Description

UPDATED: now supports pulling the current patch from Kyra! Be careful though, make sure only one Kyra Controller is monitoring MIDI in when you press the button, because Kyra doesn't target patch transmit messages to a part.

This Max4Live device translates between Kyra's SysEx parameter change messages and Ableton Live, so you get a (very wide) one-control-per-parameter ability to automate all eight parts in real time, and the ability to record automation by twisting knobs on Kyra. Note that you need to set the SysEx ID to match your Kyra's configuration, and the Part ID to match the part you want the controls to edit (i.e. if you have 8 Kyra parts in your Live set, you need to have the Kyra Controller on each of those MIDI tracks, with the Part ID set appropriately on each). Parameter values save with your Live set. You can even just type in a new patch name! Because I'm never using Kyra's interface to name a patch ever again.

I hope others find this as fun and useful as I do. Let me know if there's something else you'd like to see it do!
