Natural Selection P by DILLON BASTAN

Natural Selection P is a groundbreaking sound design tool that evolves presets of any external device or rack in Ableton, treating their parameter values like DNA. By mixing and mutating these values, you can create new sounds and refine them over generations. You play the role of the environment, guiding the evolution of sounds without manually tweaking synth parameters.

Key Features:

  • Genetic preset evolution for external devices
  • Morph up to 8 presets with XY quadrants
  • Comprehensive parameter management for external devices
  • 12 versatile presets included

data.mod by Dillon Bastan

data.mod is a max for live audio effect that is a series of modulators which can be mapped to various parameters in Live. It modulates the parameters via an ever changing array of values in the “data” section. Each frame, these values are changed via a selection of operations.

Depending on the initial values and the selected operations, these values can produce various types of oscillations, from simple to complex.

Iridescence by Dillon Bastan

Iridescence is a MaxForLive delay effect with arpeggiated note trails via a polyphonic real-time pitch shifting and delay system.

You can select how many notes are in an arpeggiated “chord” created off of the audio input.

Additionally, you can create up to 16 different chords that can transition via a Markov Chain (a probabilistic transition from chord to chord). This device can create beautiful harmonies off of a single note!

Songbird by Dillon Bastan

Songbird is a MaxForLive audio instrument featuring a simulation of a flock of birds, each bird having its own model of a syrinx (a bird vocal organ) as well as a model of a simple birdbrain that controls the syrinx to create different syllables.

Each bird’s position, speed, angle, etc in the flock can be mapped to various parameters as modulation sources.

This device yields anything from textures, drones, rhythms, harsh/haunting/noisy/pretty tones, generative soundscapes, odd melodies, and of course different sounding bird calls!

data.train by Dillon Bastan

data.train is a sampler mangler of sorts that can be used as an audio effect or instrument (works with dropped samples or live audio input).

It centers around the modulation of sample playback and FX through a grid of math operators. Each playback and FX parameter has its own modulation source/value and each frame that value changes based on its selected math operator.

By changing the operators in a chain of events and the source of their right-hand operand, you can create complex to harmonic oscillations that can be evolving over time or repeating rhythms.
