What about clip gain, transpose, un/warp, change warp mode and much more directly from the clip in the timeline? Or with shortcuts? Or from a smartphone/tablet?

Sure! Simply use this device, ClipGain, oh yeah! MaxForLive is your friend, as always.

Let's Oversampled demonstrate it (with an older version):


Just select the clip you want to adjust, press the key/midi you've mapped to the device, and a nice little window will pop-up right next to your mouse... that's the little pop-up window you're going to love. And it works in both Arrangement and Session view.

  • floating window to control the selected clip's gain, pitch, warp settings, clip launch mode and launch settings (quantization, legato), clip's ram mode, clip un/mute, in Arrangement timeline/Session view over the clip, right under your mouse's location, without the need to reach for the detailed clip view.
  • shortcuts to quickly add/remove a user-defined amount of dB and semitones to the selected clip.
  • select individual Warp modes with key/midi shortcuts.
  • shortcut to un/warp the selected clip
  • shortcut to crop the in the clip editor
  • shortcut to Duplicate the midi clip's length
  • can be controlled from a smartphone/tablet

HOW TO: place the device anywhere (I recommend to place it on your Master track and then save as template), key/midi map the single button. That's it. The device controls the currently selected clip.


You can check the User Guide here.

It's 3€, but you can give more if you feel like it deserves it.

Live 9 minimum (it should work with L8, but I didn't test) and a MaxForLive license is required.


Release notes:

v2.2:

- fixes an Undo issue


v2.1:

- floating window opening optimization

- Few colors tweaks to ensure compatibility with L12 Themes


v2.0:

- New GUI, thanks to ELPHNT, the one and only.

- Crop can crop audio clips too (as of L11.3.20)

- Added clip's Launch mode, Launch Legato, launch quantization, RAM mode, clip mute,  duplicate midi clip length.

- Everything has been collected into a single floating window

- Fixed the Rex/Pro warp mode selection bug

- Mira support. The device can now be controlled from any smartphone/tablet or even a browser on your computer

v1.7:

- New key/midi mappable shortcuts to select individual Warp Modes


v1.6:

- It wasn’t possible to select the ComplexPro Warp mode


v1.5:

- new "quick edit shortcuts" : key/midi mappable buttons used to increment/decrement the clip's gain/pitch by the chosen amount.

(The increment/decrement gain value isn't exact with the Clip Gain's values below 0dB. For example a 1dB decrement below 0dB will not results in -1dB but in -1.18dB. That's because of the weird and non-linear curve Live is using to scale the clip's gain. I might fix this later on, or maybe Ableton will do it quicker than me. In any case, that really isn't a big deal, sound-wise.)


v1.4:

- reduced CPU usage by stoping mouse position tracking when floating window isn't displayed.

- warp mode selector was blocking Live's Undo history. It's also now shown as inactive (and can't be tweaked) when the selected clip is not warped.

- new "warp" button to un/warp from the Pitch window (for mouse only i.e not mappable)


v1.3:

- you can now change the Warp Mode (in the Pitch window). Audio clip only.
- new CROP button: can now crop midi clips (only)


v1.2.2:

- double click the gain fader now resets it to 0dB.

- you can't midi map the clip gain/transpose anymore. This removes the extra undo steps created by this device (and it's anyway better to midi map these directly from within Live).

- the un/warp button was blocking Live's undo history.

- some patch clean up (you might need to remap the buttons, sorry…)


v1.2.1:
- stretching a warped clip from Arrangement was slown down because of ClipGain.

- made sure pressing "WARP" doesn't do anything when no clip is selected


v1.2:

- Gain and Pitch can now be opened together with a single shortcut

- new WARP button that un/warps the selected clip

- after a clip was unselected by clicking in an empty area, moving the fader/knob would still change the last clip's values. This is now fixed.

- colour tweaks


v1.1:

- added new Pitch window for audio clip transposition

- gain and transpose are always observed so you don't need to close and re-open the windows for the values to be updated. It also means that you can keep the windows open all the time if you want.
