Corperous Concativus v2.1
***Please read full description for important details of installation***
Max for Live Instrument using Concatenative Synthesis:
This is version 2.1 of Corperous Concativus (see version 1.0 here: https://viberous.gumroad.com/l/corperousconcativus).
This is built from splicing a few of the MUBU CataRT tutorial patches together (referenced in the max patch), porting it to m4l, and adding some additional features that I thought would be fun :) This build seems to be more stable to use than 1.0--some aspects were taken out to strip the device down. Limitation breeds creativity!
Added Features since 1.0: Big XY/scatterplot graph, X & Y knobs, attack and release, beat mode in MS or BPM sync (unfortunately not Ableton sync'd :(), fine pitch knob, midi in for pitch and velocity.

DISCLAIMERZ:
***Currently NOT tested for Ableton 12***
The 2.1 version should address issues with how max has changed to handling externals (Thank you Alexander Panos for helping!). This seems to have corrected a lot of issues for people using newer versions of Ableton.
Built in Ableton Live 10.1.43 with Max 8.1.11 / Works in Ableton Live 11.2.0 with Max 8.3.3
Required Max Packages: MUBU for Max (download from Max Package Manager)
There are still some bugs--mostly visual ones in the x/y scatterplot graph. You may get an occasional crash (like loading a billion samples while things are being automated in your project), so I'd recommend using this for sound design projects only.
WINDOWS USERS (UPDATE): A sizable amount of users had issues with v1.0 and max objects not working and/or being recognized (specifically the imubu~ object). Windows 10 user, Adam Chase reported on Youtube getting v2.0 working! "I have Live reference my standalone max instead of the bundled version. I did the package install in standalone and then made sure the device could load properly there before testing again in Live." Thank you Adam!

***In order to automate the X/Y knobs you have to group/rack the device and macro both X and Y knobs. Automate the macros NOT the X/Y knobs directly in the device. Automating the direct ones will oddly cancel one of the knobs out***
