Release Mutateful v1.5 beta 1 · carrierdown/mutateful

What's new in version 1.5 beta 1

Live 11 compatibility 🎉
Reworked communcation between Mutateful and Live. This was previously done using UDP which required some max externals that did not play well with later versions of MacOS. The new implementation is based on websockets and do not require any native externals to function properly.
In addition, the state management inside Mutateful has now been completely rewritten and results in a more reliable experience, especially when doing larger sets with formulas that depend on lots of other cells/formulas.

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 Live11Connector.amxd onto a MIDI track by dragging and dropping from File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (macOS).
Upon first use, click the "Install dependencies" button in the M4L device. This will install nodejs dependencies that are needed for communication with the host app to function properly.
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 having trouble getting formulas to work, try clicking the "Reinitialize" button in the M4L device. When things are working properly you should see log messages appearing in the terminal window where mutateful is running.
