Max for Live

Device Details


Overview

Name | Version: Add two buttons 0.0.1
Author: icoste
Device Type: MIDI Effect
Description: This device computes an average of two midi values and sends the result to a designated control wherever in Live using the Live API.

During one of my live sessions, I wanted to be able to add some variety to automation curves on the fly using my midi controller... Since it wasn't possible with Live only (as far as I know), I made this very simple midi effect that gets the average between two midi values, which can be controlled either with a midi controller or with an automation curve.

Basically, it helped me adding some variety to one of my set using a midi controller while keeping the precision of the automation that creates effects.

Attribution: In order to make it easy for someone to control a midi value in Live with this code, I used the code from synnack's getLivePath device (Please check his device over here: http://www.maxforlive.com/library/device/1293/getlivepath).

How to use:
1 - Link both dials to any midi controls that uses values 0-127 (like, a midi knob on a midi controller or an automation curve)
2 - Click the "Get API Path" and click on the control you'd like to handle with this device (so far, elements that don't use midi values can't be used as targets, i.e volume, panning and sends don't work)

IMPORTANT: Every time Live starts, you'll need to initialize the API Paths using the "Get API Path" button!

Maybe I'll update the device as such:
1 - Give the device some memory for the Live Path between sessions.
2 - Add a line control in order make a weighted average (30% of left dial, 70% of right dial for instance)
3 - ... Nothing incredible because so far I'm discovering Max4Live programming and it's my very first device :) Any help is welcome!
