Leverages the recently added Node.js object in Max For Live to update a previous npm package - "max4node" https://www.npmjs.com/package/max4node - using socket.io instead of the Max UDP object to communicate with an external server. Includes an extensive Javascript driver for the Live API.
-
npm install
-
Place LOMcontroller.amxd into Live Session (any track will work)
-
Press 'script start' button in the Max device. This will spin up the socket.io server locally on port 8080.
-
Expose the API to your Node process:
const LOM = require("./LOM.js")
LOM.connect() Spin up the sample server in your CLI:
nodeLOM$ node sampleServer.js
This will start the server and open a link to the app in your browser. The external Node process should read:
"Serving {your_localhost_netmask}:5000
Node in Max says:
Connected to Live on port 8080
via socket.io with socket id: vaztsCubDNo12O1lAAAk"The Max Device should readout something similar.
