Description
Instrument Sleep Timer is your auto timer for turning off the instrument that is on the same track as the device.
What it does:
-start a predefined countdown on the last played midi note (off) message
-detect instrument on the device's track
-turn off instrument after the countdown
-turn on instrument on the next midi note
Use case:
-save CPU
-use as workaround for max for live's shitty midi routing
-set different midi channels for different instrument tracks and don't worry about CPU when switching channel/instrument (or alternatively record arm)
Keep in mind:
-you may have to play a second note in order to get sound after standby
-also works for instrument racks
-controlling rack chains is not supported
