Monome clip launcher
Monome clip launcher
I created a max patch that allows you to launch clips in session view from a Monome.

Feedback welcome.
I'm having some issues with Live and Max/MSP freezing up and crashing. It's hard to pinpoint when this happens, but I think it's related to my metro object which is firing at 100ms intervals. Maybe I'm trying to do too much at this interval and overloading something in Max. Has anyone else experienced this?

Re: Monome clip launcher
works well!
It would be great if all the lights represented slots with clips in, and a flashing light represented a currently playing clip. Seems solid and stable though!

Re: Monome clip launcher
nobbystylus,
Glad you liked it. I agree with your suggestion. The issue is how do you differentiate between playing clips and clips that have been fired but are not yet playing. The APC 40 does this with different colors, but we're limited on the Monome to just one color. One option would be to have different clip states blink at different intervals. I'll experiment.
Surreal,
Can you check your link? It's a 404 for me.

Re: Monome clip launcher
Hopefully that works now
If make sure to stop the transport and start it again after you add the patch if nothing is happening.
the max patch should be on the master audio track.

Re: Monome clip launcher
i would say yes clips that have been fired would flash very fast. Clips that are currently playing would flash quite slowly, filled slots are represented by lit buttons. Good stuff!jbaudanza wrote:nobbystylus,

Re: Monome clip launcher

I couldn't get the monome clip launcher.axmd to load from the max audio effect folder, what am I doing wrong?

Re: Monome clip launcher
dooZ, there are a number of patch files in the directory that need to remain with the amxd file. If you're copying the amxd file somewhere, make sure to copy everything with it. Hope that helps.
Re: Monome clip launcher
hey, thanks for the replies. I'll try tonight.
jb, I have all your files in a folder I created.
the only file that shows is the clip launcher . axmd
monomeserial set to launch, but that wouldn't effect the patch from loading..

Re: Monome clip launcher
dooz, not sure what's wrong. Are you sure you're dragging the effect into your audio chain and not a midi chain? Do other Max effects load for you?

Re: Monome clip launcher
Good job! Tested both the versions ("Monome Clip Launcher" and "wip2") and they work well on my monome
I was able to crash max and live two times when testing, I think it's related to the edit mode of the max patch. I hope it will be more stable in the final release of max for live.

Re: Monome clip launcher
Just pushed a new version:
1) Clips slots with loaded clips now show up
2) Blinking is now synced up with the current BPM. It's a little more aesthetically pleasing this way.
Question for you guys. How much do you care about:
a) configurable address prefix and
b) scene launch buttons?
