  1. Kirk Markarian

    A fantastic Max For Live Device that allows for a beautifully unpredictable, yet smooth, LFO output. I’m currently using it as a part of a lofi vibrato/tape-warping sound. It’s gorgeous!

  2. Markus Saure

    Really a great playground!
    Modulationson steroids, great mapping options.
    It’s already landed in my standard start template!
    Well done!
    Thank you for the great work!

  3. Bernardo Kerr

    Excellent M4L modulation device with a lot of control available. Strikes a powerful balance between regularity and more chaotic behaviour.

  4. hjvarfjell

    A very fun modulation device to play around with. You can go from calm and controlled to absolutely wild and crazy whenever you feel like it. Awesome. Good work!

  5. Christopher Day

    Really clever and very versatile M4L device, has already become a go-to for creative modulation. I really love the interface in particular, just enough depth to get into the weeds quickly but extremely approachable. Just so inviting to get lost in, amazing work!

Knob Studio by Alessandro aylesim Miracapillo

Expand your mapping experimentation with evolving waveforms.

Knob Studio is a Max for Live device for Ableton that gives you new ways to experiment with parameter mapping. It uses customizable waveforms and reading heads to create evolving modulations for your sounds.

Here’s what Knob Studio offers:

Waveform Section: This is where you create the waveform that controls your mappings. You can combine different function types to make simple or complex shapes.

Function Types:

  • Waveform: Choose basic shapes like sine or square, adjust cycles, speed, and amplitude.
  • R Function: Add controlled randomness to specific areas.
  • Ramp: Create custom transitions between values.
  • Knob/External: Set fixed values or map to external controls.

Reading Head Modes:

  • Manual: Position the reading head yourself or map it to an external control.
  • LFO: Let the reading head move automatically with adjustable shapes and settings.
  • Envelope Follower: Use your audio signal to drive the reading head movement.
  • Randomization: Need inspiration? Hit the dice button to activate 2-4 functions randomly. Choose how they’re distributed: spaced out, overlapping, or completely free.

Mapping Area: This is where you connect Knob Studio’s output to Live’s parameters. You can see the resulting waveforms in real-time and adjust global settings like smoothness and jitter.

Knob Studio is designed for both precise control and unexpected discoveries. Whether you’re fine-tuning a specific sound or looking for new ideas, it gives you a different approach to shaping your music.

If you enjoy diving deep into sound design or just want a new way to add movement to your tracks, Knob Studio can help you find new possibilities within Ableton Live.

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.

Version 1.0 – Released 6th August 2024
