Sala sounds so good omg
Anyone got an idea how I could use Ableton devices/racks/built-in MIDI effects etc. to whip up a poor man’s pattern selector for Fors Roulette?
I initially had this idea to put a bunch of Roulette devices each in their own chain inside of a MIDI Effect Rack, and then use the chain selector to toggle between patterns, but the chain selector only relates to MIDI going into the rack, not the output, so you end up getting all the Roulette devices inside each chain just outputting their patterns all at once.
I would love to find a solution where I can map a pattern selector parameter to my MIDI controller and just glide through patterns with a MIDI knob.
Hey onekay,
Not sure if you’ve tried this already, but you could put all your Roulette devices into one group/chain, and then use a macro to just switch them on or off (unless there are specific reasons why you’d absolutely want to do that via a chain selector).
I have attached a screenshot that should hopefully illustrate this - let me know if you have any questions!
Edit: Actually, I just realised that this has one limitation (or feature, depending on your intentions): Whenever you switch off a Roulette instance, it stops on whichever trig it is and will resume from there(!) whenever you switch that instance back on again.
This may or may not be what you want, so I came up with another solution: Grab an empty MIDI Effect Rack(!), put your instances of Roulette in there on different chains, and then use a macro to switch their respective speakers on or off (guess you could alternatively use the solo button). This means all instances of Roulette will be running all the time and in sync, but only the output of the selected one gets passed on to the instrument on that track.
As you’re already using max, may as well use the very handy Max MIDI Sender & Max MIDI Receiver devices too.
Just add a Sender at the end of each Roulette chain, give each a unique number, and use the Receiver’s number box to choose which Roulette you hear. Easier than messing around with macros.
@BertiBauer @garf Thank you so much for those suggestions. Exactly what I needed! Those sender and receiver devices are sick too. Bless <3
