Overview

Name | Version: Tuple 1.0.13
Author: c0re
Device Type: MIDI Effect
Description: TUPLE — CHORD DEVICE FOR ABLETON

A harmonic composition tool for fast and musical chord selection, exploration and performance — directly inside Ableton Live. Drop tuple.amxd onto a MIDI track and it shows every valid chord for your key on one color-coded grid: 7 diatonic degrees plus a dedicated Borrowed column. No hidden pages, no standalone app.

WHAT IT DOES
– Chord grid — every chord in your key, always visible, color-coded by degree (spectrum, function, tension, fifths, quality)
– 15 voicings — Classic, Piano, Open, Spread, House, Prog, Rootless A/B, Drop 2/3, Jazz, Nu-House, Trap, Trance, Funk
– Voice leading — Anchor and Flow modes, with common-tone detection
– Borrowed chords — secondary dominants and modal interchange, one click away
– Expression — Strum (up to ±250 ms, curve & velocity ramp) and Humanize
– Live scale sync — imports Live's key and scale automatically on load
– Push 2 & MIDI — play the grid on Push pads; map 8 controls to any controller, saved with your set

WHO IT'S FOR
Producers who want to move faster through harmony, and anyone curious about how progressions fit together — theory or no theory.

STATUS
Active beta, fully open source (MIT). Feedback shapes what comes next.

Requirements: Ableton Live 11+ · Max for Live · Push 2 (optional, recommended)

Free · open source

Tuple — Changelog (v1.0.12)
Updates & fixes since the 1.0 release:

• macOS fix. A few Mac users were still getting a blank interface / "your file couldn't be accessed" even after updating — this sorts it out. Re-download from https://tuple.live/ and reload the device (About should read v1.0.13).

• Reliable updates — fixed a caching issue where the interface could keep
showing an older version after updating. Re-download once and you're current
(About should read v1.0.12).
• macOS — fixed the blank interface / "file couldn't be accessed" error caused
by how the device located its UI file (affected both the compact strip and
the full grid window).
• macOS — the full grid window now opens reliably.
• Stuck notes — toggling Voice Leading or VL Mode now releases any held notes;
fixed a computer-keyboard double-trigger that could make the following chords
behave erratically.
• Mouse-wheel on every menu — hover Key, Scale, Voicing, VL Mode, Octave or
Layout and scroll to cycle through the values.
• Compact view — restored the KEY / SCALE labels, the Voicings list now fits
without scrolling, and Sync moved to its own row so the Key button fits
(including C#).
• Push 2 — changing the colour Layout from the Push now updates the on-screen
grid as well.
• About — external links open in your browser instead of taking over the
device window.
• Manual — refreshed so the illustrations match the current device.
Install: the download is the unzipped device — keep the .amxd, its .js files
and the ui/ folder together in one folder.
