Overview
Name | Version: | Anomaly Performance 0.126 |
Author: | LongestJourney |
Device Type: | MIDI Effect |
Description: | I kind of made it for myself but decided to share anyway. Maybe it will be useful for someone. ;-) There are some frequently used fuctions of Ableton Live that can not be easily mapped to MIDI events, (control change, etc). You can map scene navigation but not really a track navigation (only particular tracks to be highlighted). Same with mute/solo/arm. And what is most important you can't map "Insert MIDI Clip", "Delete Clip" or "Duplicate" and you have to reach for your mouse everytime you need those (it kills workflow for me). So here is some simple patcher to solve those and provide several more functional features. It uses M4L.api for navigation, ring.KeyPress (http://www.chilp.ringtrio.de/MAX/ring_keyPress.class) for keystrokes and live.path and live.object for other stuff. It works for me. ;-) 1. Version: Build.126 2. Instalation: a) Extract to: Ableton/Library/Presets/MIDI Effects/Max MIDI Effect/ b) Load to MIDI Track (any MIDI track but I recomend creating a new one) c) Hit Ctrl+M and MIDI map buttons. d) Done 3. Requirements: Ableton Live 8.2.2 (http://ableton.com) Max 5.1.8 (http://cycling74.com) ring_keyPress.class (http://www.chilp.ringtrio.de/MAX/ring_keyPress.class) 4. Features: Create Clip - creates new MIDI clip in the highlighted slot Delete Clip - deletes a clip from highlighted slot Duplicate Clip - duplicates a clip from highlighted slot Rename Clip - open textbox of a clip name Redo - redo Undo - undo Copy - copies a clip from highlighted slot Paste - pastes a clip to highlighted slot Up - navigation, one scene up Down - navigation, one scene down Left - navigation, one track left Right - navigation, one track right Center - launches selected clip Delete Currently Playing - on the selected track finds and deletes a clip that is currently playing Recreate Currently Playing - on the selected track finds and deletes a clip that is currently playing, and then creates a new one Mute Selected Track - enables/disables mute on selected track Solo Selected Track - enables/disables solo on selected track Arm Selected Track - enables/disables arm on selected track 5. To do: - ability to choose a new clip length - clip loop enable/disable (done, just bring to the interface) - Emergency Playing Clip Stop (without delete) - Something wrong with M4L.api.Undo i M4L.api.Redo 6. Concat and bug reports: marek -at- longestjourney -dot- eu Comments and hints how to make it better very welcome! Enjoy! Bless! |

Create, Delete and Duplicate don't work for me 'out of the box'. Live 8.2.2 and M4L 5.1.8.

After more testing, only the navigation and mute solo arm buttons works. It's a shame because I'd really like to get access to the other functions but don't have a clue on how to do it.

Whoa, could you please provide some more info so I can fix that?
I use this patch and I'm sure it works for me, just wondering what's wrong that it's all messed up for you.
Did you map it to MIDI controller? Mouse clicking the buttons won't work indeed, you have to use external MIDI...

Btw. About not working "out of the box". You need to put that:
http://www.chilp.ringtrio.de/MAX/ring_keyPress.class
Into the:
Cycling '74\Max 5.0\Cycling '74\java\classes
Also please do check out keypress author's profile on Maxobjects: http://www.maxobjects.com/?v=authors&id_auteur=313&requested=keypress&operateur=AND&id_plateforme=0&id_format=0

I sent the author an email asking to fix the broken link. Note the "report link" button next to the link too that you can use to report these to me so I can try to get them fixed.

No response and the link still broken. Emailing one more time.
I was afraid this would happen when I let people link elsewhere.

The download link for the device is working. The link to the necessary ring_keyPress.class is not. I found a link to it on http://www.maxobjects.com. The class file can be downloaded here:

Into the:
Cycling '74\Max 5.0\Cycling '74\java\classes
Once I followed the instruction above all of the buttons started to work but a few unexpected quirks make it too random for live performance. I kept deleting the track that the device was in which was annoying. It then got stuck in a loop and created new tracks over and over. Care needs to be taken with midi mapping. I was using my Oxygen triggering Note On msgs and had to double press the L-R, Up-Down. All this is making me less inclined to bother.
I found this device to be the most stable for moving around the screen. http://www.maxforlive.com/library/device/545/clip-navigation
