YOU NEED

  - A Mac (Apple silicon or Intel)
  - Ableton Live 12 with Max for Live (Live Suite, or Live Standard with
    the Max for Live add-on)


INSTALL

  Quickest: drag Chopsmith Sequencer.amxd from Finder onto a MIDI track, in
  front of a Simpler.

  To have it in Live's browser, copy it into your User Library:
    Chopsmith Sequencer.amxd ->  User Library/Presets/MIDI Effects/Max MIDI Effect/
  (The User Library is in ~/Music/Ableton/ unless you've moved it. In Live:
  Settings > Library shows where.)


USING IT

  1. Drop a loop on a Simpler (a loop Chopsmith cut is perfect), and put the
     Sequencer in front of it on the same track.
  2. Press 1/16, 1/8 or Trans. to have Simpler slice it (or slice it in
     Simpler yourself, or use a Drum Rack from "Slice to Drum Rack").
  3. Press play in Live. The Sequencer plays the slices In order; pick
     another Pattern (Reverse, Flip, Euclid, Stutter, Half-time) and press
     Dice for another take.
  4. Edit it: click a slice in the waveform to pick it, click steps to put
     it there (click again for a rest), drag a step up or down for another
     slice, drag in the velocity and probability rows.
  5. Swing pushes every second step late (66 is a triplet feel); Gate is
     how long each slice is held.
  6. Write clip puts the pattern into a new MIDI clip on the track and
     turns Play off, so it plays from the clip.


ACTIVATING

  Without a licence it's the demo: everything plays; Write clip and saving
  the pattern with your set need a licence. Press Write clip, paste the key
  from your purchase email into the window that opens and press Activate.
  It's asked for once per Mac, and works offline after that.
