Hello,
I bought this and am trying to map a .aupreset file.
However, nothing happens when I click the square.
Any suggestions? It works otherwise.
Thank you
Ben
Cool tip!
Sorry if it's buggy. This was one of my first m4l devices, so it's not surprising. I seem to remember that it was pretty well-organized, so it might not be too hard if someone wants to fix it. Nowadays I pretty much only make really specialized stuff for my live performances so I doubt I'll revisit this device unless someone makes it worth my while. But if someone else improves it, I'd love to update this device.
So here's the thing:
First of all, this will only work on a MIDI or Instrument track, not an audio track.
The key difference to understand is have MIDI CCs coming into the track input, rather than having parameters be automatically mapped.
First, in your preferences, make sure TRACK INPUT is turned on for your controller. Then you need to make sure that the controller is sending MIDI CCs on that port.
To do this, you might need to change the template on your Novation away from the Ableton preset. Not sure.
Then, once the track is receiving MIDI input, you should be good to go.
I updated your device so one can rename the macros:

It's probably something simple, but I'm not working with M4L too much right now. You might want to try poking around and seeing if you can fix it yourself. If you do, I'll gladly update the device
I don't think it would be too hard, but honestly I'm not working too much with M4L these days. Probably best to do it yourself. If you improve it, I'd love to update the device
I think you can right click on the bpatcher, go to 'OBJECT' and choose 'new view' Then you can copy and paste to a new patcher. If you improve it, I'd like if you could post it up here and I'll update the device
@Markemark29

Thanks! I updated the device
Hi Lek
I'm still confused. If I keymap the up and down buttons, they work no matter where the focus is on the set.
Yeah, it'd be nice to get access deviced in a rack, but I don't know how to do it.
Not sure what you mean
Thanks! Just stuff I've always wanted to do and finally can
@M4LFiend

Info Text is cool, but sometimes you forget you wrote a note for something if you leave the info view closed, like I do.
I hacked a way to make it control Native Live devices. Paste this into a Max audio effect:

@Markemark29 I don't know how to do that. Sorry.
One thing I noticed about your patch is that it treats note ons and note offs the same. This might not matter too much with drums, but you don't want a synth pattern to get a hung note. I added on a section that splits it up into two streams and lets the note off pass through. The note ons get processed like normal.
Here it is:

@pp:
It didn't come across badly at all. :)
Yes, it's too bad Live isn't more hip to absolute time, but the ability is there. The timeline at the bottom of the arrange page properly accounts for tempo and signature changes, so it can be done. Hopefully we can figure it out!
Hi pp,
Well, my patch's metro is set to 100ms, plenty of accuracy for counting in seconds. The issue I was referring to is that the counter assumes that the current tempo is consistent for the whole track. If you start a track at 100bpm and let it run for awhile, it will work fine. If you then change the tempo while the set is running, the counter goes haywire, because it just goes by the current tempo.
It's a midi effect. Put it on the same track that has the device you want to mess with. The clip will record a cc (you can choose which one) and then the plugin converts that and controls the parameter with it.
