Clip Mapper is a M4L Device that allows the user to assign 16 parameters to a clip and recall those parameters when an assigned clip is triggered.
The 8 knobs and 8 buttons on this device can be controlled using MIDI Learn or Automap. The knobs and buttons can be assigned to any device on any track. You could for example have all your bass control parameters assigned to Clip 2 on Track 2 and all your beat control parameters assigned to Clip 1 on Track 1. By triggering either of those clips, the chosen parameters will be available to control with the Clip Mapper Device.
This allows you to free up many knobs and buttons on your physical controllers. And you don't need to memorize how to recall the correct controller presets during a live situation.
The device is free and may be edited, shared, improved, dismantled or destroyed.
You are not allowed to re-sell the device or re-release it under an identical name. Linking must be done to this page and not to the files, as the files and this page will be updated for each new version. Currently it comes as 2 versions. One for MIDI Tracks and one for audio tracks.
- The device only works with 64 Tracks and 1000 scenes. This isn't a fixed limit, expanding the Track limit involves nothing more than a bit of copying and pasting and changing some numbers.
- Moving the Clip Mapper after mapping clips to it may not work properly. If you lose your data, place it back where it originally was or reload the set.
This hopefully solves one of my main problems related to mapping all 16 knobs on my APC using a single button press. Can you confirm if this is possible - i.e. i want to be able to press the pan button on the APC and have that automatically map all 16 knobs on my controller. It looks like your patch supports only 8 rotary controls per instance, or can it support 16 knobs? If not, can I use two of these things in parrallel?
It is possible to use multiple of these devices in a Live set to support more knobs and buttons.
I'm not sure what the pan button on the APC this, but this device is designed to work with clips. Its contents can be modified to do other things though.
this looks great but the select device dropbox is dead for me,i cant choose anything here.an example.i have operator in my set but select device wont open up to show this.
The clips don't store the data automatically.
With the version you currently have, you have to create an external text file. And once created, you can read its contents and check if it updates when you add clips and parameters.
Yeah, I realized some issues might pop up and that change will be made. So I refrained from making a video that in the end will cause more confusion than it clears things up.
For example, the next version will not need these text files. That being said, it should work with the provided instructions. But I understand the written form doesn't work for everybody. I have a whole section on this site devoted to that fact.
I'm a little swamped this week, but as soon as the new year hits I'll have the time to polish this thing up.
A lot of the work I did for this will be useful for other similar types of devices. Like storing value snapshots and stuff like that. So you'll definitely hear a lot more from this project in the near future.
I'm looking for a way to send increments of 1 bpm to change the clip tempo. any advice?
I was thinking the process would be
- warp
- consolidate
- set first warp marker
- map parameter to the warp marker bpm
Here's my dilemma:
'm looking for a more elegant way to switch up the tempo on a clip playing through Ms. Pinky. The problem is when I adjust the pitch on the turntable to beatmatch to some live audio, and then switch from vinyl control to the original clip the tempo doesn't follow the pitch on the table.
Or maybe have the clip tempo just follow the main tempo.
How Can I map with APC40 + clip mapper VST instruments? I want to play with APC clips - clips in Groove agent and Darbuka. When I want to select VST, only options is clip mapper 0.8.?? I`m new-green with APC.
The save function does not work for me...i have Win 7 64-bit, Live 8.1.1, Max 5.1.3 and this amazing Clip Mapper 0.9.6, every time i load a saved project Live got crashed??
I have tryed in Windows XP and same results...every time i load my saved project...Live got crashed.
Only thing is that i have Max 5.1.3 demo/trial version...could that be the problem?
About that Max demo/trial...
Now i have full version of Max for Live 5.1.3 and latest Live beta.
I have lot of other patches from web that are working great! Even the save function is working in each one of them! The only problem is Clip Mapper, it always crash my Live when i try to Save or Load project or Save Max/Clip Mapper?? I have tried every version of Clip Mapper and even on other PC's. But it allways finished crashed??
Regardless to that Clip Mapper is one of the best patches and really great idea!
I'm not sure if I can help you here. Live crashing is definitely Ableton's department. I'd help if I could, but as this is the first I hear of it. I'm not sure what exactly the problem is and if my patch has anything to do with it.
Please send your crash packs to beta@ableton.com , they will hopefully make sure it won't crash in the future.
Is wanted to use at in audio effect chain.
is it possible to get acces of the parameters of the devices in the chain? i mean not only the eight macro controls? that would be great for my setup
