Overview

Name | Version: Archiduc 1.10
Author: chapelierfou
Device Type: MIDI Effect
Description: This is my new free M4L device, "Archiduc".
It allows you to trigger various actions in your Ableton Live Set from a single MIDI track, using MIDI notes sent to a Drum Rack which chains are named accordingly to the actions.

UPDATE 20250904 :
Total rewrite of the internals :
- FIX : simultaneous actions would not work properly
- IMPROVEMENT : TRACK actions can be now be called by track names, which is quite a game changer as you can now reorder tracks without breaking the actions (just hit "refresh" after moving tracks)
- ADDED : TRACK X DEVICE : selects devices
- ADDED : TRACK X DEVICEONOFF Y : enables/disables a specific device

UPDATE 20250630 :
Addition of
TRACK X RANDOMCLIP
TRACK X RANDOMCLIP X Y
CUEPOINT

I love this device but I have one problem I'm running into. I'm trying to launch two clips simultaneously.. one arms track one, the other un-arms track two. The two signals wont register in Archiduc at the same time. They have to be done at slightly different times. Is there any way to solve this?
@mattjmeade :
Ouch....You've discovered a nasty bug/issue. There is indeed a problem with simultaneous messages. I have a very good idea about what's causing this, but solving the issue might or might not be easy.
I'll have a look into it as soon as possible, it's on top of my list. I hope to come with a fix soon.
Meanwhile, I would stop using the device, or at least avoid simultaneous messages (A small delay, like 50ms, between events should be enough).
I sincerely deeply apologize for the inconvenience.
@mattjmeade :
Fixed, + added new functions, + access tracks by name !
