| Description: | Sends Manager is a Max for Live device designed to simplify per-track send control to Return effect tracks. Originally designed for the Akai APC40 mkII as it has 8 continuous encoders. I found no way to use my APC40 mkII to use the same encoders to control sends on different tracks as I could only MIDI map those knobs to one track. So I designed this Max4Live device to do just that. It has a built in memory of the send levels per track, so when you switch tracks, each send level is saved then recalled. The device provides dedicated controls for up to 8 sends on the currently selected track. You'll need to MIDI map the device dials to your MIDI controller knobs, which is pretty easy to do. Each send control is dynamically labeled using the name of its corresponding Return track. This was designed for any MIDI device with continuous encoders, preferably with an LED ring so you know where the last setting was. Once you map the MIDI encoders to the Sends Manager dials, you no longer need to look at your Ableton Live screen to see where you left the send levels. Some compatible MIDI controllers this should work with, which I think all have continuous (endless) encoders: Akai APC40 mkII (8 endless dials; Ableton-focused). Novation Launch Control XL 3 (24 endless encoders). Intech Studio Grid Series 3 DJ TechTools MIDI Fighter Twister (16 endless encoders, LED feedback). Faderfox EC4 (16 gridless push encoders, OLED feedback). OXI Instruments E16 (16 endless encoders with LED rings; newer option). Behringer BCF2000 (legacy, but has high-resolution encoders with LED rings). Novation Impulse (older keyboard line, but includes endless encoders). Thank you to Peter Nyboer, the MaxMSP God for helping me put this sucker together! -Brian |
