ClyphX Pro by nativeKONTROL

ADVANCED ABLETON LIVE CONTROL

ClyphX Pro is a deceptively simple scripting language for music producers and performers who use Ableton Live 12 that allows for easy control and manipulation of virtually every aspect of a Live Set in highly useful and interesting ways.

With ClyphX Pro, you can easily:

  • Control virtually every aspect of your Live Sets using simple words or phrases (called Actions).
  • Trigger Actions in ways that suit your workflow – from Session View Clips, Arrangement View Locators, MIDI Controllers or MaxforLive Devices.
  • Store and recall Snapshots of Tracks, Devices or your entire Set.
  • Automate Scale Settings and other features of Push/Push 2 and Arsenal-powered Control Surface scripts.
  • Extend the functionality of other Control Surface scripts.

X-Clips are just one of the ways of triggeringactions via ClyphX Pro. You simply name a clip and launch it to trigger its actions. They're simple to create and follow a robust& simple to understand pattern
clyphx pro by nativekontrol
Here we see examples of controlling parameters via specific values or releative adjustments, when ramping between values you can choose between beats of Milliseconds
In addition to X-Clips we have X-Locators which will trigger actions when the playhead passes them in Arrangement View
clyphx pro by nativekontrol
The two listed above are snap actions so will recall states of parameters when the playhead passes them
Snap Actions are one of the most powerful features of ClyphX Pro, it isn't just the storing and recall of parameters, you can morph between them as well
clyphx pro by nativekontrol
You can store snapshots within your set & recall them on the fly, with the ramping option you can morph between snaps in beats or MS
Part of Clyph Pro is Macrobat (Macro + Acrobat = Acrobat) you can then use these to map to any parameter. The difference to standard macros is what you can control by MAcrobat Macros doesn't have to be contained within the rack
clyphx pro by nativekontrol
The above rack is focused on a Drum Rack & looks after the Pan, Volume and Send of the Chains within the rack. Imagien controlling this set of three rack with the Ableton Push, they take seconds to set up and will save you hours in workflow!
Combine Snap Actions with Macrobat & you can dial in the morph between snaps by hand!
clyphx pro by nativekontrol
Which as this is done by Macro's can be saved as automation within your track
With MaxforLive we've extended the available trigger options to be able to trigger by MIDI notes
clyphx pro by nativekontrol
The drum rack shown here simply has its actions listed as the names of each Drum cell, these can be ClyphX Pro Macros as well...
You can target Track Actions by name, number, letter for return tracks or MST for the Main track
clyphx pro by nativekontrol
& you can apply actions to the selected track or relative to the selected track left or right
Track Actions can also be applied to a span of tracks or to all tracks
clyphx pro by nativekontrol
Using the broken and variety options you can even set a particular setof tracks to apply the actions to...
Working with Devices is the same. You can target the selected device or target devices by name or number
clyphx pro by nativekontrol
The options for a range of devices is consistent. All or a span or a chosen set of devices defined by name & / or number
Here we see a Drum Rack group, it then makes sense that you'd be able to target your chosen actions to chains
clyphx pro by nativekontrol
With all of the previous options, the depth of ClyphX Pro is impressive!
Macrobat also provides for some automap magic too! Here the four macros are automatically mapped to the Drum Rack
clyphx pro by nativekontrol
Changing the name of the [vol] macro to [vol 0db] will limit the volume to zero decibels. How easy is that?
This Macrobat rack is part of the extra goodies lesson. Its core purpose is to allow you to DJ with the Ableton Push. This is a Dj Rack that is controlled by the Macrobat Rack to the left. This grouped rack is then placed in each of 8 Tracks
clyphx pro by nativekontrol
Selecting the Main Track in the Live set then presents you with the choice of 8 reciever MAcrobat racks to choose from. Each one will give you controil of one of the effects across all 8 tracks at the same time!
And finally in addition to the core trigger types its also possible to trigger actions from MaxforLive Devices. Included within the lessons is this example device that can easily be edited to include it's contents within your own devices.
clyphx pro by nativekontrol
The text area allows you to type in any action you want and clicking on the trigger button will perform what you've typed!

Phrases like game changing get thrown around like confetti at a wedding but it's not often the phrase is genuinely deserved but thanks to ClythX Pro (and the great Youtube tuition vids) it's two days in and I am already getting functionality out of Live that I have always wanted but was starting to despair of Ableton implementing so huge thanks to the ClythX team for making something that is going to make possible so many workflow and creativity hacks that I thought would only be dreams. Awesome, and game changing, tool.

ClyphX Pro is hands down one of the most powerful tools I've added to my Ableton Live setup. What seems like a simple scripting language quickly opens up into a deep and flexible control system. From launching clips to automating effects chains, creating macros, and even controlling Push or custom setups – this tool can do almost anything.

ClyphX Pro is a great tool for performing with Ableton Live. It opens up new possibilities for using my discontinued Novation SL MK2, without needing to learn Python. It’s also really powerful for automating or randomizing parameters. I’m still learning what more I can do with it, and every new thing I discover opens up even new possibilities for my performances.

Our Products are generally provided as Zip file downloads which in all cases will need to be extracted and saved to your hard drive prior to installation. Details on the different file type provided and what to do with them are below.

.alp Files – These are Ableton Live Packs and will either install directly into the Packs Section of the browser of Ableton Live or ask you to save them to your hard drive. For packs that install to the library, when you double click on them you will see a pop up window asking you to confirm that installation is ok as the files are described as “Legacy”. This is fine and you are ok to proceed, the packs are created using the format for an earlier version of Live and so remain compatible with the current version.

Control Surface Scripts – Please refer directly to the supplied user manual for installation instructions, due to the changes in the Python language used by Live across versions of 10, 11, 12 and 12.1 you will need to ensure you have installed to the correct location and used the correct files as instructed and supplied.
