MIDI Devices

Our range of devices focus on the creation and editing of MIDI notes first and foremost.
Under the MaxforLive MIDI Devices section we’ve got the individual MaxforLive sequencers from Ableton certified trainer Mark Towers that make up the Arcade Series. Whether you’re looking to create rhythms with the Pinball inspired PolyPin or chords & arpeggiators with Tetriq based on the classic Russian blocks game for the Gameboy, you’ll find new inspiration with what they create that’ll help you get over that dreaded writers block!
Now you have a number of clips full of MIDI what can you do with them next? Well if you’re one of the hundreds of people who’ve sent feature requests you’ll be wanting to be able to edit multiple MIDI clips at the same time on the same piano roll. That’s where Chaos Cultures MIDI Multiclip Editor comes in, allowing you to edit a number of clips in both session and arrange view at the same time!
