- New note off evenement menu for the grid and the randomisation section.
- Consideration of the grid pattern in the "edit loop only" mode.
- New layer of mappable MIDI controls on the arrow keys and other parameters.
- Mappable control now for each button except those redoubled.
- New "grid link" switches, combo and sort order toggles for each section.

- Patch improvements.
v2.0.1
- Names of the parameters controlled by Live.remote fits the display size.
- New "fix" switches to keep parameter values when you randomize all the seqs.
- "Init" in the all section will also reset the loop on all the steps if "edit all" is activated.
- Preset autos pulse does not change the preset immediately when you play a note.
- Improve stability and CPU usage.
- Patch cleaning, reduce file weight.
Know Bugs:
- When "editlooponly" is active, values changed with "setall $1" messagein Live.step object doesnt respect loop zone.
- Last saved preset does not boot automatically when you open a live set
- External Remote playback is linked to first voice and will stop when the first played note from a chord is released

Thanks ;-)
This is such a great device. Thank you so much.
Quick question. Is there any way to edit the live.step object so that the gold beat color is shifted to accommodate compound time signatures like 6/8?
In other words, right now the gold steps are every 4th which gets confusing with other time signatures not based on 4.
Also, is there any possible way to implement an export to clip button? Something that allows you to put the data on a clip already created in the track.
Thanks again!

Thank you for your message, such a long time I didn't updated this device, nice to see people still using it !!!
You can edit the grid marker with the message "marker_horizontal $1" connected to the live.grid's first inlet.
No export planning at this point. For me, the simplest way to obtain MIDI clips is to record directly in Live with another MIDI track who receive the datas from Arpege device...
Thanks again & bye bye
Thank you so much for you response! I'm having so much fun with this thing.
I sort of understand what you mean regarding how to change the grid. I can't seem to find the live.grid object. I'm a new so please forgive any stupid questions.
I've poked around a bit by right clicking and going to the help for each object taking me further into the device. I can get to the side by side live.step objects but have no idea where the live.grid is.
Any help would be great and thanks again for you hard work on this!

thank you for your excellent device!
do you know that ableton do not save Arpege's velocity parameters.
Is it not possible to play notes in arpeggiated order when holding several notes like a traditional arpeggiator? The notes just play at the same time...
It looks really great but if it lacks this feature I don't really see the purpose of it.
