Device Type: MIDI Effect
Description: TITLE
Metro Gnome




VERSION
0.1 Beta




SHORT DESCRIPTION
A Max for Live performance display system that sends lyrics and chord charts from Ableton Live to tablets, phones, stage screens, or projectors over your local Wi-Fi/LAN.




FULL DESCRIPTION
Metro Gnome is a live-performance companion for Ableton Live Session View. It turns scene and clip information into a readable remote display for musicians and performers.




The bundle includes two Max for Live devices:
• Metro Gnome - Lyrics — sends song/section lyrics to a browser display on port 8787.
• Metro Gnome - Chords — sends chord-chart sections to a browser display/editor on port 8788.




The workflow is built around Ableton Session View: the scene identifies the song and the playing clip identifies the current section. A second device on the same local network can open the Metro Gnome browser display without needing an Ableton installation.




Useful for:
• lyric monitors
• chord-chart displays
• keyboard/guitar stage reference
• rehearsal rooms
• projector displays
• tablet-based live performance rigs




REQUIREMENTS
Ableton Live with Max for Live. Live 12 is recommended. The chord service requires Python 3. The lyric web display uses the included Node-for-Max support files in the current build.




STATUS
Beta. Built and tested as a working personal live-performance system; users should test their network and display setup before performance.
