Description

(Audio chain version)

Akit Combinate is a simple device to take 2 control/modulation signals A & B (or 1 signal and a fixed number) and combine or mix them, mapping the output to another device. Combine the signals with one of 11 different operators:

* just A/just B: just pass through one signal (e.g. if automating changes to operator)

* arithmetic operators: +, -, *, /

* exponent: A ^ B

* log: log(base B) of A

* avg: average of A & B

* min: lower of the two values

* max: higher of the two values

* mod: A modulo B -- a.k.a. clock math, 15 mod 12 = 3

* scale: scale the full range of A from 1 to B -- e.g. if you wanted a knob to go only from, say, 1 to 3

You can set the output to a particular range with the Min/Max stage, and then the output goes to the mapped device's knob/slider/etc.

Handy device for those who like to use Ableton like a big modular synth. Small footprint, you can string multiple of these together for more complex operations if desired.

Version History:

0.3: bugfix and change knobs from 0-127 to 0-100. additional operators (B-A, B/A, etc)

0.2: incorporates the device mapping from Live's built-in MultiMap, allowing up to 4 mapped devices.
