Device Overview
| Name/Version: | color colorer - color regions instantly 1.0 |  |
| Author: | Jwalrus | |
| Description: | T: Damn I wish I could color regions instantly by clicking a key on my computer keyboard here rather than laboriously right clicking and then selecting from a whole range of super icky default ableton colors. R: I've got just the thing. T: You mean you spent hours making a max patch that does this? R: Yep. T: What a waste of time. INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Assign each of these color swaths to any key on your computer keyboard (using command+K) 2. Select the color you want each key to correspond to, using the circle in the upper lefthand corner of each swath. 3. To color a region, just select it and press any of the previously assigned computer keys. I wanted it for comping, to quickly label parts that were good. Maybe you do too. We can be friends. YOU SHOULD KNOW: It can only color one region at a time. It will color the whole region, so if you want a segment of the region colored, you have to cut it first (command+e), then color. Make sure you assign your key to the color swath, not the upper-left color selecting ring button guy. If a color wheel comes up when you're trying to color a region, that's why. I PERSONALLY recommend putting it on your default session's master track. (It doesn't matter where you put it by the way.) And have keys then pre-assigned to colors. But you don't have to take my advice now do you, no sir. 㘟 |

| yeah the colors round to the nearest color in the ableton palate, if that's what you mean. that's something deeper about the way the app is programmed that i do not know and didn't think was worth digging into. *heart* |
| Ah, i see. Any chance you can update it to add 8 / 16 color options? Maybe a toggle to switch between 4/8/16? Would be great to assign the 16 pads of the LaunchKey Mini to 16 colors. Great little device tho. Thanks! :) |
| Amazing, had to dig a bit to find this. This will save me a ton of time when comping. Thanks for making this! |
