The Modular Series offers a wide range of Max4Live devices that are usable with any Midi Controller.
Each device uses Max4Live to offer a solution to a common Ableton feature request…
Want to have a follow action when an unwarped clip stops or want to be able to perform Traktor Style looping on a clip then the Modular Series is for you…
The device list continues to grow and subscribers will receive any new additions that arise out of further requests…
We’re currently in the process of updating each of the Modular Devices, you’ll see the first four on the videos on this page. The LivePack ready download however also includes the devices you’ll find details of at our vimeochannel…
SMART
Smart can be thought of as a super charged rack allowing you to plot the path of any parameter within Ableton to a Smart graph and link it to one Master Smart Dial.
Using Max4Live up to eight parameters can be mapped so as the master dial turns different parameters can be modulated at different rates enabling for example the treble of a clip to be brought in from 0, the mids coming in from 25% and the the bass from 50% whilst the volume increases steadily…
SLICER
The Slicer devices buffers an incoming bar or two bars of audio, divides it into eight equal parts and allows any of those parts to be re-triggered as slices via MIDI…
The length of each slice can be adjusted on the fly to give some nice glitch roll style effects…
You also have a Brake, Reverse and Gater effect to add to the Filter Slides and EQ Kills…
SHUFFLER
Buffer Shuffler is one of the Building Blocks of Max4Live. Our version brings new life to static loops allowing them to be glitched and rearranged on the fly by allowing it to be midi mapped to any controller…
You can re-order the buffered audio, mute or reverse it, or even cut it up into smaller slices, all achievable via midi…
FOLLOW
One of the most requested features of Ableton is the ability to set follow actions that occur at a clip end rather than a predetermined time.
With our Follow device you can not only acheive the standard follow actions at clip end, but you can also trigger them at clip stop, define the clip number to be played next or even switch the Clip follow action to become a Scene follow action.
The final piece of the jigsaw is the ability to set a follow action in hours, minutes and seconds and apply this to an unwarped clip…
LOOPER
And second on that list is on the fly looping, the move from a DVS was a big jump for us and we missed some of things we took for granted.
Drop Looper on every track you want control over and it allows you to control the currently playing clips looping properties via MIDI. You can set pre-determined length loops, move them, halve or double them, all without having to focus on the playing clip first…
ROLLER
The final device of the series brings Serato like Loop Rolls to Ableton with an added twist…
Acting like a momentary beat repeat capturing audio and rolling it stutter like, you can move the start position of the roll and reduce the end point to produce that characteristic Pioneer CDJ sound…
