Advanced Toolbar Buttons by KILLIHU

Major workflow improvement!

The Advanced Toolbar Buttons MaxforLive Device adds new buttons/controls and new features to work with Ableton Live.

It consists of a button bar with a transparent background, where different button configurations can be created. The button bar can be positioned anywhere on the screen.

Main features:

Adjustment of clip parameters without having to open the clip detail view, such as volume, transposition, groove selection and others.
New mode to capture and insert scene.
Global activation and deactivation of tracks.
Alternative way to move loop markers in the arrangement.
Automatic reset of overwritten automation when starting or stopping transport.
Automatic unfolding of the track selected in the arrangement and folding the other tracks.
Track colors to clips for all tracks in the project.
Volume, Pan and Send controls for the selected track.
Session view clip duplication and triggering of the new duplicate clip.
Switch between different Live color themes without opening the preferences window.
One-button access to various Live actions that are only available in context menus.
Creation of presets with different layouts that can be loaded using key mapping.
Button/control size adjustment to fit any screen resolution.
Supports multi-monitor setups.
Does not interfere with Live’s undo history.
Matches Live’s color theme.

PLEASE NOTE:

Some features do not work in all versions of Live.

The MIDI note transpose and clip groove selection functions do not work in Live 10.
The button to expand the clip editing view does not work in Live 10.
The freeze track button only works in Live 12.
Live’s color theme change feature only works if the OS zoom is at 100%. That is, the zoom level set in Windows options, not in Live preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to map the buttons/controls via MIDI or keyboard like in other Live plugins?

It would be possible to do it but it would dirty the undo history. It is a limitation of Max for Live that currently has no solution.

Is it possible to change the volume of multiple selected audio clips?

Max for Live does not allow changes to multiple selected clips. Hopefully this will change in the future.

When loading a saved project the buttons/controls are not shown in the correct position, although the position values are correct in the plugin rack.

If you are entering the position coordinates numerically (by typing the numbers and pressing enter) it sometimes has to be done twice for the plugin to save the value. Instead, if you click on the position control (X or Y) and use the arrow keys on your computer keyboard to set the position, the value is saved correctly.

Buttons/controls do not change position when moving Live’s window.

The position of the buttons/controls is relative to the screen, not to the Live window. As with other windowed plugins, such as VSTs, the plugin’s buttons/controls are floating windows that belong to another program and therefore their position is not tied to Live.

Button controls are displayed on top of other applications.

The device is a floating Max window with the option to show on top. Due to Max’s architecture, it is displayed on top of other applications. Hopefully this will change in future versions of Max.

CHANGELOG

v2.0 Mac development stopped:

Due to differences in how Max transparent windows works on Windows OS and Mac OS, the device’s new features do not work on Mac OS. This, added to the button positioning problems of version 1.0 in recent versions of Mac OS, makes the development of new versions of the device for this operating system not possible (at least for now). Version 1.0 will continue to be available for download for existing users. Instructions for configuring version 1.0 of the device on Mac computers that have problems have been added to the PDF manual.

v2.0 New features and improvements:

New button positioning system that makes it easier to configure the device.
It is now possible to show/hide all buttons at the same time using a button on the device rack that is mappable, or through a new floating button.
It is now possible to save device presets to create different layouts, and load them using key mapping.
It is now possible to set negative values when positioning the button bar. To easily move the button bar in multi-monitor setups.
Clicking buttons now returns the focus to the Live window. Except for input boxes such as Clip Gain and others similar.
The transpose control in cents for audio clips now works the same way as in the clip editing view.
The clip loop button now also works on MIDI clips.
Added function to automatically reset overwritten automation when starting or stopping transport.
Added function to automatically unfold the selected track in the arrangement view and fold the other tracks in the project (beta, read the manual).
Added button to apply track colors to all clips. It can be applied individually or to all tracks in the project.
Added buttons to switch between two Live color themes without having to open the Live preferences window.
Added buttons to transpose all notes in a MIDI clip in semitones.
Added more track send controls.
Added button to duplicate the selected clip in the session view and automatically trigger the new duplicate clip.
Added button that duplicates the loop of the selected MIDI clip.
Added button to delete all envelopes of the selected clip (with limitations, read the manual).
Added button to freeze the selected track (only for Live 12).
Added button to fold/unfold all tracks in arrangement view.
Added button to expand the clip editing view.
Added button to insert an empty MIDI clip into the time selection of the arrangement view.
Added button to open the audio/video export window.
Added button to export the selected MIDI clip.
Added File menu buttons (New, Open, Save, Save As).
Added Edit menu buttons (Cut, Copy, Paste, Duplicate, Split, Consolidate).
Compatibility with the Fancy Menu Bar device. When using the two devices together, the Fancy Menu Bar hiding/displaying system will also act on Advanced Toolbar Buttons. The same applies to Live’s color theme change buttons on both devices.
Now when you click on the device rack icon, in addition to showing the device version, it checks if an update is available. If there is, a message is displayed indicating it.
The device has been split into two devices. One for the main bar and another that is only visible in the arrangement view.
Updated PDF Manual.

v2.0 Bugfixes:

Fixed bug that when Live’s Zoom Display is set to anything other than 100%, the Clip Loop Switch and Clip Warping buttons sometimes display a graphical glitch when no audio clips are selected.

v1.0 – Initial release
