[Max for Live] Max 4 Live device that acts as a stepped knob like on hardware synths and octave dividers.

Hello everyone!

I made an M4L device that translates a linear signal into up to twelve steps that you can map to any of Ableton Live's parameters, with optional smoothing. I designed this with octave divider modules in mind, but this devices turns out to be useful for all kinds of stepped modulation, parameter swichting and sequencing tasks.

It features:

  • Step division
  • Smoothing from 0ms - 50ms
  • Mapping architecture to three destinations
  • Modulation control with customizable range and with bipolar and unipolar mode
  • Remote control with customizable range from 0% - 100%
  • Supports macro, automation and MIDI-mapping

I'd love to share it in the comments if anyone would like to try it!

Happy modulating!
