Kapture to Change Tempo, Other M4L Device States?

Post by radionowhere » Thu Dec 20, 2012 2:52 am

Hey everybody - just came across Kapture & downloaded it. Very excited about the possibilities here.

However, I'm wondering if perhaps it doesn't do what I need it to do - hoping someone knows the answers to a few quick questions.

I have a very simple Live Set where I'd like to switch between several songs with slightly different instrumentation.

Each of these songs also has a different tempo, though. I've inserted Kapture on a track in my set and stored 2 snapshots, each at a different tempo. When I switch between songs, though, the tempo is not changing. Can Kapture change tempo?

Furthermore, I also have 2 other M4L devices in the set, each of which needs to have different settings in each song. It doesn't seem that Kapture is storing those differently in each snapshot either. Does Kapture not read the states of other M4L devices?

Finally, the Kapture Support page says "Documentation included".
I downloaded and unzipped the archive, but it seems to only contain the .amxd - am I missing something?

Thanks!

You're not missing anything.
Kapture is a good idea in theory, but it lacks complete and efficient ability, and it's poorly supported

However did you did you know if you name a scene in Live "90 BPM" that it will change the tempo to 90 BPM when you fire that scene?

You should look into Morgan Jerks stuff on m4l dot com.
Much better ideas as "preset saving" per clip

thanks, JuanSOLO.

No, I did not know that about the scenes - thanks! I think I've solved my problem with ClyphX (which is awesome, and the support is even better), but I'll keep this in mind.
