This device is simply a visual pie chart or “clock” that shows you where you are in the loop cycle in Ableton. It can be opened into a larger window that stays on top in Ableton and can easily be seen from a distance. It can count 1,2,4,8, or 16 bars.
Easy Opening
A tip I use with the global clock visualizer: Using Ableton’s key mapping feature, I map the “Open” button on the device to the “c” key on my keyboard so I can open the clock quickly and easily when opening a fresh template.
