Supports velocity, micro-timing, rolls, and MIDI Chords currently, but more FX coming. Lots of behavior customizations with importing Ableton clips into the pattern. Built it for myself primarily to help converting Ableton sets into live DAWless sets with Polyend Tracker (mini) as the “brains”. ---

Converting the MIDI tracks of an ableton clip into a polyend tracker pattern so you can side load it into a project. Or alternatively taking an mtp pattern and exporting it to an ableton clip. Basically speeding up the process of transferring the midi data between the two without recording (which is prone to subtle errors). It’s purely something for me + my workflow and I wanted to share it. ---

Yo this is amazing for me. Gonna check it out when I get home but wow. Normally don’t work in clip mode in Ableton but it’s not hard to just drag my midi into the clip view. You’re the goat man. Haven’t really seen any other useful extensions in 12 yet so this is awesome ---

@atomicafro Interesting project! I think I’ll find this useful as well… Sadly, I’m having trouble building it. The `npm run build` commands cited in the README all fail because the “workspace” labels are not defined anywhere. Perhaps this is something that was only locally configured on your machine?
