Audio Pulse Link Sync
This is a Max patch that connects to an Ableton Link network, and generates pulses suitable for a Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator PO-12 or other similar sync scenarios.
Download the Max patch here: http://milkcrate.com.au/_other/downloads/max_patches/Link_to_Pulse_Tick.maxpat
The patch requires Max - download here https://cycling74.com/products/max/ - which can be run in demo mode as a version of runtime. The patch requires the Max Ableton Link package, which can be installed via the package manager in Max.
The pulses are output via an audio interface. In this case, the audio interface that is used is a $2 - with free shipping - USB sound card.
To use the patch:
- Make sure that the laptop and any Link devices are on the same network
- Launch Max go to Options and Audio Status..., set the audio output device to the audio interface and turn the audio engine on
- Connect the output of the audio interface to the PO-12
- Launch the Link to Pulse Tick patch, and set quantum to 4 and subdivisions to 2
- Set the PO-12 to SY2 - sync input, stereo output - by pressing funct and bpm
- Press play on the PO-12 - the PO-12 will wait for a sync signal
- Enable to the output of the sync patch by turning the toggle on
- At the start of the next quantum - bar - , the patch will start sending a sync signal to the PO-12, the PO-12 will play in time with Link
- Changing the tempo in the patch will update all other Link devices on the network and vice versa

iPad Microtonal Multitouch with Two Areas
A microtonal mulittouch iPad Mira patch for Max for Live, this time with two touch areas. Each area supports up to 8 fingers. Each finger sends a centre pitch, and then an offset above or below that pitch using a 14 bit pitch bend value. Download here: http://milkcrate.com.au/_other/downloads/M4L/little-scale.Mira.TouchBend.Double.amxd
The data is received within the chain of a nested instrument rack. The data is received using a device called Touch.return. Fingers 1 - 8 in the upper touch area are received using Touch.return pathways 9 - 16, whilst finger 1 - 8 on the lower touch area are received using Touch.return pathways 1 - 8. This device can be downloaded here: http://milkcrate.com.au/_other/downloads/M4L/little-scale.Touch.return.amxd
A session with a MIDI track with a nested instrument rack setup, with multiple copies of the instrument, is recommended for this to work correctly.

Multitouch Microtonal Control for Ableton Live via iPad
A patch that generates note on / note off for touching the surface, and high resolution pitchbend data for each finger. Data is routed via the PathMIDI.receive device. Download this Max for Live device here: http://milkcrate.com.au/_other/downloads/M4L/little-scale.Mira.TouchBend.amxd
An example session featuring these devices can be downloaded here: http://milkcrate.com.au/_other/downloads/M4L/Multitouch%20Microtonal%20Sampler%20iPad.alp%202.zip
iPad as Ableton MIDI Controller with Polyphonic Pitch Bend and Modulation
Overview
This is a Max for Live device that uses Mira so that an iPad is used as a MIDI controller for Ableton Live.
This supports pitch bend and modulation for each finger independently, as well as note on / off events with velocity control.
Download here: http://milkcrate.com.au/_other/downloads/M4L/little-scale.Mira.TouchNotes.amxd
Basic Use
Basic use includes:
• The X-axis represents pitch
• The Y-axis represents velocity
• Touch to play a note, release to stop playing a note
• Up to 8 notes can be played at once
• The octave dial sets the range in octaves of the X-axis
• The offset dial sets the pitch offset, and represents the lowest note of the X-axis
Basic setup:
• Use a MIDI track with an Instrument on it
• Add the little-scale.Mira.TouchNotes device before the instrument
• Make sure that the computer and the iPad are on the same network
• Alternatively, connect the computer to the iPad via a USB cable
• Launch Mira, and select the computer under the Max Server settings
• The Mira Frame will load
• Below is a basic setup video
Download an example session for the basic setup here: http://milkcrate.com.au/_other/downloads/M4L/Mira%20TouchNotes%20Basic.alp.zip
Advanced
Advanced use includes:
• All of the basic use features, plus
• Pitch bend is sent for every finger as a horizontal delta value. Each finger is independent.
• The starting point of a touch represents a pitch bend of zero. Moving left and right will increase / decrease the pitch bend
• Modulation control is sent for every finger as a vertical delta value. Each finger is independent.
• The starting point of a touch represents a pitch bend of zero. Moving up or down away from the initial touch point will increase the modulation amount. Moving up or down back towards the initial touch point will decrease the modulation amount.
Advanced setup:
• As pitch bend and modulation data is normally on a per-channel basis (as opposed to a per-note basis), setup is more complicated
• Add the little-scale.Mira.TouchNotes device to a blank MID track. Set Send Via PathMIDI to On.
• Make sure that the computer and the iPad are on the same network
• Alternatively, connect the computer to the iPad via a USB cable
• Launch Mira, and select the computer under the Max Server settings
• The Mira Frame will load
• Create a second MIDI track, and add a Instrument Rack
• Populate the Instrument Rack with a synth or sampler
• Place a PathMIDI.receive device before the synth or sampler. Set the MIDI from Menu to PathMIDI1
• Map any macro controls that require mapping, if necessary
• Duplicate the Instrument Rack chain, so that there is one instance of the synth or sampler as well as one instance of the PathMIDI.receive device per finger / note to be played
• Set the MIDI from menu for Instrument Rack chains 2 - 8 to PathMIDI 2 - PathMIDI 8.
• Each finger will now have an independent synth with the same settings and independent pitch bend and modulation control settings
