Device Details


Overview

Name | Version: Trance Gate 1.2.1
Author: TiagoLeonor
Device Type: Audio Effect
Description: This Device is a simplified trance gate that can work between 2 steps and 64 steps. It can be fixed to the grid or run freely. Have fun with it and leave some feedback for future improvements

1.1 update:

Added individual attack and release controls, replacing the smooth control

Added displays for the pulse width, attack and release times

Added an output dial for level adjustment

The sliders stay as saved after the project is closed and opened again

Ui improvements

1.2 update:

Fully synched with Ableton when in sync mode. It's also aware of which step should be synched to, so results are consistant even working with the arrangement view in this mode

Retrigger possible when in free mode (non synched). Retriggering resets the sequence to the first step

Ui improvements, such as highlighting which step of the sequence is being triggered

1.2.1 update:

Bug fixes: Unable to undo fixed
UI changes

Cool device. I've never seen sliders in Max device midi mappable, is that possible?
Meant in a "Gate effect"
Hi boink. Thank you for your feedback! It seems that the multislider device that i am using doesn't allow midi mapping in live. Using any other object wouldn't allow the ability to change the number of steps as i implemented. If i find a way, I'll update the device. I'm thinking of updating it to allow seperate attack and release controls.
Thanks
Hi TiagoLeonor

Awesome work, reminds me of Killoherts Trance Gate. 

It would be great to borrow a couple of their features

1. Step Animation
2. Resync the device on downbeat when turned off and back on. 

Thank you for all you do!
Hi YaroV

Thank you for your feedback and praises.

I took your feedback into consideration managed to implemented your suggestions

Have fun!
Wow, this turned out great, great job! It works beautifully as a single device.

While exploring ways to create a few pre-programmed pattern variations and switch between them, I noticed a strange behavior. When using two or more chains of the device (for pattern variations), if you change the number of steps on one chain and then switch to another, the animation and the pattern seem to drift off the grid. I’m not very familiar with the Max environment, so I’m not sure how complex this would be to address. That said, if preset saving is possible, this issue might not even need fixing. Having recallable pattern variations would be amazing in a live performance scenario.

Love your work.
Wish you all the best!
