Hi Spiralune,
First, I will be more patient in understanding the instructions here, as they are very thorough. But the sentence structure and phrasing is rather fragmented, as technical float-over info text tends to be, and I cannot from your initial statement understand what this device is accomplishing.

If you have 4 chains, couldn't you either assign the chain to a note range on a midi channel? then tap a corresponding pad? Or couldn't you in the example of 4 chains just distribute them evenly across the full range and use 4 positions on one dial? Why do I need to use this device? What user case scenario does this device solve? When does it become immediately obvious that this device is the way to address a problem?

hi
check this first

le premier "?" ?tait un "a" accent grave :)

Maybe better to write in English :)

thank you for this info

Nice! was in the middle of building this exact thing when I came across your device for midi, which led me here. Good work!

Hi Spiralune,

First off this is an awesome device.

I have an idea for a small edit to your patch.

Basically Im using two of them to fade between racks of m4l FX. I do this by putting two racks full of FX inside of another rack and putting fades on the chain selector regions. I put one of your devices before each of the FX racks full of devices. Essentially a rack of racks. The problem I have is that your device wont properly refresh wile inside of another rack (which makes sense). My current solution is to pull your device out of the rack, (along with its corresponding FX rack) refresh it (so it links to the clip slots to the FX rack) and put it back into the rack (rack of racks). I hope that's not to confusing.

While I can make it work to fit my needs, I'm wondering how hard it would be to update the device so that you could refresh it wile INSIDE of another rack...

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please let me know if I can better explain myself.

Great device, but it doesn't work in Ableton 11 anymore, or does it? Does someone know what to change to get it to work?

The Max console says: "$" variable out of range (1)

hi Mearthe

ok i don't have live 11

I will try to solve this problem

thanks
