Description

This device was made with the same purpose in mind than V.1. of the multi-stage-clips device (http://www.maxforlive.com/library/device/1861/multi-stage-clips). But since it utilizes a very different workflow, I decided to upload both. Each of them may suit your needs better, depending on the circumstances.

The device enables you to launch any given number of clips in a track in series or randomly by just repeatedly pressing one button.

How to:

- Put the device on the track, whiches clips you want to launch.

- Choose the first and the last clip. You can just enter their scenes number in the device or click on the clip an click "set selected" in the device.

- Click the "Fire!" button to start the first clip. Every time you click again, the next clip in the row is launched. after the last clip is launched it starts again from the first.

- Assign a midi-controller to the "Fire!" button. Depending on the kind of controller you may switch the Compatibility mode (for those controllers sending note-off messages (like keys or switches) and those which do not).

- Switch to "Random" mode and the Clips will be launched in random order. (No clip will be launched twice until every other clip was launched).

- You can use multiple instances of the device on the same track, controlling different ranges of clips (also overlapping).

- You can manually set the next clip to be launched in the numberbox next to the "Fire!" button.

- Click "Reset" to set the first clip the next to be launched. ATTENTION: this applies to every instance of the device in you live set.

- There are three compatibility modes for different kinds of midi-controllers mapped to the "Fire!" button:

1. momentary buttons sending Midi-CCs

2. toggle buttons sending Midi-CCs

3. buttons sending note-values

- For visual Feedback on your midi controller you may setup an extra dummy-clip for each set of "multi-stage-clips".
