APC40 Utilities patch now available

Post by two_masks » Wed Jan 25, 2012 10:25 am

After a couple of years of procrastination, I'm finally gearing up to polish and publish the Max for Live patches I've developed for my Live performance rig. First one out of the gate is my APC40 Utilities patch. Features:

1. Metro Scroll: displays a transport-synced scrolling "metronome" on the Track Select Buttons. The scroll completes once-per-bar, with the downbeat synced to the Live transport.

2. Momentary Solo: solo buttons deactivate on release instead of their normal "toggle" behavior.

3. Illuminate Stop: when a clip is playing in one of the first eight tracks of a Live set, the clip stop button associated with that track will be illuminated. Clip stop buttons flash in beat during the final bar of the clip.

4. Track Select Takeover: the eight track select buttons act as momentary switches to control the on/off state of four parameters on two different (selectable) devices. In my performance setup I have these mapped to beat repeat racks on my drums and "everything else" busses.

Grab it here: http://www.maxforlive.com/library/device.php?id=1024

Nothing revolutionary, but it's priceless in my setup. Hope a few folks find it as useful as I have.

@chase- I play wherever they'll have me =). I do a lot of work with LoveTech ( http://lovetech.org ), and have played at Mezzanine, Temple, Shine, Il Pirata, Koko, etc.

I actually have a show tonight (Wednesday 2/8) at Madrone on Divisadero if you're free. I'm on at 11pm, no cover. Say hello if you make it out!
