«Basic Ableton Push control with Modality» by LFSaw

on 29 Jan'17 20:07 in modalitycookbookableton push

Example on how to interface SuperCollider with Ableton Push via Modality toolkit. (I only have the first version here, send me a second version and I'll make it compatible with that ;) )

// standard method
