Transform Ableton Live into a multi-timeline control hub for visuals, lighting, and interactive systems. A high-precision bridge to synchronize your Ableton clips as cues with the rest of your setup (TouchDesigner, Resolume, DMX, Unreal Engine…).

1. The Engine: Dual-Mode Triggering

Built for total versatility, the device features a hybrid tracking system that instantly adapts to your workflow.

• Arrangement Mode: Uses a sorted event dictionary to index start/end positions on the timeline. It triggers cues with surgical precision as the playhead crosses boundaries.
• Session Mode: Monitors slot playback states in real-time, firing instant cues upon clip launch or stop.

2. The Architecture: Modular Address Building

Unlike rigid OSC mappers, you define the hierarchy of your data stream. Toggle switches allow you to dynamically include or exclude metadata:

• Namespace: Your global project prefix (supports sub-paths like stage/visuals).
• Track & Clip: Sanitized metadata injection. Spaces are auto-replaced with underscores (_) and quotes are stripped to ensure 100% OSC compliance.

3. The Payload: Dynamic Value Detection

VOID CUE 2 OSC handles data types intelligently. Define your Start and End values manually in the UI:

• Numeric: If you enter a number (e.g., 1 or 127), it is sent as a float/integer.
• String: If you enter text (e.g., start or active), it is sent as a string.
• Strip Off: A tactical “Send Off” toggle allows you to suppress stop messages entirely for a cleaner, trigger-only stream.

4. The Safety: Performance Guardrails

Designed for professional live environments where stability is non-negotiable.

• Jump Detection: Detects playhead scrubbing or timeline jumps and updates internal states silently to prevent “cue storms.”
• Startup Guard: Robust initialization sequence prevents API errors during heavy project loads.
• Network Ready: Optimized for zero-latency local loopback (127.0.0.1) or broadcast across complex IP networks.

Tech Specs:

• Format: Max for Live Tool (.amxd)
• OS: Mac & Windows compatible
• Requirements: Ableton Live Suite (or Standard with M4L add-on)
• Network: Compatible with any OSC-enabled software (TouchDesigner, Resolume, Unreal Engine, Processing, etc.)

Installation:

1. Download the file : https://structurevoid.gumroad.com/l/void-cue-2-osc
2. Drag and drop the .amxd file onto any track in Ableton Live (we recommend a dedicated “OSC” track).

3. Click the “Save” icon on the device header to store it in your User Library.
