Release Mutateful v1.1 · carrierdown/mutateful

What's new in version 1.1

Added repeat and alternate operators, written as x and | respectively. This allows you to specify complex sequences using a much terser syntax. Consider the difference between ratchet 1x3 5 2|4|6 (new syntax) and the equivalent old syntax: ratchet 1 1 1 5 2 1 1 1 5 4 1 1 1 5 6.
Added 3 new commands: remap (easily remap a set of pitches to use in a drum rack for instance), setpitch (sets the pitch of all notes to the specified value or values, shortening notes as necessary when there are overlaps), and loop (duplicates the length of the clip with the factor specified, allowing easy creation of longer evolving sequences).

Download the .zip for your OS (Windows or macOS) in the Assets section below.
Unzip the contents somewhere and start Mutateful.exe (Windows) or Mutateful.app (macOS).
On Windows, you might get a prompt informing that "Windows Defender Firewall has blocked some features of this app". Click Allow access, since mutateful uses network features in order to communicate with Ableton Live.
Open Ableton Live and insert mutateful-connector.amxd onto a MIDI track by dragging and dropping from File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (macOS).
You're now ready to start entering formulas in your Ableton Live set. The Usage examples section in the README is a good place to start.

If you're unable to get formulas working, try clicking the edit button on the mutateful-connector device. On macOS there seems to sometimes be an issue with activating the externals needed for the patcher to work, which is mitigated by opening the device, trying a formula, and then closing it again if connection is established.
