To install MIDI Tools, first double-click to decompress the ZIP archive it arrived in. !
In Live’s Browser, navigate to the User Library in Places
Then find the MIDI Tools folder located there (2). If you don’t see a folder called MIDI Tools in your User Library, simply create it yourself.
We’d advice adding two subfolders for Generators and Transformers for neatness.
Finally, drag our Generators to the Generators subfolder and our Transformers to the Transformers subfolder
Live should automatically detect them and within the next few minutes, they should appear in the dropdown chooser of Live’s Generators or Transformers in the corresponding tab of any MIDI Clip’s Note Editor.
PLEASE NOTE: Once installed MIDI Tools, since they are not Max MIDI Effects, cannot be dragged and dropped onto MIDI tracks: they can only be loaded by the Generator and Transformer tabs of the MIDI clip editor.
Initial Release – June 2024
This pack of 6 MIDI transformation tools focuses on rhythmic and melodic experimentation. The different tools can help you unlock polyrhythmic, polytempic, non dyadic, and generative rhythms and melodies from your existing rhythms and melodies.
There are 4 different tools that have the word Weird in them, each of these tools helps you work with polyrhythmic, polymetric, and non dyadic grids. These tools have very similar interfaces and are meant to be used together.
On each of the “Weird” tools you set your customizable time value with 2 different modes. The different tools will perform their functions with this time value.
To get polyrhythmic, polymetric, or tuplet time values, use polyrhythm mode. This allows you to set your time value with the “Beat Unit” parameter, which is divided by the “Subdivision” parameter and multiplied by the “# of Beats” parameters.
In “Decimal” mode, the “# of Beats” parameter multiplies the “Beat Unit” by a decimal value, this mode is for non dyadic rhythms.
These “Weird” devices include:
The other devices each have their own different functions and interfaces. These include:
The parameters you can manipulate are: Pitch, Velocity, Duration, Mute, Probability, Velocity Deviation, Release Velocity, and All.
The algorithms are:
Scramble: Randomly scramble the values of the selected parameter.
Rotate: Rotate parameter values forward (+) or backward (-).
Reverse: Reverse parameter values.
Sort: Sort parameter values from low to high (+) or high to low (-).
Cut: Cuts notes at a selected note number (the “Cut At” parameter) and switches the 2 parts around.
Shuffle: Cut’s and shuffles the notes, like a perfect shuffle of a card deck. (Ex. 123456=142536)
The combination of all these devices can help you get inspiration when you feel stuck by generating unexpected variation out of your existing material.
