even the title is beautiful ; because I’m convinced too : data is beautiful !
LOM (Live Object Model) is “What objects you find behind the Live API and what their structure, properties and functions are.” as it is written in the manual.
This page is complex for the newbie, but it is a key to open the official API door in Ableton Live!
There were days when we hacked things through python scripts.
Now it is official, reliable, powerful.
Don’t hesitate to test max for live using the LOM !
Another nice trick is the understanding of JS in max for live through 2 links:
- LiveAPI overview
- the LiveAPI Object
I didn’t know that learning javascript could help me in the future to program music.
I’m very sorry to not answer clearly, longly, as well as it should, to people asking a lot about the protodeck.
My time is rare.
In the (closest!) future, I’ll do my best to have time for you ! I promise!
So learn a bit, ask me using gtalk to catch me, and for the moment I’ll give you short but precisest answers!
cheers!
cSound is very amazing.
“Csound is a sound design, music synthesis and signal processing system, providing facilities for composition and performance over a wide range of platforms. It is not restricted to any style of music, having been used for many years in the creation of classical, pop, techno, ambient, experimental, and (of course) computer music, as well as music for film and television.”
Csound is free software released under the GNU Lesser General Public License.
Documentation seems to be a little bit messy but, at least, it is provided 
A nice option would be to directly embed these codes inside a kind of focused & specific device. Not a PC or a MAC, a real software modulable synthesizer…
A friend of mine work on some modular stuff.
Not with this lib, but .. sshhh .. it is a secret 
A nice initiative by google is App Inventor.
You should go there : http://appinventor.googlelabs.com/about/
It would provide a nice GUI WYSIWYG and even if you are not a coder, you could create easily your own application and update it on you Android phone.
I applied to test it as it still is a beta.
I already coded things directly in Java and even if I could like it, I’d prefer to not waste my time with that especially to focus on features, on core functionnalities of my apps instead of the pure interface coding.
I’ll post here as soon as I would have test that
