Description
Futility v4 is a MaxForLive device that gives you very handy shortcuts that aren't natively implemented into Live.
It also provides a floating mixer window.
It works on the currently selected track:
- un/mute the selected track
- un/solo the selected track
- un/arm the selected track
- unmute, unsolo, unarm every tracks
- show/hide the envelope/modulation tab in the detail clip view
- un/fold the selected track
- un/zoom the selected track vertically and horizontally in Arrangement
- toggle play/stop the selected clip (in Session)
- automatic track arming option
- focus to the browser/arrangement/device view (useful for navigating with your keyboard's arrow keys).
- quickly move your selected clip to a new Lane (requires Live11)
- save your Live Set from a midi controller.
- close the device/clip view
- "Devices Switchers" are shortcuts to turn on/off the first 10 devices/plugins in the selected track's chain.
- "Track Control" is a floating mixer that opens up at your current mouse's location!
