Fantastic gate sequencer. The Push, Launchpad, etc. controller integration really brings it to the next level and is really well-done. A sequencer like this really needs some hands-on control to make the most of it.
Frogger by Mark Towers
Originally part of the Acarde Series Returns a set of MaxforLive Generative Sequencers from Ableton Certified Trainer, Mark Towers, Frogger is an 8-step gate sequencer inspired by the classic video game and electronic gate sequencers. Via the mouse or control surface you set the pitch/octave for each step. When the sequence lands on the step the note is triggered. All pitch values conform to the globally selected scale with individual octave control per step.
Use the Gate Length to set the duration of counts for each step (1-8). Each step will count to the specified amount before moving on to the next step observing the set mode.
HOLD – A note is held for the duration of the specified gate length.
REPEAT – A note is triggered for every count of the specified gate length.
SINGLE – A note is triggered for the first count of the step, remaining counts are treated as rests.
REST – A rest is triggered for the specified gate length
Within the Ableton Live pack you’ll find devices that are compatible with Novation LaunchPad MKI, MKII, Pro, Native Instruments Maschine Jam, Ableton Push 1 & 2 as well as a universal device that can be used with any MIDI Controller via MIDI Mapping or the mouse and keyboard.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frogger requires Ableton Live Suite or Ableton Live Standard with a separate Max for Live licence. It is recommended to run the latest version of both Live and Max for Live for full compatibility.
You set a pitch and octave for each of the 8 steps, and when the sequence reaches a step, the note is triggered. Each step has its own Gate Length setting (1-8 counts) that determines how long the sequence dwells on that step before moving to the next.
Hold sustains the note for the full duration of the gate length, Repeat triggers the note on every count within the gate length, and Single triggers the note once regardless of the gate length set.
Yes, all pitch values automatically conform to the globally selected scale in Ableton Live, so every step stays in key without any manual adjustment needed.
Yes, Frogger can be operated via mouse or a connected control surface, giving you hands-on control over step values and sequencer parameters during a live performance or studio session.
Absolutely. The combination of hardware controller support, per-step gate modes, and scale-locked pitches makes it well suited to both live sets and studio sound design, particularly if you enjoy rhythmic, gated melodic patterns.

Our Products are generally provided as Zip file downloads which in all cases will need to be extracted and saved to your hard drive prior to installation. Details on the different file type provided and what to do with them are below.
.alp Files – These are Ableton Live Packs and will either install directly into the Packs Section of the browser of Ableton Live or ask you to save them to your hard drive. For packs that install to the library, when you double click on them you will see a pop up window asking you to confirm that installation is ok as the files are described as “Legacy”. This is fine and you are ok to proceed, the packs are created using the format for an earlier version of Live and so remain compatible with the current version.
.amxd files – These are individual MaxforLive Devices and can be stored anywhere on your hard drive. We’d advise creating a folder for them and then adding that folder as a location within the Places section of Lives Browser.
