Description

Requires Expert Sleepers ES-5 & ESX-8GT expanders.

Use this device with standard Ableton CV Tools to send Gates using the ES-5 or ESX-8GT expanders

Send output from Ableton CV Tools to Audio Tracks in Live, then use the ESX8GT Track Helper to convert the audio signal to gates.

It will create gates from transients in drum audio too!

A little "plumbing" advice:

Create a group of 8 audio tracks. Set the new Audio Tracks to NO INPUT, set monitoring ON.

Drop the ESX8GT Track Helper on the group's master. Choose your ES-5 stereo pair, then your ESX-8GT header.

Choose your 8 audio tracks in the ESX-8GT Track Helper. Now any signal in your audio channels will output to the corresponding jacks!

Let me know if you have any troubles and I'll make a step-by-step video.

*1.1 updated a bunch-o-stuff including a toggle for the ES4/40-ES5

You'll need to add the es*encoder~ externals to Max for these to work.

On a Mac the location for externals (windows will be similar):

Users/Shared/Max 8/Library/

If using with an ES8/9 as an aggregate device turn off DRIFT CORRECTION
