Hi i am very new to max, was just wndering how i could get the alternative grid you made to send midi notes which could be mapped in live as this would be amazing.
Sure... The easy way is to multiply and mod the x, y output of Button_matrix observer by 8. and add the two values together. This will convert each button to a midi note. Then, you can scale it by a preset range, like 12 up or down in order to change the octave. Then look into midiselect and or borax and noteout to create a note.
