ClyphX – Utility script for Live 8 and 9 (and Live 7 too)

[metastatik]

Thanks for the feedback everybody. I will try to get relative track launching in the next update and will shoot a vid of the new features once the beta is finalized.

This is amazing! Not having to use a dedicated track for ClyphX actions allows you to neatly organize and hide the scripts in a group track.

Could you please add the possiblity to (de)activate external midi sync? I wish I could map the EXT button. You can't MIDI-map it, so ClyphX is my last hope

that update is off the freaking scale man.
i was wondering, are there a possibility of applying rulesets by any chance?
things such as if then else statements etc?
and/or qwerty keyboardshortut emulations?

oh and yeah, ill make sure to throw some money in your way as soon as i can afford it, because this is just fantastic!

Hello ableton,

Would you consider adding this as a feature ? This would improve live's workflow, add support, give money to metastasik and garantee that's it's gonna work for years. After all it can be seen as an extension of scene names with bpm and time sig. It's the most elegant solution ever.
Just my opinion.

When people create things like this that extend the use of a product so much, it just makes me wonder, if (as they clearly are) these features are possible, how and why they are not implemented in the first place? You'd think that the Ableton programmers/writers would know the program better than anyone, yet things like this imply that they don't know jack.
(Obviously a slight exaggeration)

This is fantastic work though. And I was also wondering whether to get Max for Live and I'm not so sure it's as worth it now.

Thank you, Mr. Metastatik/Stray.

Ableton should really be taking notes..

this + ipad griiid .... take Live to the next level...
shadowing m4l/Liveapi implementation...

please...less friggin 'artist packs'...more coding and innovation...

[chapelier fou]

Honnestly this is absolutely bringing live to the next level.
I really wish it was official. I mean, i do perform with live for living, and it's very important for me to use something with support, something i know it won't vanish for any reason. Really no offense, metastasik, but i'll not gonna take the habit to use CliphX on stage if it's not official and supported. Unless i come to the point that i can rely on myself for solving eventual problems, or if it is no more supported by future versions of live. Call me paranoid i don't care. That's my egoist point of view.
But seriously, anyway, thank you so much for this. It is THE solution.

Ableton should really be taking notes..

Be sure they are.

@CF
I see what you're saying CF...
I usually end up ironing tech issues out in rehearsal time...
and I change my setup around on a yearly rate..
so I really don't care if it's 'supported' or not...
if it works in a few rounds of rehearsal then it's probably good to go!

about the alternnative/next generation type of control...
I'm reeally not sure as of WHY Ableton weren't all over the iOS/Android thing from the get-go...
it seemed like a very obvious (even natural) move...

[bosonHavoc]

oo i can see we are gonna be friends..
i just downloaded the beta version and i can see this will be very use full
thanks man!

I really wish it was official...

M4L is official, and I have had plenty of fun but plenty of issues inducing crashes. Granted it hasn't crashed on me in a while, but I dont use it like I used too (see ClyphX), but it has made for some other strange behavior. I have a hard time trusting M4L.

I have done my best to learn and implement ClyphX for the past month or so, and test run every command I could think of in various ways. It just works. Never once has it shown me a sign of instability. I'd say it's %99 Live performance ready.

... And I was also wondering whether to get Max for Live and I'm not so sure it's as worth it now...

From just a control standpoint i.e. the Max side of things, I completely agree. M4L still has some MSP and Jitter capabilities, but so far I am over it, especially when those kinds of devices push CPU way up, and many of them only work half as good as other plugs and or software.

[bosonHavoc]

ya i'm pretty excited..
i just read about macrobat.. a way i can use racks to control things! dope!
i'm going to go print up the manuals and do some reading..
i have not been this excited about reading a manual since when i first got live hehe..
i'm going to learn the hell out this and do a cypher workshop
when i get the next ableton user group meeting set up in Austin

I feel the same way about m4l...
but having Max within Live is a very elegant concept imo..
I still believe that when matured it will rock !
(it'll be a blast to have m4l and Live working as one and not against each other, )

and I do agree that clyphx works pretty flawlessly .... simply beautiful implementation
