Using a more reliable method to create the effect.

All bugs should be fixed.

    Hah. awesome. People have been asking about tape stop effects on the ableton forums for years. Well done.

    When set to full stop I'm getting a click at the end of the drop when I let the drop wind to silence (version 1).
    (I didn't spot that this was already in the library, and built a very similar, but simpler device: http://www.maxforlive.com/library/index.php?type=audio )

    cool!!! thx!!!!
  • madlab · August 10 2012
    same as bitbutter for the click. Maybe this is related to the technique useing [record~] to the [buffer~] ? I'm going to try to add a very short fade out at the end of the slow down.

    Zalo, I've made a bunch of modifications to your device including :
    - allow the value of 8 beats to be selectable (wasn't in 1.0)
    - cancelling DC offset
    - using [live.thisdevice] to initialize it so you don't have to click on tapestop after loading to get sound
    - setting initial values for the time and beats dials for the same reason.
    - suppressing the click when stop mode is selected
    Are you ok to post it ?
  • mingus · September 18 2012
    Release it and just give him some cred?(!!!) Need it! :)

    Hi,
    just getting into max4live, I downloaded this great device:
    I'd like to alter the behaviour and just have to stop the currently playing clip. I have used M4L.api.FireSelectedClip.maxpat where M4L.api.ToggleTransport.maxpat is used but obviously this only retriggers the clip. Any idea about how to stop the clip?
    Many thanks
  • maxeryk · April 05 2013
    Hey guys.
    I installed it in the max device folder but it doesn't show from within Live browser. I'm able to launch it from Finder but not Ableton as I don't see it. Is there a proper way to make Live see a newly installed device?

    The number 8 doesn't work. It´s a bug
  • waver14523 · September 10 2013
    The number 8 in the "beats" doesn't work. It´s a bug.
  • NOBB · October 13 2013

  • EJWycoff · June 20 2014

  • djvar · July 09 2014

    Does anyone know how to map tap stop while using PUSH?
  • CaligulaCuddles · February 11 2018
    For those who are still using this, the Max for Live Essentials PitchDrop is much more stable.
