- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- This is a demo of Hocket, a Max for Live MIDI device that helps you get that sweet hocketing effect you didn't know you were looking for. Send MIDI from from one channel out to up to 8 other channels, one note at a time. Available for free (or for a name-your-price donation to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund )
Pick one up here: gumroad.com/l/...
simple and well designed .
.....💪💥🔥💭❤💨🕊.......
second time today I've stumbled upon your channel with a very interesting Max For Live device... thanks! Liked, subscribed! Now I want more (;
Very. Very nice 👌
Probably one of the best M4L devices ever made! This is so psychedelic ;) thanks for creating ❤️🌏🙏🏾
multi-channel arp, nice! add a midi editor and you've got a gaaame chaaangaa
Just discovered this today in 2024 as version 2 - and it’s easily the best and most underrated m4l device. Can’t believe no one talks about it. Changes Ableton into modular sequencer. Absolutely brilliant
Richard, I’m experiencing some odd behavior using Hocket II. Rather than each note playing to its full length as in original Hocket, only the last note sent plays out. Each note is cutoff by the one following. Does this make sense? Is this behavior as intended? Thanks!
i’ll have to look into this. i made some changes to deal with stuck notes, which could be a problem with v1, maybe i can make a better solution, or i could probably make the changes switchable if folks want the legacy behavior back.
Wow!!!!
This is cool!
Holy crap dude this is so sick
🙂
Hot stuff rico, thank you!
Thank you, this is so great, so simple but what a supergood idea and a fun thing to do !
What a great device! I’ve been using this for awhile and love it. I only have one request- I think it would be even cooler if you can have more than one sender in a set. Maybe have ID numbers for the senders and receivers. Thanks again!
i was just working on that feature last weekend! you can expect it in a future update.
@@eatfrenzy Yay!
if you are interested in getting the new version you can send me an email - rico.devices@gmail.com - I could use some folks to test it for me...
Brilliant - just bought it & can't wait to play! Thank you also for sales supporting the NAACP!
thanks for your support ✌️
Very cool project.
I was wondering if I could do something similar by automating (or MAX LFOing) a chain selector in an instrument rack.
great lil technique!:) thank you!!!!
You are so welcome! I hope you find it useful!
so freakin' cool! can't wait to add this to my ableton template/workflow. thank you for sharing!!!!!
So simple; yet so nice...... Thanks for your hard work. :)
Amazing dude...so amazing.
thanks!
Simple idea with a great outcome, im heading over to grab mine. Thanks for making this device!
Sweet! This works while playing the midi live too I guess? I could use this to spread a melody to surround speakers around the audience
absolutely. i was just playing a loop in the video to keep it quick and simple, but there are lots of other possibilities.
in order to spread a melody out to different speakers you would either need: 1. an audio interface with multiple outputs, patching the output of multiple instruments to different outputs. (and a bunch of speakers obviously..) or 2. multiple hardware synths plugged into amplifiers.
@@eatfrenzy Sweet! Yeah I'm knowledgeable in how to do it, can't wait to try!
Wonderful idea ❤
@rico claws Hey Rich , is there any way for me to record the midi into these separate channels ? Everytime I try route it , it plays the full melody instead of the step. Also It appears that it doesn't always stop at the 1 mark and sometimes it'll start playing from he 3 or 4 , is there a reason for that ? Thank you for such a fantastic device and I hope you are able to answer my questions. Have a great weekend !
Hi, sorry for the delayed reply but here is how you do that: Hocket S. sends MIDI out, other channels receive the MIDI notes, then additional channels record the MIDI from those channels. Simply set the MIDI input on channels that are recording to the channels that are receiving the notes (ie. record from the channels with Hocket R. on them). As for your second question, the sequence play order just picks up where it left off. An easy way to reset it is to turn the number of channels down to 1 and then back to where you had it. Maybe I'll look into a counter reset kind of thing? Thanks!
Thank you for this idea. It's certainly cool as is, and might be even better if one could MIDI trigger the moment and channel to allocate instead (i don't know if this is technically feasible) !
I'm not totally sure what you meant by "MIDI triggering the moment".. but all controls on Hocket can easily be automated in Live, so you can map the number of channels to a knob on a MIDI controller for instance, or use automation lanes to switch the not direction or even switch the receive channels. Thanks for the feedback!
Brilliant
Thanks for creating this truly!!! This is amazing!
thanks! i’m glad you like it.
great job! Now if I could only find a decent Analog Shift Register for M4L too!
Thanks! A lot of people seem interested in that, so I might take a stab at it.
hey! I have a new version with an Analog Shift Register and i need some folks to test it out for me. if you are interested just send me an email - rico.devices@gmail.com
@@eatfrenzy will do so now, I'm excited!
Hey, first off thank you so much for making this. I literally wanted to learn Max in order to build something like this. I have no idea if you ever intended on upgrading it but I was wondering how complicated it would be to add a MIDI channel selector in order to be able to use multiple of these in a single session? I wish I could do it myself but I'm unfortunately very new to programming in Max.
That's a good idea and I think i could implement it. Hocket doesn't actually use MIDI channels to send note messages, all MIDI routing in Live is handled exclusively by Live, so note messages are sent via Send and Receive objects in Max. Anyway, I'll see if i can make this work... Glad you've been enjoying the device!
@@eatfrenzy Awesome, thank you so much! Let us know x
@@pascalchenard2686 hey! I have a new version and i need some folks to test it out for me. if you are interested just send me an email - rico.devices@gmail.com
@@eatfrenzy Wow. I completely missed out on that comment. I just saw you released a V2, thank you so so so much. This is life changing for me.
amazing!
Thanks!
My prayers have been answered!
i never imagined anyone out there praying for this.
@@eatfrenzy Just before I discovered this, I was about to buy a module that essentially accomplishes the same task as ur m4l device - the intellijel shifty, so thank you for saving me $ and space in my modular rack!
Any chance you want to tackle a Shift Register? I'm sure you're already familiar with them, but if not, it basically keeps outputs normal note information but also passes pitch values to consecutive outputs as new pitches are entered, bucket brigade style. It applies the current gate info to all of the outputs. If you made one, you'd have created a more capable Intellijel Shifty synth module in the box!
Quick question, but can't we just stop the plugin and add it back again to play the new pitch's added until he possibly does this update?
i’ve thought about this... it’s a good idea.
@@HAJJ101 not totally sure i understand what you mean by this.
@@eatfrenzy Does this plugin not update when we add new notes? I think that is what Dreams Yukon was talking about right? Or something else?
@@HAJJ101 dreams yukon was talking about an analog shift register, which tbh is kinda hard for me to explain lol. but it passes the pitch information sequentially to a number of instruments, so the instruments all play at the same time but they play different notes (unless you just play the same note over and over). Hocket on the other hand, plays one note at a time.
Love this! Thank you! What library is that from spitfire labs? I love that instrument.. almost sounds like a koto or a kyoto harp.
i think it was the hand bells 🔔 LABS instrument maybe? glad you’re into it.
