Hello Max for live users and device creators,

This post is regarding a request for a device to be built or instructions on how to go about creating a max for live device that is capable of capturing audio from sampler or and audio channel for chopping(slicing) purposes. I ask this because I came from a hardware sampler background MPC,ASR-X and the SP-1200. I have always been a manual chopper of audio even in ableton live, but as of lately its becoming a hinderance with my workflow using "Push" Ableton and max for live are great together but I always wonder why hasn't ableton implemented an Mpc type slicing function like by using the F4 button on the Mpc 2000xl to capture incoming audio and place it on an assigned pad...in this case to a pad in a drum rack it sounds simple to be done but I have no idea where to start in creating the max device to preform these tasks ( any advice will be much appreciated).

Oh...and the only Max devices thus far that comes close to preforming the task of the sample chopping function of the Mpc is "Bit Voltage - Quick Recorder" and Myr Sound File recorder which both allows you to chose a folder location to place grabbed/recorded audio.
