Ableton clock/metro question - how to divide?

Post by undercover shutdown » Sun Oct 24, 2021 4:48 pm

Hey all,

I come from the modular synth world and trying to figure out some clock dividing. Hoping someone here can offer some advice.

If my master clock is set to 120 and I want to divide that to send to certain sequencers plugins, how can this be done? Is there a built in way to do this, or would I need to use another plugin for this?

Example would be to run a basic step sequencer on one MIDI track at 120bpm, while on another MIDI track, run the same sequence but divide the metro/clock by 2 or 4. I can't find anything that currently does this, even with Max for Live plugins.

Any help would be appreciated.

I really hope that this feature will be implemented. For now it's not really possible without some workaround with a max patch outside Live.. [rtin] object doesn't work in a live context..
