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.

METAPATH

MANIFEST AUDIO MIDI TOOLS FOR LIVE 12

COMPATIBILITY: Ableton Live 12 Suite or Ableton Live 12 Standard with MaxforLive Installed

£7.00

Create winding melodies that traverse a slope of pitches over a given distance in current grid or per-note intervals. Notes are generated within the current scale and key, and within your specified range. Note tie, velocity, and pattern density add additional variation, but it’s the randomization that makes longer patterns more interesting: distance, slope, and note base can be randomized at each pivot point to generate less predictable patterns that find ways to surprise you at every turn.

METAFLUX

MANIFEST AUDIO MIDI TOOLS FOR LIVE 12

COMPATIBILITY: Ableton Live 12 Suite or Ableton Live 12 Standard with MaxforLive Installed

£7.00

Harness seven unique randomization algorithms to generate melodies and coherent chords within a range of notes — scale aware in Live’s current Scale and Key. Use density to control the busy-ness of the pattern randomly, or use the unique Euclidean rhythm and count masking options to ensure your randomized notes fall on specific rhythmic intervals. Add up to 8 voices of polyphony to generate randomized chords, with all notes on a rhythmic step inheriting the same length and velocity.

METARHYTHM

MANIFEST AUDIO MIDI TOOLS FOR LIVE 12

COMPATIBILITY: Ableton Live 12 Suite or Ableton Live 12 Standard with MaxforLive Installed

£7.00

Combine potent Euclidean programming with fully polyrhythmic and polymetric pulse rates to generate intricate rhythms. Count masking, Euclidean direction control, and rhythmic inversion instantly power new patterns. Use velocity, accent, deviation, chance, and note length to inject even more life into any rhythm. Engage optional scale awareness for melodic use.

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.
