general suggestions

for converting Max help files to Max for Live devices:

• Replace UI objects with Live versions. For example, toggle becomes live.toggle
• Replace audio inputs/outputs with plugin~/plugout~
• Select UI objects for presentation mode
• In patch inspector, set the patch to open in presentation mode
• In UI object inspectors, change default Scripting names to allow automation. “Long Name” is the name used by Live for automation
