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.
Earlier this year, a generous man by the name of Mark Barrot paid us to make a Clip Launcher for the Lemur that is stable and works to his specifications.
The application is now available for free and it is open source.
The Clip Grid is limited to 60 Tracks by 40 Scenes. Clip names, Clip colors, Track names and Scene names are displayed. Clips that are playing are turned White. It doesn't do the flashing when triggered because the API doesn't do the flashing when triggered.
This application is a tool for Live Performers that want a quicker way to reset any parameter changes in their set.
When you're working on a big set that has a lot of parameters "MIDI Learned", its quite a considerable task to get all these values back to a preprogrammed state in one go. You could load the set again, but what about the changes you made and the clips you added? You just want to press a button to set the parameters to where they should be and save your set.
The BCR Performer application is something I wrote because the BCR2000 doesn't work like I want it to work.
Why?
Say you're using 2 BCR presets. One preset has its messages sending out on MIDI channel 1 and the second preset is sending out messages on MIDI Channel 2. You currently have preset 1 selected, this means that anything assigned to preset 2 won't receive any updates from Live.
So when you load a set, the BCR is only updated on 1 preset. And if you change MIDI Learned parameters that aren't currently displayed on the BCR, they won't be updated.
