Device Overview

Name/Version: LiveDeck 1.2.0
Author: NoraPatches  
Description: LiveDeck is a M4L audio effect and Live API utility tool that features a three-band EQ, a combo filter (LP/HP), a simple limiter and a looper section that always controls the currently playing warped audio clip on Track in Live’s Session View.

The intention when developing this plugin was to imitate a standard DJ mixer that features a three-band EQ with kill switches and a filter that is often controlled by a single dial – turning this dial counter-clockwise from the middle position applies a Low-Pass filter while turning this knob clockwise (from the middle position) applies a High-Pass filter.

Main features:
-Three-band EQ
-Combo (LP/HP) filter
-Live API looping function (for currently playing clip in Session View)
-Limiter

The user interface elements are all automation-enabled and MIDI mappable, however the main intention of the device is to be used live with mapping a MIDI controller to the GUI. Similar to other DJ software, LiveDeck enables the user to select between the built-in EQ presets to choose the LO, MID and HI band frequencies.

The device features a Combo Filter that is controlled by a single dial. The Combo Filter is inactive when the dial is in the middle position and/or has the value of zero. The Combo Filter is also subject to the “Filter” switch state (this is for easier MIDI mapping purposes).

The user can enable “Snap” to automatically retract the dial (in 10 ms) to the value of zero, effectively switching the filter off with a mouse/touchpad click release. Please note that this only works with a mouse or touchpad cursor and nothing else!

How to use:

Add the device to an Audio Track in Ableton Live’s and launch clips from the Session View to trigger the device to map itself to the currently playing clip. Audio clips need to be warped if you want to use the looper function.

really nice one! but i think you made a little mistake in the description:

".....always controls the currently playing warped audio clip on Track in Live?s Session View"

"-Live API looping function (for currently playing clip in Arrangement View)"

i guess the "Arrangement View" is the mistake, and it should instead say "Session View", correct?

sorry for double posting but i forgot: a demo video would be nice, just to confirm its what i hope it is before i purchase. thx

Hey there! I do apologise indeed that is a mistake, it is solely for SESSION VIEW indeed. You can see a video where I mess with the plugin, the link is in the description :)
Thanks for highlighting the error!

hey there, i just bought it and there always is a click when the 0% mark on the filter is passed.. is there a fix for this? otherwise its unusable, especially in a live situation.
greets

Hey @titaniclover69
Thank you for supporting my work. I haven?t yet noticed this behaviour, but I?ll open the device and see what could result in a click when passing 0% on the Combo Filter. In theory at 0% both the LP and HP filters should be true bypassed, so maybe it?s related to this.
I would like to ask for your patience until I can diagnose and fix this error or you can also ask for a refund at info@norapatches.com if time is of the essence. If you choose to get a refund please email me from the address you made the GumRoad purchase with, so I can identify you. :)

Best,
Nora
