Hi guys, I've been developing M4L devices and hardware for some time and wanted to introduce myself to the community with this free device. It's relatively simple, but super useful. Here's what it does.

Say I've got a SPDX, or some kind of midi controller that just puts out a fixed set of midi messages (C1-C2 or something). I want to use this device for an entire set of music, and use another midi controller or keyboard to switch songs. Typically, I would do this with chains, where each chain would have a different drum rack containing all the sounds I want for a different song. This is great, but if I want some of those sounds to loop, or have follow actions, or any of that cool shit that Ableton clips do, I'm SOL. 

This devices solves that problem by mapping a fixed set of midi notes to Ableton clips. Each chain can have a unique clip slot that it triggers. This means that you can send a note (say C1) and it will trigger clip slot 0, then change chains, send C1, and then trigger clips slot 1. Yay! Song changed & you can use clips

Here is the thing & a little youtube instructional video.

Also, if anyone has any problems getting the .js code to show up, here's the raw code:
