Device Details

There is little problem :( Ableton 9.6.2, Max 7.2.4. Is it normal that when I change tracks (Push2) appears strange glitch? It hangs out for a moment. Look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFWN71DuZg4

@erykszolc - are you intentionally switching tracks that fast or when you switch tracks it actually glitches like that back and forth?

If it's the former, I would say a simple solution would be to not try and switch tracks back and forth so quickly. Not sure why you would want to do that anyway.

Other than that, is everything working?

Thanks for the good work! Dope device for melodic progression when you don't have enough playing skill.
On feature I would really like is the ability to restart midi clip on new note input (maybe by checking a little box on the receiver device, so per track)
Would it be feasible?!

Hi TheShotgunSymphony, and thank you for the compliment.

I'll have to take another look at the M4L API, but off the top of my head I think it might be possible to retrigger the playing clip upon receipt of a note from the sender.

What might even be cooler (and would encompass the requested functionality) would be to select from among a number of clips in the track based upon the note pitch. So, for example, say there were five clips in the track. Sending a note with a pitch equal to the root pitch would cause the first clip to be selected, sending a note one semitone above the root pitch would cause the second clip to be selected, and so on. (Sending a note with a pitch that mapped outside the range of playable clips wouldn't do anything.)

Even if such things are possible -and that's a big if-, the playing of clips would probably still be regulated by Live's triggering quantization setting- in other words, whether the clip started playing right away, or at the beginning of the next measure, etc., would be dictated by the control setting.

Thanks for a great idea; now I must research to find out if it's feasible. Or someone else out there, if they're so inclined; the copyright attribute is "By:", which means anyone is free to take it as the starting point for their own creations, as long as they give me credit for the original version. It might take me some time, as I've turned my attention from M4L programming to other things, so I'll have to get back into it.

Hi TLC,
you have made great device, but I am also having problem when switching channels, the same problem as @erykszolc.
In fact, even when I am scrolling anything in ableton, there is audio drop.

i didn't see any way to get in touch with you... would it be possible to for revoke make a similar device for sending cc data from track to track... or while midi day for that matter..i tend to use things like breath controllers and such and the scales device sex but i can't send it to tracks that are set at the device levelnot using "all ins" for example... if love to create one "breath control in" track and then use the same setup as the sender / receiver to send that data to all my other tracks.

Thank you so very much. I was building such devices myself but then found your solution which is much better.

I was looking for EXACTLY this device since a very long time. Thank You so much for creating this & sharing it. It does exactly what it needs to do, perfectly

Cool, thanks!
