Looking to hire max4live expert
I am trying to build a max4live device to easily switch between multiple VSTs with a macro switch with lots of other functionality. There is no quick way to do this native in ableton.
Here is the full run down of what i am looking for:
Objective: Develop a Max for Live device to streamline the organization and real-time selection of numerous presets (e.g., 50+ presets per instrument group) using a simple MIDI-assignable knob or button. This device will significantly enhance live performance usability and efficiency when navigating through extensive VST preset collections.
Key Functionalities:
- Drag-and-Drop Preset Management:
- Allow users to easily drag and drop presets from various VST plugins (Kontakt, Omnisphere, Serum, etc.) into a dedicated browser within the Max for Live device.
- Support multiple plugin types and formats seamlessly.
- Automatically uses chain selector or something similar to automatically turn off all unused VST's
- Flexible Preset Arrangement:
- Enable intuitive rearrangement of presets within the browser, ensuring easy organization according to user preferences or performance requirements.
- Automatically update preset sequence when presets are reordered, maintaining the correct operational and MIDI-trigger order.
- Macro Control Integration:
- Feature a single MIDI-assignable macro knob or button to cycle through the arranged presets quickly and accurately.
- Provide clear visual feedback on the current preset selection.
- Preset Name Display Window:
- Output a dedicated, toggleable window displaying the currently selected preset name clearly.
- Allow users to save the display window position to a specific region of the screen for convenience.
- Scalability and Expansion:
- Initially support preset groups for common instrument categories such as bass, strings, horns, and more.
- Accommodate extensive preset libraries (50+ presets per category) with seamless performance.
- Allow incremental expansion, enabling users to start with fewer presets and continually add more presets from new VSTs over time without losing previous organizational structures.
Practical Example:
- A user adds 5 Kontakt patches, 5 Serum patches, and 5 Omnisphere patches to the device.
- The user rearranges the patches according to preference (e.g., Kontakt first, then Serum, then Omnisphere).
- The macro knob automatically updates to reflect this new order, enabling seamless cycling through presets in the user's custom sequence.
- When the user selects preset number 33 (e.g., "Grand Piano"), the toggleable window displays "Grand Piano," clearly showing the active preset selection.
This Max for Live device aims to simplify preset management, minimize setup time, and enhance real-time musical creativity and performance flexibility.
