I'm putting together a basic Max4Live template to allow me to trigger certain aspects of EigenD via my monome, plus start the Ableton looper, set the record on the relevant Live track, etc.
To show and allow selection of scales, I want to create a row of keys on the monome that show the current scale and allow me to swap from one to another by pressing the appropriate button, which will then light up to show the currently selected one. I can do the scale changes using a talker triggered by a MIDI note, but I ideally need to do the opposite to light the key. For example, if I press the button for the 3rd scale then it sets the 3rd scale in EigenD and lights the button.
To allow the lights on the monome to stay in step even if I change things directly from the instrument, is there a way to trigger a midi note that gets output when a scale or instrument is selected? Essentially it's the MIDI triggered talker in reverse.
Thanks in advance.
Mark.
