MaxforLive

Remember when a joint venture between Ableton & Cycling 74 was announced just a few years ago? Well with Ableton now owning wholly Cycling 74, we’re looking forward to an even tighter integration between these two powerful platforms and we fully intend to be at the forefront of developing new & innovative products for them both.
Max4Live accesses the Ableton Live API at a deeper level than allowed by simple MIDI mapping alone we have managed to solve some of the most popular feature requests seen on the Audio Production forums around the world wide web, you’ll find the results of our moments of inspiration with the MaxforLive Control Devices category.
Additionally, within this section of our catalogue you find MaxforLive devices dedicated to enhancing and indeed destroying your audio (or adding just a touch of glitch), creating and rearranging your MIDI and finally producing visuals out of the resulting inspiration.

£16.00

Sicu is a boutique physically modeled MPE Pan Flute instrument. Minimalist controls make way for simple and effective hands-on play which responds to Aftertouch / Channel Pressure and MPE pitch bends. Although optimised for a realistic pan flute sound, the instrument also allows for a much longer envelope to create breathing pad sounds.

Modulat by Chaos Culture – Live 12

The Ultimate MaxforLive Building Blocks

COMPATIBILITY: Ableton Live 11 / 12 Suite or Ableton Live 11 / 13 Standard with MaxforLive Installed

Original price was: £95.00.Current price is: £60.00.

UPDATED FOR LIVE 12: with new Modulate Module!Modulat is a MaxforLive Toolkit of prebuilt modules that you can use to effect parameters, output audio and generally be awesome.Spawn a module from the menu and connect it up using patch cords, this is MaxforLive without the coding!

ADD by LDM Design

Unstable length modulated sequencer

COMPATIBILITY: Ableton Live 11 Suite or Ableton Live 11 Standard with MaxforLive Installed

£20.00

Build on the idea of instability, this MPE compatible sequencer creates constantly changing patterns of notes with modulated note parameters. Each time the sequence reaches the end, the sequence length itself grows or shrinks, within predefined limitations, creating unpredictable rhythmic patterns. The changes in length can also be mapped to velocity level, note length, and MPE slide and pressure parameter values.The device consists of 8 note sequencers with individual controls for grow mode, step size, minimum and maximum sequence length, growth amount, hold, and probability. It also includes the option to freeze specific sequences to prevent changes. Global controls allow us to set swing amount to loosen up midi timing and note pitches can be set using a scale selection.

Neuraloot by Sonus Dept.

NEURAL NETWORK MAXFORLIVE DEVICES FOR ABLETON LIVE

COMPATIBILITY: Ableton Live 10 / 11 Suite or Ableton Live 10 / 11 Standard with MaxforLive Installed

£21.00

NEURALOOT is a suite of Max for Live devices built around the neural oscillator, which is a wavetable oscillator whose shape is generated by a neural network (the decoder section of an autoencoder, if you want to get more technical).

This in house neural network was trained on thousands of waveforms, and it learnt how to encode in the most exact way any shape in just eight parameters, that make up the latent space of the network. Each combination of these parameters is able to reconstruct a waveform, and changing gradually one or more components of the latent space lets you seamlessly morph a shape into another one.

The complexity and the properties of the generated shapes makes them perfect to be used as modulators, sequencers and drone generators. NEURALOOT takes advantage of the neural oscillator to create all this nice stuff.

FUNCTION SUITE by Ned RUSH

Function led effect powerhouse!

COMPATIBILITY: Ableton Live 10 / 11 Suite or Ableton Live 10 / 11 Standard with MaxforLive Installed

£36.00

Functions are a suite of “sound transformers” that use a breakpoint function editor to apply modulation to the sound.Different from many standard audio effects with built in modulation capabilities like LFO’s or envelope generators, the Function allows you to draw in complex custom modulation shapes or multi-stage envelopes, which can then be indexed using a variety of signals, producing linear and non-linear modulations, designed to create interesting forms of movement.

FREE BUNDLE by DILLON BASTAN

MaxforLive Modulators

COMPATIBILITY: Ableton Live 11 Suite or Ableton Live 11 Standard with MaxforLive Installed

This is the bumper pack of all of Dillon Bastans Free MaxforLive Devices for Ableton Live in one easy self installing pack!

Steps by Rainbow Circuit

Step Sequencing Modulator Device

COMPATIBILITY: Ableton Live 10 / 11 Suite or Ableton Live 10 / 11 Standard with MaxforLive Installed

£17.00

NEW VERSION NOW AVAILABLE

Steps is a Max for Live step sequencer modulator device. Inspired by Eurorack modules, Steps sequenced modulation signal can be mapped to any of Lives parameters. Dial in step count and sequencer rate, or randomize step values to add interesting rhythmic modulation.

Steps can not only add a layer of rhythm to your tracks, but the step sequencer itself can be a powerful engine of musical development. Automate Steps parameters to let the modulation play a key role in your tracks, and encounter happy accidents along the way.

PreRoll by LDM Design

Dynamic drumroll designer

COMPATIBILITY: Ableton Live 11 Suite or Ableton Live 11 Standard with MaxforLive Installed

Original price was: £20.00.Current price is: £17.00.

This fun, flexible and intuitive Max For Live midi effect empowers you to easily trigger dynamic and nuanced drum patterns with one touch, providing modulated velocity envelopes and realistic sounding patterns.Trigger up to 8 different pre-rolled patterns, each with an internal velocity sequence of up to 16 steps, and a multi-breakpoint envelope which modulates the velocity, allowing the sequence to ease in and out, or to create evolving velocity patterns offset from the internal sequence.

Touch Me 2 by Elisabeth Homeland

Automate the last touched parameter in your project with one MIDI fader/knob 

COMPATIBILITY: Ableton Live 10 / 11 / 12 Suite or Ableton Live 10 / 11 / 12 Standard with MaxforLive Installed

You can assign a MIDI fader/knob to always follow and control the last touched/selected parameter in your project.Just press the “Learn” button, and move a fader/knob of your controller.This is a good solution if you like writing automation with a controller but you don’t want to MIDI map the parameters every single time.
