My AWESOME controller vision...for performance in the future

So Here's how I envision performing my electronic music for people.

All pieces are loaded in live...some Tracks (songs or tunes) are more planned out and static but some are more improvisational. As I move from one Track to the next the way i've envisioned performance is with all controls automagically appearing in front of me when they are needed and then poof! they're gone when i no longer need them and move on to the next part when the new controls load up ...and so on!

So the hard part is the Max4Live coding to get my Lemur automated to present me with the controls i need when i need them.

So i'm building a Lemur Loader in Max4live to be used for live performance. This device contains a single live.knob which has 128 increments. Each increment loads a container on your lemur with the .jzlib of your choice. The knob position is controlled by a "Clyphx" <SNAP CLIP> script triggered when the scene is launched. So each scene or tune can load the specific custom controls for that scene/tune/song...and delete/destroy it all when you move on. Pretty Snazzy HUH???

Please let me know your thoughts on this... am i over thinking this? is anyone else interested in the outcome? maybe i'll put together a video tutorial and post it on the sphincternet...

/me like.

Building some ClyphX support into my own stuff too, so I like the way you're going with this.

Hey, you'll know it's a good idea if you build it and we all steal it! :)

The Future is HERE! -> I got it working and i'm so excited!

Automated LemurLoader (bundled with Mu).

Launch a scene and all your custom controls needed for that scene (or track) automagically APPEAR.

Initially i was stealing parts from Mu but instead what i did was add my code (and Django's) to a
tweaked version of Mu with an extra "Loader" section that has 128 different "Loader Slots"...

youtube video coming soon...i'll post it here!

can you share your creation? does it use the lemur loader max external or is it independent of that?
