7up 2.0.4 - MaxForLive version (now with autoconfigure)

Yay!!

[edit] temp link removed..site back up

server problems resolved. have at it - http://www.makingthenoise.com/sevenup/

BTW

THANK YOU!!!!!

I have it running right now and am playing with the step sequencer... this is what I have wanted since I first saw the monome! The only thing stopping me from ruling the universe at this exact moment is that I only have a 64...

Thank you again for the great work!

Guys, this is SO good!

I am working with mtn and barnone on making this fully compatible with nonome but it will work out of the box if you're delicate with stepper mode (all the dim pads are where the data overflow is) until then :-)

ohh are the startup sequences users submitted being projected on the floor in the background?

@emergencyofstate

yea man. 7up labs right there.

i. wanna. come. to. the. batcave.

and rawk.

I've been to the batcave (I think). It's kinda sweet. Go go mtn and bar|none!

man...i wish i had time/$ to dive in before xmas. why is it that i spend every xmas break with 7up? same thing happened last year...

mtn, you are my santa claus! and i guess that makes bar|none: a) an elf b) mrs. claus c) a reindeer.

we should have a vote on google wave!

okay...sry...i'm sleepzzz deprived...night sukkazzz!

no kidding, haha same boat here

who's gonna make the first user 7up device, hmmmm

I know what I'll be shooting for - 7up clip launcher with a mlr4live appoarch that gives you also enables you to toggle vinyl control for the clip in ms. pinky vinyl. day-dreaming @ work!!

@Emergency

I found an easy way to have multiple melodizers / over dub is to route the audio from your midi track to an audio track

You can then record your melodizer tracks with abletons built in quantization, loop it, and then route it to another track or turn off routing all together to jam over top

@making the noise.. (and sorry to everyone else for the spam, multiple trains of thought)

would it be possible to record the midi data being played by the melodizer / step sequencer...

You have 7 melodizer slots per melodizer, which means you can drag in 14 melodizer components and have them all playing different sounds or the same sound. Choose the appropriate "slot" from the pull down to focus it to that pattern.

You can even drop 2 or more into the same track on different slots to have 2 patterns associated with one sound. Basically an overdub using 2 patterns.

To record the midi (same with stepper), use 1 melodizer attached to the instrument you are playing and 1 dropped into a midi track by itself focused on the same "slot". You can now listen to the midi on the track that has the melodizer that has no instrument in it from another track and record it.

Remember that clip mode will trigger recording of slots if the track is set to record on launch. Bottom row stops the recording.

right now there's no way to change the overall hierarchy of the setup (mode 1 will always be Stepper, etc). But that's a natural progression of things with the modes being broken out into components. Definitely on the table but not there yet.

Was curious if you had considered making some of the 7up components stand alone so that they could work on a thisInstance basis similar to what Stretta is doing...

If this would not be possible due to the way the software is organized... would it perhaps be possible to set up the main 7up module this way.

Currently the way 7up is set up it is not possible to turn it on and off without losing all of the recorded data... I know that you can store stuff as patch's and presets and then reload them... it just does not seem very plausable in a live setting to do every time I want to jump between multiple applications.

Not at once, however there is a method of having multiple looper racks and dynamically switching them on the fly. It's probably going to take a video to show this, here are the basics.

1. Drag in 2 or more Loopers with associated racks.
2. Switch to "MASTER" mode and configure the loop settings on each one. After you are done, it would be wise to save the settings as a preset in case you screw up.
3. While playing you want to only have one Loopers power ON, the rest should be OFF. When a looper powers on in master mode it pushes all it's settings to the core. The core only uses 1 set of settings at one time.

To accomplish on the fly powering ON/OFF Loopers we create dummy clips on the looper tracks. The clips I name "Activate" "Deactivate", they map to the "SevenUpLooper/activate" automation parameter on each looper that is available from the "Clip automation" properties". This turns power on and off.

"Activate" clip should automate the power switch to ON, "Deactivate" to OFF.
NOTE: Seems the m4l has an issue (bug?) if you try to copy these clips to different tracks...bummer. You need to create them from scratch right now on each looper track.

4. Now create a scene using the dummy clips where scene launch triggers "Activate" on one looper, and "Deactivate" on the rest. Launching the scene will now switch racks and loop settings on the fly.

In the future I'm sure we or someone else will write a custom sample slicer component and maybe this will not be needed.

[edit] Need to use version 2.0.1 or greater for this to work.

holy shit, it took me an hour to get it up and running but this thing is amazing!!!

it´s like a dream came true, no hassle set up, instant recording, effects and everything, it´s oh so lovely ... thanks so much!



i hate to be the first but there´s a sync issue with the stepper, i think ... it´s exactly 1/16 in a bar to late, no matter what i do. i attached a pic where you can see it. it´s a straight 4 to floor beat, one kick and a hihat, presetsounds from the template.

cheers,
hr

i allready tried that, doesn´t help though. it´s always off the clicktrack.

Choose Keyboard/Position...to change modes, press the solid nav light twice while in Melodizer, the Keyboard will switch to a position bar "solid strip at bottom", then switch back again with another double tap of the solid nav light.

Using position bar, hold a chord in main melodizer area (try a piano or something polyphonic) and push different buttons in the bar. This transposes the chord by scale degree.

You can record a pattern and transpose it live as well. Turn "Transpose On" in melodizer settings. The numbers "Nope 1..7" in the settings are transpose groups, where patterns will transpose together in the same group". Great for monophonic lines as well.
