ALFIL Max (Ableton Live Fast Item Loader) is a Max for Live device designed to speed up the workflow in Ableton Live. It allows you to load Live browser elements from a floating window, avoiding having to navigate through browser folders.
Main features:
- Supports the following file formats: ADG, ADV, ALS, AMXD, AUPRESET and VSTPRESET.
- The device reads files from disk. This way, there’s no need to create device presets, and the item list is always up-to-date, even when opening old projects.
- Items can be inserted via a single click or drag and drop.
- The insertion position can be set to the left or right of the currently selected device, or by default at the end of the track’s effects chain.
- Optional setting to automatically close the floating window after inserting an item.
- The floating window can be opened via key mapping.
- It works on Windows and Mac. However, one-click insertion takes a while on Windows. In that OS it is preferable to use drag and drop.
How to use it:
- Create a folder in your user library. For example, a folder called “Effects”.
- Place the device inside the folder.
- Create subfolders for each of the categories you want to use to group the effects.
- Place the files inside each subfolder.
When loading the device in the project, the files in the subfolders will be displayed grouped under the name of each subfolder.
The device reads files from the disk every time it starts up. So you can add new files to subfolders at any time, and they’ll be displayed even if you open older projects.
ALFIL Max has 3 different window sizes, displaying 48, 96 or 192 slots.
