Device Overview

Name/Version: Note Follower 3.1
Author: zaSLON  
Description: Key tracking device

Note Follower 3.1 converts incoming notes into frequency automation and lets you map that automation to any device, even a VST plugins. You are able to set the boundaries of the filter frequencies so that it coincides with the boundaries of the device. Also, you can shift octave or smooth automation. Pitch bend is also could change the automation (choose the PB value of your synth). Version 2 now supports negative values for the frequency range (use + switcher).
Tested:

Live 11

Live 10

Live 9 [with Max installed] (but slightly UI shifts)

Hey zaSLON,

I just bought the new version and it's great! The new features add a lot, I've been wanting something like this for a long time now.

Also, here's a handy little trick to use the smooth control as a "pitch envelope"

https://imgur.com/DN3nc3m

* 'midi through' chain is empty, allowing midi to go to instruments that may be on the channel

* 'note follower' chain is off, so it doesn't interfere with "midi through'

* the 'fake pitch envelope' sub-rack contains Ableton's Pitch midi effect, and a simple midi delay, found here - http://maxforlive.com/library/device/1577/delay

* place Note Follower device inside the main rack, but after 'fake pitch envelope' sub-rack

* by offsetting the pitch and delay time, the pitched note will hit first, followed by the delayed note.

* As Note Follower triggers based on last note priority, the smooth parameter will create a contour between them, i.e. fake pitch envelope

super simple tip, but I thought it might be useful :P

Hey @KalanSorion ! Thank you! And yes, really useful tip!
