Random Sample Picker v2

This max4live device uses javascript to access Live's file database to allow advanced filtering of files. For the results we create symbolic links to make them drag-n-dropable from Live's browser. All in all it is more a proof of concept than a really useful device. Strange that Ableton isn't implementing more browser features in view of the fact that all file meta data is stored in a sqlite database.   

 

 

Nocturn Live Api Device 0.7

As suggested on maxforlive.com, i reworked the resolution system of the encoders. And I'm very happy with it so far. It's now easy to make a full range left or right turn and at the same time use a much higher resolution if you turn slowly. It's a direct relationship between encoder turning speed and stepsize. Please report if this needs further finetuning.

Furthermore a usability boost of the device pages in form of a system to change and save the order of parameters of devices, 2 additional modes for snapshot fades, and a quick way to hotswap devices.

The Euclidean Algorithm

Another side-product of an upcoming device i want to share.

Meanwhile everybody knows this paper by Godfried Toussaint. I din't know there's an extended version. First time i heard about it was in this awesome maschinedrum talk by wesen, goto time 29:00.

It's easy to find good 3rd party externals to solve the task, but i felt challenged by doing it with basic max objects.

The first result was a highly inefficient patch. But now, after understanding the binary version of the algorithm a little bit better, i managed to create a much more efficient and simplified abstraction for Max.
