Overview

Name | Version: Zone 1.0
Author: Benoit
Device Type: MIDI Effect
Description: Zone is a tiny Max for Live MIDI Effect that passes only the notes inside a key range and lets everything else through untouched. It simply lets you optimise how you use the keyboard from one song to the next — a split tailored to each track.

Two independent, toggleable bounds: Lo passes notes >= its value, Hi passes notes < its value (the pivot note belongs to the upper zone). Turn one off for an open-ended range, both off to pass everything. Learn captures a bound from the next note you play, or click the on-screen piano.

- Macro-mappable: both bounds are Live parameters. Put one Zone at the head of each Instrument Rack chain and drive every split point from a single Rack macro. Instances stay independent yet synchronizable — the sync lives in Ableton, not the device.
- Full passthrough: control change (expression, sustain, breath...), pitch bend, aftertouch, program and poly pressure all pass unchanged.
- No stuck notes: a held note always gets its note-off, even if you move or disable a bound while it rings.

Stack as many instances as you like to build arbitrary multi-zone keyboard splits.
