Mapulator

Post by Down8ch » Thu Apr 11, 2013 8:28 pm

So, I recently discovered a device called Mapulator by Mad Zach. I am in awe 8O

I'm really attracted to the idea of mapping multiple parameters with one knob and tweak the individual envelopes to sit with each other. This opens up a world of possibility when thinking about playing in front of an audience and also creating custom macros

Gah, I'm only a few hours into my work shift and I already can't wait to get back to my studio!

Look up some symptoms and fake them, then tell your boss you've got to go home to recover...

I love that device. But i hate that you can't save it in racks etc.. After loading it doesn't recall settings.

According to the dev it would be updated, that is a long time ago now. Currently it introduces substantial latency and doesn't save in Racks.

Isn't there an official Ableton M4L device yet that can do this?

The device uses an external object so as such it remains relatively difficult to update... The benefits of having the curves are worth the wait i'd hope....

We have a similar device in our modular series called Smart but it relies on you drawing in your own smart graphs rather than working with curves...

All of the latest devices have been updated for Live 9, the ones described in the manual are for Live 8...

We've done videos for each of the updated ones, Looper, Follow and Smart....

The rest will follow along with new manuals for the additional functionality!

Yes! They retail at £8.00 each or £17.99 for the entire series and any future devices we add to it!

All subscribers get a £5.00 discount voucher off of future purchases as well....
