oops I hit the "new topic" button instead of the reply.
some timelines here, hope they'll be helpful. they're not the clearest of layouts as this was still a testing phase.
The first two screen shots were simply tryouts to test the live modul8 reactivity. the "bank" track are note clip triggers which send out a midi note thus triggering the media assigned in parallel in M8. As you can see this one moves fast, first one media is triggered, followed by some alpha ( volume curve changes), then it triggers many media / visual changes.this was done to test for latency. when you the clips go up the "scale", it triggers the assigned m8 media in the layers, at the desired speed, which can be quite fast.
Of course if one was to reproduce the timeline example given in the initial post of this thread, things would be much more simple.
the "midi" track's drawn curve works on the m8 controls, in this case the ableton live volume to the layer's alpha.
In the first shot, there are some audio clips. they can be linked to the m8 changes or independent ( which requires more precision in the disposition of the triggers)

this last screen shot is of a setup which uses the now obsolete "midi feedback" hack, it is an improvisational setup in ableton's "scene mode" which clips are loaded into clip slots, each assigned to a modul8 layer ( 8 tracks, 8 layers). The track volue is also assigned to the 8 layer's alpha fader.
this was controlled by a BCF2000, vertically scrolling up and down in the scenes, and also included an independent fixed timeline audio + visual triggering in the background.

in all of these setups the midi is routed internally via the IAC3 driver
