| Description: | All right. Let's not overthink this: all I did was replicate the bouncing DVD screensaver as a Max for Live device. Why? Because sometimes when I have an idea — and almost always my DUMBEST ideas — I have to see if it is possible. And if it is, I'm compelled to see it all the way through. I don't know why I am the way that I am; wish I did. Shout out to my buddy Ian (the artful pedal demo-er Collector//Emitter on YouTube!) for suggesting I turn this into an XY controller (and to Nick for giving this a test drive!). Not that DVD!!!!! needs to be used this way — sometimes sweet things can just exist to be sweet — BUT if you want to map it to stuff here's all you have to do: Step 1: Click on the bouncing dvd logo. The device will magically expand to the right. Step 2: There are two map buttons, Map X and Map Y. Click one, then click the parameter in Ableton you want to be controlled by the bouncing dvd logo overlord. Step 3: The little buttons NEXT to the map buttons? That's how you disengage the mapping. I've also added a "speed" control. Essentially, this'll give you some rough control over how fast (or not) the logo will bounce around. Revolutionary, I know. Click the bouncing logo again to make the controls disappear. That's about it! Let's be clear: I didn't put too much thought into this; there are probably some bugs and whatnot. I apologize. Mostly, this was a chance to try out some features I've never used before (and, you know, get a laugh). If someone finds this at all useful, excellent lmao Please leave a comment below if you're able to get the logo to bounce exactly in the corner (like in that Office cold open). Later! |

Also Me: *downloads immediately*
Great effort, seriously put a smile on my face. The only feature I would consider adding would be a trigger output for collision / color change.
