M4L device for NL3 program management

Post by kotatsu »

Hi there! The other day I was noodling on my NL3 and I was thinking that it would have been cool to just have multiple variations of the same patch directly in my DAW without wasting memory on the machine... So I fired up Max, read a bit about sysex messages and here we are :)

This is a little devide that lets you send program dumps (as "dump one") so that the current configuration of your synth is saved in your Ableton live session :D Hope it can be useful to someone else besides me! Let me know if you see any strange behavior or bugs, I'll try to fix them :)

Thank you! There is still some jankiness involved, I will push the next version as soon as possible. If you see something strange don't hesitate to let me know, thank you so much!
