| Looks awesome! Would it be possible to turn the 1-8 triggers into a sequencer of some sort. Playing it MLR monome-style |
| @ Fippe. This is possible. You can trigger the pads using midi from a midi track or real time input (i.e. not midi map). Actually that requires a separate Midi-In device, I will upload shortly. |
| I dig this thing. Looking forward to being able to sequence it from a midi channel. Any chance of being able to tweek the grain size on the stretch function? |

| @johnisfaster , Fippe now I have uploaded the MIDI IN midi device. This means you can use a midi clip or another sequencer to trigger the pads. Enjoy: http://www.maxforlive.com/library/device/1845/beatchoplive-midi-in-module |
| This is the most useful patch I've found here, extremely creative. Congratulations! One thing I would love to have is momentary switch also for the repeat mode so I could have a sample repeating as long as I hold down the pad instead of continuously. Does it make any sense? |
| @obliquo thanks for the feedback! Momentary repeat is not possible with an audio device because you are very limited the midi you can pass to the device via midi-map . BUT - it is a great idea, so let me have a think about a possible workaround. + New Version coming soon - please me know any suggestions + |
| You, my friend, are a GENIUS! Fantastic devises. Pure creativity boost right here! Thank you so much for sharing your time and labour for free!!! God bless. |
| Cool device! I want to use this when i'm dj-ing. At the moment i'm using this in Live 8. I'm having trouble that the pads are never quantized when i play them from a controller. I thought the input triggers are quantized, or am i wrong? |
| Hello ! Awesome device, thanks a lot for the hard work ! One thing though : is it me, or is the audio input / output mono ? I can't seem to find a way to get stereo from Beat Chopper when feeding it stereo signals. Thanks ! |
| Thanks for the feedback everyone. New version coming soon, Boombleep - new version will be stereo Zeep - the pads aren't quantised, thougb you can use repeat mode for a regular rhythm (machine gun style builds etc) |
| Update still coming, feel free to shout here or on youtube for updates ;-) (youtube link in above description) |
Hi and thx for the device, sharp. I follow the instructions that you put in the "help" section of the device, but when i touch de pads, no sound. I use Live 9.1.7 64 bit. I load the device in a audio track, play a clip... "rec" in the device and after a seconds, "play". Then i touch the pads, but it seems that nothing has been recorded. Thank you for what you can tell me. |
| Thanks for the comment. Do you know what version of max fpr live you jave installed? Are you using PC or Mac? I think there is a problem with the granulator/timestretch code on 64bit. I will probably make a basic version without timestretch (you will still be able to slow down the sample but the pitch will change - like a turntable) |
Hi and thk for fast answer. My max for live versi?n is 6.1. I'm using PC, Windows 7 64 bit. Too bad you have to limit in functions, but if that is the solution... I and other people can use the device. Whatever it is, thanks for the effort. |
| Hi obliguo, it is basically ready. I was just testing some bugs and streamlining the user interface, but I might just get an update here and just get feedback from people directly. |
| Hi anyone reading this. New update is actually still ready, feel free to contact me at: j sharp seven-the-number at gmail com |
| Just want to thank you for all the comments in the patch. Really instructive, and all patches should be as documented as this. It turns it to a really pedagogical device. |

| Hi There! Just downloaded this device. Running M1 Apple macbook Pro (Monterey) with ABleton 11 .... Doesnt seem to work. Not compatible! Could you grace us with a compatible version? |
| @pitbull - hi, thanks for the download and comment. I haven't opened the patch in about 5 years. Due to other work and commitments I won't be able to make an update. MaxForLive and Live gets updates and that occasionally breaks things with old patches unfortunately (I don't have a mac to test on either). I imagine someone else has made a better version of this somewhere. The UX wasn't very simple making performance work with this a little difficult. |
| New version available here Works on new Macs. Removed Grainstretch~ external. Polyphonic and in Stereo. https://maxforlive.com/library/device.php?id=8934 |
