live.routing
Description
Route MIDI and Audio data in Ableton Live using available inputs and outputs. live.routing only supports one midi or audio port at a time per Max for Live device. So, if you use two live.routing objects in one Max for Live device, they will both point to the same port. This is because the Live API currently supports only one port at a time per Max for Live device.
To route audio data through a Max for Live device, you will need to use the plugin~ and plugout~ objects to recieve audio data from Live in Max. Similarly, to route midi data through a Max for Live device, you will need to use the midiin and midiout objects to recieve midi data from Live in Max. You can then build your routing patch in Max using the live.routing object. To learn more about Ableton Live's I/O, look up the Device I/O Object Class in the Live Object Model.
