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!

O-blek
Stochastic Sequencer
O-blek is a stochastic sequencer with individual length options to offset and produce dynamic ever- changing patterns easily. By setting the probability at each step of which of 3 sequences are played from, combined with separate sequence lengths for velocity, octave shift, note length, gate, harmony and 2 set parameters the result is controlled chaos. Easily set parts of the sequence to be fixed, and other parts directed by probability.

Chance TEN
Rated 5.00 out of 5Probability Based Inspiration
The Chance TEN pack is a set of simple MaxforLive devices based on probability and randomness, inspired by the scripts used by Brian Eno. These MIDI devices allow you to set the probability of notes passing through or being altered, in their pitch and velocity values. Other devices use MIDI input to trigger parameters in Live. Creating these as single function devices allows you to mix and match as you like and create unique MIDI FX chains.
As a bonus, you also get one device which is not based on chance, a velocity sequencer which will change the velocity of any incoming notes, instantly adding movement and life to any dry MIDI
