This is a pack of 3 Polyphonic Midi Effect MaxforLive devices for Ableton Live based on the idea of a classic bouncing ball delay to help create some interesting sound design. All of the devices have exactly the same controls, but function a little differently.
Gravity Delay is a classic bouncing ball style delay
a) The time controls can be set in ms or sync time values and this will be the amount of time between the original note and the first repeat. Each successive repeat will then come more quickly as gravity acts on it.
b) The slider on the left acts much like a feedback control and will set how much the velocity will drop over the successive repeats.
c) The knob in the centre controls the probability of the device acting on incoming midi notes, much like the devices in the Chance 10 pack.
d) The slider on the right controls the rate of gravity which acts on the delay time.
e) The Gravity Delay has a small knob to introduce randomization to the initial delay time.
f) There is a trigger button at the bottom to force 100% probability while the button is pressed down. When this button is released the probability will return to the amount set with the knob.
Rippler is essentially the same thing in reverse, as if a stationary ball starts to jump higher each bounce.
Rippler has exactly the same controls, but it works in reverse. The delay time will start from nothing and increase according to the (anti-)gravity rate until the space between notes reaches the amount set in the time section. As if the bouncing ball begins on the floor and makes bigger and bigger bounces.
Ripplecoil combines the 2 so the ball has increasing sized jumps and then falls down with gravity. They can be used to make some nice interesting sound design. All devices are polyphonic.
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 install directly into the Packs Section of the browser of Ableton Live. 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.
Control Surface Scripts – Please refer to the individual User Guides provided with your download, an abridged version of the installation will be shown further down this page.
ClyphX Pro – Please refer directly to the manual and installation video for this specific product.
Novation Circuit Packs – These are provided as individual Sysex Files and as a complete bank file. All are to be installed using a version of the Circuit Editor and not via Novations Components back up utility.
For support as an existing customer please use the Support Request section within your account page, this will enable us to validate your purchase automatically and assign the request to the relevant developer to respond when they're available.
Heike Scherlie –
Indispensable when it comes to getting that iconic IDM bouncing ball sound. The ability to dial in the effects probability makes this incredibly useful for complex, generative, glitchy drums or to add some interest and variation to more melodic parts in more ambient stuff
