Description
This utility device will switch off all devices on a track when you mute that track. Similarly, it will re-enable them when you un-mute the track. This can be handy for all sorts of CPU-saving reasons.
This device was originally posted as part of a series of blog posts about programming in Max for Live at Noisemaker Academy, which has since deprecated. http://www.noisemaker.academy/muda/

This for the Solo function as well would be killer.
@moserobert: I'd like this too, but it is substantially more difficult. Max for Live can detect a group track, and if a track is grouped, but can't easily find a relationship between the two, so there's no way to tell Max to detect the grouped tracks inside a group track. It should work fine for tracks with Instrument Racks and Drum Racks, but for now, you'll have to mute each track individually.
it solves the very popular problem of muting drum_rack-located external instruments via Push!
i was in the middle of making my own patch, because that feature is crucial for me. I made the first half, but was struggling to disable devices via m4l, and found your device while googling that specific thing =)
i was searching for that kind of device before doing my own patch, but haven't succeed finding it..
much love!!! thank you very, very much!
this allows to have other racks and devices embedded which are always off. (for comparison and testing settings)
and it still will effectively disable all audio devices with less cpu usage.
maybe i will do this modification.
I noticed one missing feature, which would come really handy:
It doesn't work with grouped tracks if I put this on the main track of the group.
Can that be implemented?
Thank you.
Very very very good idea but...
I've installed it on each track (about 60).
It's getting slowly chen I want to add/delete.
I made a test in a free template (no return)
I only need 6 second to duplicate 256 audio tracks
If I a MUDA on each track, it's 48 second to duplicate the 256 tracks.
I don't have this problem with stock plug-in.
>An idea to optimize the plugin ?
This is pretty much killing me, as this was once a very useful device for large orchestral templets. Now I'm completely stuck.
Please, begging, can you fix this?
