if not, probably something minor that needs fixed.

    I just tested all 3 out with Live 11.2.7, everything is working as it should. I might recommend updating to the most current versions of Live and Max, unfortunately the scripts aren’t backward compatible. I don’t think I’ve made any changes for a while, though, so I’m not sure why it wouldn’t be working for you. If you can give me more details about what’s going on (maybe you could look in your Max window for errors) maybe I can help out further?

    You have to press the 3rd top encoder to engage modMode, and have the device selected in Live.

    ok
    so on each device we have 2 part one part to command with rotary encoder (in red) and second part to command Step Sequence (in yellow)

    when press the 3rd top encoder to engage modMode (thanks for this Detail haha) The led under this rotary encoder Blink
    but this function don’t affect the part in RED on device
    i can set this function with rotary encoder but nothing change on Sound or sample

    And on Accent device i have always NO DEVICE on top of 4×4 grid

    On drumsteppr and SynthSteppr when i click on step or note it work so this two device work in StandAlone mode

    For MAX4LIVE I haven no error and i can open device in max4live with no problem

    Conclusion i have no control and command on Sound with Controller with this M4L Device

    I suspect that either Max isn’t finding the repository or you have an outdated version of Max. Can you show me your Max window? If you right-click on the corner of one of the m4l device windows, you can choose it from the drop-down menu. Show me a picture of that, it will probably tell us what’s really going on ;)

    It appears that you have some duplicate files in your max path, you can see the messages in yellow. But I don’t recognize anything that would break things in the way that they are broken for you now.

    The next thing to try is to show/send me a copy of your log.txt file that python generates. You can find it around here, I think (sorry, don’t use windows much): Windows 7 C:Users”your user name”AppDataRoamingAbletonLive 11.x.xPreferenceslog.txt

    Also, can you try some other devices from m4m8, like boingg or polygome? I’m curious if it is everything that is broken (i.e. the connection with the controller) or just the mods that I made for Livid….

    Ohhh lol. I thought the script was working for you. You have the wrong file structure in your Remote Scripts folder. You have to take the CONTENTS of the Livid Scripts Live 11 and Livid Scripts and put them in your remote scripts folder, it should look something like this:!

    [](https://aumhaa.com/forum/uploads/editor/gj/vmoohzipi4wm.png “”)

    You need to COPY all of the FOLDERS from Livid Python Scripts Live 11 and Python Scripts Live 11 and place them in the Remote Scripts folder. Then I think everything will work for you :) Right now, the logtxt says that you are missing the aumhaa subfolder from the Remote Scripts folder.

    Let me know how it goes :)

    The script is ok because i selected livid CNTRL:R v2 in device Midi settings in Ableton
    ![](https://aumhaa.com/forum/uploads/editor/fy/c6zr5eida9gm.png “”)

    i can play record,Select Note,play and record a clip with stesequencer,fader to volume ,encoder for select instrument and effect …..

    but no MAX4LIVE device communicate with The Contoller (i tried also Polygome)
    except rotary encoder on ACCENT DRUMSTEPPR SYNTHSTEPPR but which have no influence on the Loaded instrument

    And in log.txt nothing on MAX4LIVE

    Idk….maybe try reinstalling the Python scripts, and make sure there are no extra files in there. You should only have the folders included from the two folders: Python Scripts Live 11 and Livid Python Scripts. The line “2023-01-31T17:48:15.870274: info: RemoteScriptError: No module named ‘aumhaa'” in your log.txt tells me that Live cannot find one of the modules it needs.

    It’s probably best if you send me your entire log.txt file, there could be other information that could help me figure out your situation.

    Did you try updating Live to the most current version?
