Hi everyone !

I just released my new Maxforlive device “Time +” !
https://arfal.gumroad.com/l/timeplus

I hope you’ll find it useful !



Here is the description:

"Time +" allows you to display the current playhead position (hours:minutes:seconds:milliseconds/frames) in real time, all the time.


I made this device because I think it should be native in Live...

You'll also find "Auto tempo", a feature particularly handy for sound designers, it sets automatically the tempo of your session to make it synchronized with your video, depending on its number of frames. It indicates you the grid value of 1 frame.


To set it up, all you have to do is to load the "Time +" device on the track of choice, open the floating window and configure his position (it was originally designed to fit next to the bars:beats:sixteenth counter). Once it’s done you can save it in a template, or as a preset, to avoid doing these steps the next time you'll start a new session.


Here is a list of the Time + features:

• Floating window: zoomable, integrable in the Live environment,
  
  
  
• 5 presets slots to save and load user settings (mappable for recall),
  
  
  
• Custom 0 position: manual (bars:beats:sixteenth) or determined by the current position of the playhead (viewfinder icon),
  
  
  
• Color picker: Since I didn't find (does it even exists ?) the right way to autocolor the background of the floating window, you'll have to drag and drop the palette icon on the color of your choice,
  
  
  
• Milliseconds / Frames modes,
  
  
  
• Number of frames selector:
  - 23.976 (film; HDV w/ NTSC comp)
  - 24 (film; HDV)
  - 25 (PAL; HDV)
  - 29.97 (NTSC; HDV)
  - 30 (HDV; B&W NTSC)
  - 50 (PAL; HDV)
  - 59.94 (HDV w/ NTSC comp)
  - 60 (HDV)
  
  All the followings are there for a preventive reason but you shouldn't be able to use them for now:
  - 120
  - 200
  - 240
  - 300
  - 960
  - 1000
  
  
  
• "Auto Tempo" : a feature particularly handy for sound designers, it sets automatically the tempo of your session to make it synchronized with your video, depending on its number of frames,
  
  
  
• Grid value for 1 frame (when "Auto Tempo" is activated),
  
  
  
• Push2 optimized.
  
  

In your downloaded Time + 1.00.zip file you’ll find:

• Time +.amxd
  
  
  
• A folder called « Package (Live 11 ONLY) ». Inside this folder you’ll find a video file !!! Installation !!! and a package ARFAL - Time +. This package permits to integrate "Time +" in the “Audio Effects” section , in the “Utilities” folder. This is experimental so PLEASE follow carefully the “!!! Installation !!!” video and install at your own risk !
