Iridescence by Dillon Bastan
Arppegiated delay trails with a markov chord system
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!

Rabbit Hole by Culto
CAN YOU ESCAPE THE RABBIT HOLE?
“Curiouser and curiouser!” cried Alice as she gazed into the Rabbit Hole. Take a journey through this wonder tunnel and your sound will meet a new reality, unlike any other.
Rabbit Hole is the ultimate chaos modulation delay by Culto, where parallel modulators driven by a random function warp its delay lines into creating weird sonic events. It fills empty spaces in your samples, creating additional rhythmical layers and thick, swirling textures.
With Rabbit Hole, you can reverse the delay sound, filter it, loop portions of the random function, apply gentle modulation for chorusing effects, and add quirky jumps for bubbly streams of sound.
So, if you need unheard sounds, enter the wonder tunnel and let Rabbit Hole take you on a wild ride of sonic discovery.

Songbird by Dillon Bastan
Bird flock simulator and more!
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
Want to sample and mangle?
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.

PIASTRONE by AVAL
MaxforLive Plate Reverb
Piastrone is a Max4Live device for Ableton Live, a plate reverb dedicated to the italian composer Gino Marinuzzi Jr., who in 1963 defined with this term the reverb technique.
It’s based on the famous Dattorro (1997) digital plate reverb design, which returns a dry and, at the same time, deep and spacious sound, with the possibility, through modulations, to obtain more metallic and spicy sound.

DISCO by Alessandro aylesim Miracapillo
Rated 5.00 out of 5Spinning Delay!
Disco is a circular Euclidian delay, where every delay line can rotate around making interesting delay artifacts!
The signal is split into different delay lines that can rotate together or independently, speeding and slowing down the audio signal.
Use it as a simple Euclidian delay, spin it for crazy effects or just add a little bit of movement to your sound! Possibilities are many, so have fun!

GrainLoop by NOISS COKO
Rated 5.00 out of 5Granular looping & layering device
GrainLoop is a real time audio looping device that uses granular synthesis as an alternative for the old classic and traditional linear playback. This sample based technique triggers a continuous stream of sound particles, that rearranged in time, reflect a rather mangled and often fractured version of the original loop.
- Real time audio recording and unlimited overdubbing.
- Up to four grains playing audio simultaneously.
- Random and LFO modulation for Point, Speed, Density, Detune, Pan and Level.
- Push integration allows remote control and automation of all parameters.
- Automatically save and recall recorded loops within your Ableton Live projects.
