Swing

Hi all,
I created a max for live device to SWING!

I was tired of spending time setting up Ableton Live's groove pool only to add a little swing to my clips, so I created this one.
It has a Swing knob that acts like the Ableton Push swing knob but MPC style: So 50% is no swing and 66% is perfect triplet swing. And anywhere in between lies the sweet spot. It goes up to about 75% but you can't really call that swing anymore :D

Ableton Live's groove pool is awesome. Don't get me wrong! But just a little swing knob makes life so much easier.

My device works in both the Session view and Arrangement view of Ableton Live. Depending on which view is active, swing is applied to your session clips or to your arrangement clips.
You can choose to apply swing to just the selected clip, to all clips of the selected track, or to all clips.
And it works on both MIDI clips as well as on audio clips!
