Speed Control Max for Live Plugin: MIDI Keyboard – Looper Speed
Speed Control Max for Live Plugin
This Max for Live Plugin maps your MIDI keyboard/controller to the Speed dial of Ableton Live’s Looper enabling you to change the loop speed by semitones (from -36 to +36) with your MIDI keyboard or controller.
This allows you to to play melodies with your live loops, map KaiGen-M, MIDI randomizers, or other creative options.
Speed Control can also be hacked in Max to map and scale to other device parameters.
This is not a VST and requires Ableton Live Suite or a Max for Live license.
Instructions:
- Drop this device on a MIDI track
- Assign your MIDI controller to that same track using “MIDI From”
- Click “Map Dial”
- Go to the track with the Looper and wiggle the Speed dial.
- MIDI notes 24 through 96 now map to the speed dial.
- “C” at 60 puts the looper at original speed
- Or double click the dial to return it to original speed
- To stop mapping, click “Stop Map”
Special thank-you to Andre Lafosse for the question that led to this plugin, and he did a video with it!
Please note this is a Max for Live (M4L) plugin only for Ableton Live, not a VST, AAX, or AU.
Software is “Name Your Own Price.”
$0.0 is fine, but if you would like to contribute, any amount is appreciated. Thank you!
