Is the any tool (in Max ?) for Ableton like MIDI mixer in Cubase? I could control my Roland D20 with System Exclusive messages sent from such a mixer in Cubase on Atari and then in Cubase SX3. I could control filters or envelopes, or any parameter in my instrument via automation in the mixer map. It was a brilliant way. I got Roland D110 recently and I would like to recreate my ancient projects.
Ableton doesn’t seem to have such features to control external instruments. And handling the System Exclusive seems to be an impossible dream.
