Drop the device into your Master/Main track.
(Or onto any track you use to store your M4L devices.)
You’ll see a little box in the device that says „Drop BounceHelper here”
Find the BounceHelper.amxd file in your user library (it came with the download)
then simply drag and drop it into this box.
Once you’ve done that the device will show you that it’s ready to use:
Important: Now you can save the device either as a preset into Live’s browser or you can simply re-save your Live Set template with the device in it, That way you can skip this setup process the next time you want to use the device.
Important: Keep the BounceHelper.amxd file in the same folder where you originally added it to the device. If you move it, the device won’t be able to find it, and you’ll need to set it up again.
Optional setting For Windows users:
If you’re on Windows and you click on the Gear icon, you’ll see another button on the device with 4 Options:
Menu, Shortcut, Language, AHK
With this button you can select the method the device should use to create a new rendered clip.
In most cases all of them should work just fine, and there’s no need to touch it.
But if the default Menu option doesn’t work for you, you can try the other 3 options.
Here's what they do:
Menu:
Uses automation scripts to select and execute menu points in order to create the new clip.
Shortcut:
Uses keyboard shortcuts to create the new clip.
Language:
This is a combination of the first two methods, plus it’s Language dependent.
If your Ableton Live interface is set to a different language than US-English, and you select this method
you’ll see a new List popping up where you can select the Language to match the one you’re using Live in.
AHK:
The AHK method will use AutoHotkey instead of PowerShell to do its thing.
Once you enabled the AHK mode drag and drop the BounceHelperAHK.ahk, and the BounceHelperRT-AHK files into the second boxes like you did with the BounceHelper.amxd file.
(Please note that there's seprate versions of these AHK scripts for Live 10, 11, and 12, so make sure to use the ones that matches your Live version.)
Important: If you’re using the AHK method you’re gonna still need the BounceHelper.amxd file!
Important: In order to make the AHK method work you need to install AutoHotkey 1.1 (not the 2.0 version)If you’re not familiar with it you can download it from here:
