Hey there,

might be depending on the vst plugin in question, but is there a way to programmatically load/change presets within plugins ? would streamline producing quite a lot, especially when programming sequences with external gear such as APC or monome.

cheers, nick

nice idea, basically there would be two alternatives, at least in my mind. 1. beat detection after beat repeat, conversion into MIDI I guess, that's not super easy/reliable as it comes down to identifying transients in audio (e.g. live warp markers or recycle). and those tools cater for it by allowi...

no worries, I am building my own step sequencer (MonoMIDI), but I am not sure whether it will be as deep as your ideas. And I know what you meant by chopping beats (slicing the audio). My question was rather why that should be part of the sequencer. I mean all M4L devices live within Live, and Live8...

alright, there is a brand new update after some initial constructive and positive feedback. The device should now be working flawlessly with any monome, I also added another mode to change the modulation range for each parameter via monome. On top of that, there is a beat detection mode which allows...

haven't tried that yet, but I thought that if the bang originated from the observer as well (such as "trigger b float"), that would be prohibited by the Live API in order to avoid endless loops.

get means you request the current value just once. just like a normal function call. observe means that internally, an "observer" is installed which delivers the new value whenever it changes ("call back"). that's called notification within M4L. The only issue with observer calls...

@doremifa: interesting stuff, I am working on a monome-enabled step sequencer which was initially based on the CS Step Sequencer which comes with M4L. just some questions: 1. coloured beats...what do you mean by that ? even the cs step sequencer allows you to sequence multiple individual sounds (e.g...

pls let me know what your max window and the debug output says.....

as there are reported problems getting this to work with launchpad and MonomeEmu (as well as other emulators), pls download the version from the monome forum http://post.monome.org/comments.php?DiscussionID=6849&page=1#Item_5 . This will display the low level osc communication in/out of the patc...

Hi there, there is a new shot at parameter sequencing, partly based on the existing device of Ivehon. I focused on adding extensive monome support (of course, can be used without as well) and adding some randomness to it. Main features: - Step Sequencer Control of up to 6 device parameters and up to...

quick question in regards to clip envelopes/parameters. I realized that when setting the type of a parameter to Int as opposed to Float, it would only me to choose "Absolute" as modulation mode which effectively hides them from the clip modulation list. which means only float parameters ca...

there are (probably) applications where one needs a certain slice of information (with considerable length) in order to process the audio. In terms of "jumping", so far, the only way to jump within clips is by specifying the number of beats as a double. and that's a relative jump, so you w...

I meant that you can't jump somewhere you don't know about yet.

the smaller the jumps, the less you need to know about, of course

just wondering why you would want to do that as the pitch shift/warp algorithm implemented within Live is probably better than what elastic~ can do. Recording the signal out of plugin~ into a buffer~ to process it with msp-externals would definitely add some latency, especially when it comes to beat...

makes sense if one wants to work "mouse-less", e.g. one could extend the CS Step Sequencer (which writes into Midi clips) to reverse the sequence upon pressing a button on your control surface or monome.
