Cool device! Can imagine getting some cool drum grooves by alternating between two clips.

What was your initial intended use case? Would love to hear how you're using it!
@broah Thanks! Tbh I haven't actually done anything with it yet. I just thought it was a cool idea and became fascinated by the problem space (assignment problem, Hungarian algorithm etc). My initial intended use case was to automatically create subtle transitions from one drum pattern to another (or possibly bass lines).

I also would love to hear about actual uses of the device :)
Thank you for making this and making this available! I would love to use this device but I cannot work out how to get it running. I followed your usage instructions.

For example - I'm in session view - I've tried placing two MIDI clips on the same track and I'm selecting one clip for 'From' and one clip for 'To' and a third empty midi clip on the same track for 'Out'. The track is armed for recording (just in case). I'm doing this in this way becuase if I try and work across tracks - one clip in one track, one clip in another, and the out clip in another track - it doesnt seem possible to select 'From' 'To' and 'out' clips on the MidiMorph.

Do you know what am I doing wrong?

Can you provide a bit more explanation as to how to get this device up and running - I'd really love to explore it!
@daveybfire The clips need to be on the same track as the MidiMorph device. Select a clip first, then click the button on the MidiMorph device you want to assign it to (from, to, out). The button should then be active (yellow using the default theme in Ableton 10) and show the name of the clip. As soon as you have assigned all three buttons the out clip should be filled (assuming from and to have any notes in them :).

It's not necessary to always have an out clip assigned, though: The device will play the current pattern through its MIDI output (if the play button is on). Also, you can click Clip to create a new clip in the current track.

If it still doesn't work, please open an issue at GitHub. I don't get notifications of new messages here :(
super nice device!
Really in my top 10 M4L devices !!
thank you so much !
your patch is really really beautiful !
Hi, this looks cool, and I was actually looking for something like this, maybe you can help me out:
I am looking for a solution where when I record a quantized audio or midi clip I can drop a device on it and this device will let the clip play then chop off a bit from the end of the clip and puts it in the front and let it play again. - size of bits defined by the user: 1/64, 1/32, /16, /8, /4 or even other sizes...
and also it should work when the clip is looped - so when the clip has been played it gets another chop which will be put in the front and the loop goes on and on...

Would be an interesting option to have it on the other way around as well, maybe with a selector: chop from the end / chop from the beginning (and put it at the end)

Is there a solution for that for both audio and midi clips?

Thank you.
@poplesz I think the device "Parameter Rotation 2" by Dennis DeSantis (https://maxforlive.com/library/device/4170/parameter-rotation) might be similar to what you're looking for.
