Ableton Forum

Hello All,

I have an external analogue drum computer (mfb tanzbar) and i found a device that someone already made that maps all the parameters to the knobs on the external drum computer.

However, there is a feature I would like to add. The feature is a "send all parameters" to the unit so that i can save my settings, and then when i want to recall then, i would click a button and it would send all those parameters to the unit for it to recall that exact state.

Is it possible to go in and edit existing devices as such? i am really hoping there is a way instead of having to rebuild it from scratch.

Here is the device and you can see from the comments that many others would like that feature.

If it is not possible to add on top of it, how complex would you say it is to rebuild a device that does this.. basically just mapping CC parameters...

any help or reply would be greatly appreciated (not sure if these questions are ok as none of my posts get any replies lol). i am just getting started with M4L.

thanks

I didn’t check the device but it should send all the values when you load the set.
If not, something’s wrong but can be solved easily.

done =)

You will find the moded device here

I added too a morphing capability between 2 presets.

Hope it helps.

cheers

WOWsers... i will be testing it out today and let you know.

firstly, thank you.
secondly, if i wanted to begin to understand how to do that myself...

what would you suggest as the starting point?

seeing how much is possible continues to blow my mind.

Glad to help.
I hope it's working !

For a starting point it depends of what you mean by "starting point"..
..if it's making m4l devices, the max cycling'74 forum is really full of informations and people happy to help and threads that mainly allways already answer your questions..

...if it's how to add a simple preset system to any device, open the moded device and see what I added.

You can copy all I added in another device and it could work...pattrstorage is THE object for that, open its help and reference files to understand what it does..

only had a brief moment to play with it and i think it's working fine, will have to confirm it further.

and wow, ok, so i am interested in both and thank you for pointing to maxcycling'74 forum

in addition, i did not know you could add simple preset system to any device. that sounds also very cool and i will definitely give pattrstorage a dip and a dive.

thanks very much once again.
