So this is envisioned to work like octatrack scenes?
Yeah pretty similar but merging between 4 snapshots.
I think there may be some people interested in that here ![]()
Not sure if I get it how it works exactly (not familiar with Octatrack), but if it does what I think it does, it seems really great!
Count me in!
Sounds like I havenāt been wasting my time⦠thanks for the encouragement. The core functionality is working as described above, there are a few UI and functionality tweaks I want to make (allow users to choose slot colours, quick select transition times using bottom row, edit parameters for all or selected slots etc)⦠feel free to DM if you have any ideas. Iām working on beta for both Ableton and push 3 so will have to check whether itās working correctly on official release. I better get on with it!
in basic terms it allows you take (currently) up to 48 snapshots of the whole live set and then either a) do a tempo synced or instant transition between the current and a new snapshot (this is a bit like the left side of the Neuzeit Drop Iām guessing, I havenāt got one so donāt quote me on that) or b) choose 4 of the 48 snapshots and then transition smoothly between those using x, y pad (this is partly what the octatrack does with its scenes/ slider but only between 2)
Can you make a crossfader swap between them?
Awesome! Very much interested!
an external crossfader or something on the pads⦠I think the latter is what Iāve done when I hook it up to the new x-y touch pad functionality on the push?
I perhaps need to make a video⦠only got a crappy iPhone though so it might not be the best
Please do so!
Very curious ![]()
Not pads, a crossfader, like on an APC 40mk2
or just make it midi mappable, thatās what Iām saying.
Got it. It should work⦠one of the deviceās x or y dials could be midi mapped meaning you can morph through just one axis using a cross fader. Iāll let you know.
Are there other m4l-devices that take over the Push-surface, besides Dyad and Sting2? I really enjoy using both very much because they are so hands on.
Some of the Novel sequencers do this equally well.
I really enjoy Ianās granular machine called Celestine:
It doesnāt take over the pads, but the integration is brilliant and the soundscapes you can get from it are unbelievable.
Iāve never used it but Sidebrain created a rhythm generator which does take over the pads:
Iām getting there with this device⦠will be doing a short demo video this weekend. Got it working with an external midi slider which means you can keep the āslots viewā up to swap the 4 corner scenes more easily but works well with the pushās xy pad too. Have set it up so you can use on all tracks (available as a third choice between notes and session views). Thanks for the likes really gave me the kick to try to finish this off.
Very keen to try this when itās ready!
I use the old Max device called Smooth Automator to change to variations over a defined period but itās pretty unreliable.
So Iād love to try out your new device.
