Description

Locator Trigger scans and displays up to 32 Locater points from the arrangement view timeline.

Each Locator point can be triggered by having this device on a "dummy" MIDI track and triggering clips on that track named 1-32.

For example, if you have a clip named "1", it will trigger the first locator point. If you have a clip named "10" it will trigger the tenth locator point.

This can be useful if you wish to trigger different parts of an arrangement using session view.

    Thank you Tom! Very useful for my live-set in arrangement-view. You made my day ;-)

    Excellent device. Thank you for posting. The only modification I made was to add in m4l.api.ToggleTransport.maxpat and have it triggered every time a locator was selected in the object so that it works when the transport is off.

    Thanks for this, I have a question though.
    I want to be able to press one midikey and go to next locator in ableton, but when I assign Next og Prev I have to press i twice. How can I change this?
    Thanks.

    Hey, thanks for that device! Could you add a function to allow the user to set sort of a playlist for the locators? E. g. if I wanted to define play locator 1, then 2, 3, after 2, then 3, 2, 3 again, and so on? I would like to play verse 1, chorus, verse 2, chorus, verse 3, chorus, bridge and neet to define what shall come after the other
