Macro knob to morph across mixer snapshots?
Is there any plugin or Mozaic script or the like which can help me map a macro knob to several destinations, such that turning it morphs across several scenes?
The idea is similar to Turnado or Transit except instead of effecting audio, it would send midi CCs or it would change the volume levels of multiple channels of audio. Similar to program changing, but with smooth transitions between the scenes.
I know apeMatrix has the morph pad which allows this for morphing between 2-4 states and Drambo has morph for A/B but I’m looking for example morphing scene A to B for the first 1/4 of a knob turn and then morphing B to C for the remaining 3/4, for instance.
Perhaps similar to this Max4Live device http://maxforlive.com/library/device/4502/multimap-pro
I might just need to build this with AudioKit…

Thanks, I might be able to use apeMatrix as an auv3 to do this...
Meanwhile I'm learning AudioKit (I'm an iOS developer already) and designing a simple Turnado-like UI to have one knob that can crossfade between multiple pairs of audio channel inputs, with different start/end points per channel.
You can easily do this in Mozaic or StreamByter, generating CCs to control different AUM faders. You can route each instrument (or preset) to a different AUM bus, then crossfade between those busses.
I realized I can map start/end MIDI and crossfade busses in AUM but because I want to control these start/end points creatively and even be able to have tracks fade in/out for a variable range of CC values before/after the crossfade, I'd better unify this into one control surface instead of having settings across different modal menus...
BTW I've found that ChatGPT can write AudioKit AUv3 plugins with SwiftUI quite well which helps defeat the steep learning curve.
Would 4pockets MidiMixer work?
I think it only has buttons that morph to another scene instead of a Turnado like slider to stop midway between scenes
Have a look at 4pockets AudioScope.
Thanks but I believe it behaves the same - you can toggle to different scenes, and it has a preset transition from A to B instead of letting you control a slider to morph between scenes. For example this makes it impossible to stop halfway between scenes.
This is the UI I need to recreate, except for 16 channel in/out mixer levels. Seems simpler to use if it's a multi-channel audio effect instead of a MIDI automator. I've researched how to do it and it seems straightforward using SwiftUI and AudioKit.
Transit works similarly but like Turnado it's only appropriate for audio effects, not performance-mixing.
Would this be useful to others?
This mozaic script seems like it could provide what you need.

Thank you wim, love your scripts. However this looks like it toggles scenes, rather than allowing a continuous morph between scenes.
The XY pad morphs between one to four scene "snapshots" saved to the pads to the eft of it.
TBH it's been a long time since I looked at that one. I forget how you set which snapshots are in the four pads next to the XY Pad. I know it does that somehow though. 😂
I think what you do is mainly work with the four pads. Tapping on one saves the current CC values to it, making it one of the "corners" of the XY Pad.
To give you more places to store pads, you can flip to the pads view and tap to save things there. Then, long-press to recall any of them and finally tap one of the first four pads to save as a "corner".
You can safely forget about the extended pads view and just work with the four pads. You don't have to use all four pads either. You can morph just between two if you like.
It's easier to use than it sounds.
Ahh, got it! That looks interesting. I may still write the AUv3 to have more control over adding multiple "keyframe" values and morphing an entire group of values.
That'd be a great AUv3 for sure.
That reminds me, the Audible Instruments Keyframer/Mixer module has some nice features that might provide inspiration.
I'm not sure what you mean about groups of values. It does morph entire groups of values. No key framing though. That would be cool. 😎
Oh you're right - impressive work.
I also need this behavior in Ableton so I'll make this cross-platform for macOS as a universal binary.
Can you use Turnado, in the midi slot, and morph whatever you need through midi assignments?
@audiblevideo ohhhh of course! haha yeah that does it. thanks
there might be an issue with how turnado has an "off" position when the dictator is at 0 but that might not affect midi cc output
might still do the auv3 for finer control, the turnado dictator keyframes are kinda far apart and only support linear transition curves. and it doesn't run on iphone, and midi routing is more work to manage as a user than multi-channel audio in/out. but now i don't need to shave that yak just to get my workflow going. thank you
as context, my eventual plan is to build "StemDJ.com" (no site up yet, just have the domain) a product for producing, sharing, remixing stems with special support for the TX-6 as an iteration on the stemplayer.com product. the stems will each have a knob you can turn to realtime shift through up to 256 recorded variations of each stem, during playback/performance. so this turnado setup is a way to start producing these layered stems while I build the apps.
it's conceptually like combining wave-tables with stems of much longer duration. should be valuable to artists and consumers alike, like the more limited stemplayer.com product.
