Hi. When will an update be released for Max 6 compatibility? Thanks.

Hi soundsketcher, this device is working on my computer with Live 9.0.1 and Max 6.1.1 (both 32bit & 64bit). What are the issues ? Version 2.1 of Arpege with new features is in progress but I've not time at the moment to complete the work.

Thanks ;-)

Hi xygotcha, thx for comment ;-) You can save preset with Live set by shift-click in the preset circle on bottom left.

Hey Veedjee,

This is such a great device. Thank you so much.

Quick question. Is there any way to edit the live.step object so that the gold beat color is shifted to accommodate compound time signatures like 6/8?

In other words, right now the gold steps are every 4th which gets confusing with other time signatures not based on 4.

Also, is there any possible way to implement an export to clip button? Something that allows you to put the data on a clip already created in the track.

Thanks again!

Hello Savaels,

Thank you for your message, such a long time I didn't updated this device, nice to see people still using it !!!

You can edit the grid marker with the message "marker_horizontal $1" connected to the live.grid's first inlet.

No export planning at this point. For me, the simplest way to obtain MIDI clips is to record directly in Live with another MIDI track who receive the datas from Arpege device...

Thanks again & bye bye

Hey Veedjee,

Thank you so much for you response! I'm having so much fun with this thing.

I sort of understand what you mean regarding how to change the grid. I can't seem to find the live.grid object. I'm a new so please forgive any stupid questions.

I've poked around a bit by right clicking and going to the help for each object taking me further into the device. I can get to the side by side live.step objects but have no idea where the live.grid is.

Any help would be great and thanks again for you hard work on this!

hello there,
thank you for your excellent device!
do you know that ableton do not save Arpege's velocity parameters.

Hi veedjee

Is it not possible to play notes in arpeggiated order when holding several notes like a traditional arpeggiator? The notes just play at the same time...
It looks really great but if it lacks this feature I don't really see the purpose of it.
