NOTE:
You need to activate "select on launch" from live's preferences for this to work. If anyone knows how to get the id of a triggered clip without selecting its track, please let me know. please.

Nice work, does it only work on the track where the device is loaded, or does it also listen to other tracks ?

Listens to all tracks but please, try it out. Curious how it works for people.

I will try it out today, i'm making a downtempo mix with bpm ranging from 66 to 110, ill let u know how it works here.

Works perfect...great work !!!

It has a few problems.

- The ramp length is badly calculated (i have an idea why).
- i would expect that the tempo change starts when the clip starts playing, not right after clicking on it.
- i would make the tempo stop when you hit the stop button while it's changing.

Gonna take a look, but had so much crashes when opening the device...

Yep that's what i was afraid of : the ramp time is calculated on the basis of the current tempo, which, by definition , is obsolete when you trigger the change. It would involve another algorithm, not sure it's doable with a really tight timing. Got to think about it.
The two other things are easy ones.

Thank you for the response M. Fou.

The tempo change itself is ripped from Monty's "Live tempo automator", but you are right. The ramp time should update during the tempo change, so the ramp will always be slow in the low bpms and fast in the high bpms. I have no clue how to do it, so any help is much appreciated. I will probably end up using a fixed time.

I have also found that it doesn't work properly when firing scenes, since the track with the tempo clip needs to be highlighted (or all clips in the scene have to be named with tempo information). I would LOVE to get the clip id from just triggering the clip (or playing it) without having to select the track or slot. Don't know if that's possible.
