Device Overview
| Name/Version: | Tetra Master Controller 1.01 |  |
| Author: | atari5200 | |
| Description: | This is device built to control a DSI Tetra synth. It gives you access to almost all of the available parameters of the Tetra. It is heavily based off of a few other existing Tetra controllers, so thank you to those whom I borrowed code from. It is my first Max device and was built in several parts, so as a result the patching is incredibly messy. I may clean it up in the future and I welcome any improvements that others may bring to the device. I have also posted a rather crude Tetra sequencer controller here as well http://www.maxforlive.com/library/device/1361/tetra-sequencer-controller-0-9 9/15/13 Update- I fixed the LFO 4 sync bug and added a couple other new controls. In a future version I would like to be able to implement bi-directional mapping so that upon loading a patch, the controller will reflect the proper values for each parameter, but I'm not sure how to do this at the moment |

| Thanks MonoAmine- As far as using it in Multi mode, I have no idea if it will work, I don't think so, but I think you would be able to modify it work properly. But I'm not sure, it may work fine as is, I'll see if I can tets it out and report back. It is not currently possible to save patches using the controller. It does have a bank/patch selector so you can load patches using the panel but the knobs/controls do not update to show the parameter values for each patch. I think there is a way to implement this function but I'm too much of a n00b to Max so I couldn't really figure it out! |
| great stuff atari5200, thanks for the time in putting this one together, much appreciated! ;] |
| "Can you tell me if it works in multi mode too? (for example by loading 4 seperate instances on 4 midichannels?)" so far it works flawlessly here!:) tks for the device atari! |
| Yes ive been able to use it too, thanks alot Atari! Only thing i can think of to make abosolety the best controller at the moment is a 'send patch or send all parameters' to tetra button' with this we would be able to save patches in the songfiles of Ableton |
| can you check if the key sync of lfo 4 is correct? it modifies ENV3 ATTACK on mine ( new os here, still beta but it will be the next one, I don't know if it changed.) Also, as you can see here http://dsiforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=2154 there are other new parameters that could be easily implemented. if you tell me how to modify it i could gladly add them by myself. However THANKS THANKS THANKS for this patch. It WORKS and it's damn good. THANKS again. enrico |
| I've figured out how to do it. you simply set the wrong command (61 was the parameter number, not the nrpn. the right couple is A-56, B-256). I've also added a command for wave reset (only beta os) and clock multiplier menu (standard one) it's just a matter of space... Please try to include the send button!! It'd be great! Enrico |
| This is great!!! But is there anyway to make it more push friendly? Meaning when I'm in device mode on push, the banks of 8 knobs aren't in order of the controller. They seem to be mixed up! It would e great to know how to organize this so it would be: Bank 1- osc Bank 2- filter Bank 3- vca And so on..... Any updates intended???? |
| Ok.... I have re assigned all parameters to e on a logical order when used with PUSH. Where do I upload this???? |
| I just uploaded a new version that fixes the LFO 4 sync bug that was reported above. I also added the wave reset for each osc and a menu for the arp clock divider. @adh82- how do you rearrange the mappings so they are more Push friendly? I know how to do it will normal racks and devices but I can't figure out how to do it with Max For Live devices. Clue me in and I'll edit the device. Likewise if anyone wants to show me how to get bi-directional mapping I'd appreciate it. I'd really like to be able to have the controller show the proper values upon loading a new patch. |
| interesting, will try it when I get a chance. will it save within the live set so the tetra patch is recalled the next time you load the session ? |
| Hi Atari, Is there any news about a possible update? It will be appreciated Greetings |
| Only the bank buttons work in this for me, none of the knobs do anything. Is this good to go for Max 7 and Live 9.5? |
| > @adh82- how do you rearrange the mappings so they are more Push friendly? For anyone looking how to do this, you need to add a "live.banks" object to the Max patch. Within it you can set up the banks of parameters accessible via Push. Happy wiggling. |
| I've uploaded a copy of this device that adds Push and Push 2 support. Enjoy! And thank you @atari5200 for the awesome work. :) https://maxforlive.com/library/device.php?id=8164 |

Can you tell me if it works in multi mode too? (for example by loading 4 seperate instances on 4 midichannels?)
I am also wondering if its possible to save/load patches from the tetra?
you made my day
