Learn how to build your own Max For Live devices in this beginner's workshop, recorded at the Ableton User Group, Cape Town.
CORRECTIONS ⚠️
I mention that the first version of Ableton Live was built in Max. While the initial idea for Ableton Live was prototyped in Max, the first official version was built in C++
At numerous points I mentioned that you can write C++ code inside of Max using Gen. This is incorrect - Gen uses its own language called GenExpr which is similar to C. You can, however, build things called Externals using C++. This is all much more advanced though!
