THIS IS MIDI COUNTER
This is by far the simplest plugin of the bunch. Originally created by InspirAspir and further developed by Kaskobi to where it is today, this MIDI counting device is designed to count exactly how many MIDI notes or CC messages pass through it, giving you an exact number of how many MIDI notes are used in the performance of your Launchpad Project, or any other project for that matter. It can count the total notes to go through your entire project as well by putting it into project total mode, it will listen to any other counters and total up the value.
The simplest Max For Live device to count your MIDI messages
Setup
This plugin is very simple to setup, you simply have to download this device, and drag it to the very end of your light effect chain, outside of the main MIDI effect rack, or at the end or start of any track with MIDI passing through it.
No specific requirements of file location. Tested and confirmed as functional with Ableton 10.0.5 and higher, and Max 8 (Lower versions should still work). Live 10 Suite or Trial is required to run this plugin.
Usage
This plugin can be used to count the MIDI messages of a MIDI lightshow, the performed notes, the number of notes in a scale, the number of notes in a black MIDI track. The uses are endless.
