$100 (Venmo, PayPal) to the first person who can make me this simple m4l device
You drop the device on a MIDI track.
The device has 20 slots for track selection dropdown lists. It would be super great to have a B Preset side that would instantly double this to 40 tracks. But, beggars can't be choosers.
With these lists, you can select tracks that the device is about to operate on. Once the tracks are selected within the device, you should be able to add/remove/rename/rearrange tracks within the Ableton set without breaking the device's functionality (that means don't reference track numbers, because those will change)
The device will control the Arm/Disarm status of the tracks specified in the 20 tracklist dropdowns.
It must control the Arm/Disarm status via device envelopes. So, there should be at least 20 device envelopes; one for each of the track dropdowns. 0 = Disarm, 127 = Arm (numbers aren't important. It can be whatever as long as it's well defined)
NO TOGGLES. Toggles leave open the possibility for getting de-sync'd with later programming."Off" must be guaranteed "Disarm" and On must be guaranteed "Arm".
Device must be able to remember what tracks it has been told to manipulate. When I close my session, I don't want to see that the device has reverted back to default settings when I open the session back up.
I've spent the last 4 days looking for a device that would do all these things. I'm 90% sure there isn't one. They all have some game-breaking issue. I would learn Max, but I can't do that right now. I have a job to do and it isn't that. I just need something that does this, and I need it as soon as humanly possible. Paste the code in a comment. I'll go in first-come-first-serve order. I'll hit up the first person to make me say, "Thank God. Finally..." for their Venmo/Paypal info and payment will be immediate.
If you have a problem with that. Don't post.
Thanks, everybody. <3
I have a problem with this offer as it encourages multiple people to invest their time for you without any reward at the end. It's not a 5 min job and may need multiple iterations taking your feedback into account."If you have a problem with that. Don't post." You seem to suspect that some people have problems with this kind of offer. I won't let myself be banned from what I answer/post in this forum.
I don't like this idea either! I'm surprised that Cycling '74 even allow it! If you want somebody to write software for you then commission them directly to do it. I'll be surprised if you get anybody daft enough to do it this way.
This is an open forum designed for users to share ideas and problems and to help each other. You are not in control!
What is wrong you with weird, weird people.
People are on this forum all the time giving out their time and expertise for free. I want to pay someone for it and you're all up in arms because...reasons?
then commission them directly to do it.
What do you think I'm trying to do, you absolute fool.
Watch your language! The problem is the kind of competition you're trying to set up. Just ask for someone who is interessted and then stay with this person until the job is done.
I think I did watch my language.
I DO NOT KNOW WHO TO ASK. THAT IS WHY I POSTED IN A PUBLIC FORUM. TO ASK MANY PEOPLE, GENERICALLY. WHY IS THIS A DIFFICULT CONCEPT TO GRASP?
You are not in control!
Of what, exactly? My ability to offer to pay people for helping me out? The ability to write a post in a public forum? Of being OP in my own thread? Yes, I do think I am in control of those things. Here's a genius idea. I guess this may be beyond the comprehension of you two, but see if you can wrap your heads around it. Anyone wishing to participate can look through the comments. Has anyone taken advantage of this yet? Hmm. Doesn't look like it. I think I'll have a go! Here you go, guy. How's this? If someone new comes along, they can see someone's already working on it and decide whether or not to get involved. You know, "freedom."
I'm pretty sure these two comments above are exactly why the phrase, "Okay, Boomer" was created.
Man, forget it. I'll just do it myself. I'm already in a really stressful situation and this is just pissing me off more.
Everyone just forget about it.
Ok…so long….and thanks for all the fish!
did i miss anything?
This is the stupidest fucking thread I've ever been a part of in my life.
People sit in forums and help others for free all goddamn day and night across the world. You offer to pay anyone interested in giving up their time because you're in a serious spot and people fucking lose their shit.
I'm not interested in contracts or whatever the fuck. I have money and lack a skillset. Do you have a skillset and want money? Hit me up. It's just that goddamn simple. I cannot for the life of me what people have managed to get pissed off about. Especially as this is posted in the GODDAMN "JOBS" SECTION OF THIS FORUM.
I'm sorry. Next time I'll make sure I exploit people's time and attention FOR FREE just so I don't ruffle any feathers.
Un-fucking-believable
did i miss anything?
i was just missing my mum😭, so i ranted in a disassociated way for a bit😤🤸♂️🥱(🥸)
about how everyone should go hug their mum 🌻🌎 🌍 🌏❤️
(hello, my name is 'raja' and i am a 'recovering narcissist'🙋♂️(<-also looking a bit jaundiced these days 😇))
but then i called her to wish her well, and now i feel much better ☺️
there is no "jobs" section, those are tags, not forums.
but this... is quite misleading for new members who use the forum for the first time:
i like the menu a lot, but "forums" is now somehow less accessible than the "tags", isnt it? and you might even think it is the same.
Seems you just copy-pasted someone else's M4L device code, including their Copyright comment, from their device on Gumroad and didn't bother to mention that source in your previous (highly-related) post.
People sometimes release $0+ devices to drive traffic, not because they want their devices to be copied willy-nilly around the internet. That's the "not interested in contracts or whatever the fuck" part, then?
So shoutout to this guy, anyway: https://javiherreromusic.gumroad.com/l/DTPmM
was it a april fool's day thread ?
" Do you have a skillset and want money? Hit me up "
Yes, i have skillset, multiple even and i do want money...
Luvulongtime!
@Justin you seem to have a hard time to get the point of the first 2 replies. There's nothing wrong to offer jobs. I for myself was lucky in the past to do some payed Max work that was offered here in the forum. But how on earth do you think you can have a race for your ridiculous 100 bugs. How would people feel who started working on it but then found that someone else posted a little faster or the result only met 95% of your requirements. You just don't do it that way. My reply wasn't meant to be as offensive as your fucking answers might suggest.
I agree.
@Justin Let me suggest how your advert could have been written:
Dear Friends,
I am looking for somebody who is willing to write a M4L device for me. If you are good at coding and keen to earn a few $$$ in the process then please reply here. I am looking to collaborate with the keenest applicant.
The device will need to do the following... ... ...
That way people have a chance to discuss it with you first and THEN decide if they want to do it. Everybody else then knows that they have missed the boat.
Money doesn't buy everything on demand, you know? Sometimes it requires a bit of tact and diplomacy too.
So shoutout to this guy, anyway: https://javiherreromusic.gumroad.com/l/DTPmM

AHA!
We hath discovered the grand reveal of your Ursatz @Justin! Within deep realms of your lack of skill, you feel victimized by your own ignorance, and thus seek to exploit others with said skill in a gestalt of cheap hustles.
I do not like you, Justin Schenk, i do not like you at all! ...I bet your name isn't even "Justin Schenk", you're just trying to bring shame to the family name of 'Schenk'!
thusly runs my 'Schenkerian' analysis 😤😇
