472 Max for Live
The Path to the Max Installation.
Once authorization is complete and Live has found the Max application, Max for Live should be
ready for use. At this point, the Max content will begin to install into your Live Library.
25.2 Using Max for Live Devices
Max for Live comes with a collection of instruments and effects which are ready for use. Max for
Live devices appear in the Max Instrument, Max MIDI Effect and Max Audio Effect folders in the
Max for Live label in the browser.
Many of these devices also come with their own presets, which are similar to Live’s device pre-
sets (page 222) but with one important difference: because a Max device can be stored out-
side of Live’s Library, it is important to make sure that any presets that refer to this device remain
associated with it.
If you save a preset for a Max device that is outside of the Library, Live will try to maintain the
necessary file references by copying the Max device into the Library and saving the preset
based on this copy. If the referenced Max file is then moved or renamed, however, these file
associations may be broken. If this happens, you can use Live’s File Manager (page 62) to fix
the problem.
To avoid these issues, we recommend always storing Max devices and their presets in the same
folder. Live’s Library is the preferred location.
