LayerLab is a Max for Live instrument designed for generating one-shot sounds through stochastic sample layering.
Just load a folder of sounds, trigger a MIDI note, and hear layers unfold in unpredictable ways.
You control how samples are selected and layered across 4 independent slots, adjusting parameters like sample position, playback latency, and speed, either tape-style (where speed affects pitch) or with time stretching (keeping pitch intact while altering duration). Additional controls shape panning, dynamic balance (volume relative to other layers, not gain), and more.
The XTRA window unlocks more tweaks, including playback direction (forward/reverse), LP and HP filtering, time stretching options, and L/R phase inversion.
Everything can be randomized in one click or fine-tuned via a matrix, where you can select which parameters to randomize or reset and set deviation amounts for controlled variation.
Important: this device doesn’t store presets. So record everything and remove it from your project once you’ve captured sounds you like.
Stretch it, push it, make it your own. Let me know if you have any questions by clicking Contact Us in the header.

An easy to use device, which creates surprising results, randomly, but they also can be edited

I saw that instrument in promo and i watched the video prensentation and i was amazed ! i said immediatly : ”i will buy this instrument for sure !!!”.
I think it’s a really well made instrument. Cool to work with and expremly powerful for creating sounds and good for sound design. i hav not used it a lot yet,
but it’s certain i will in the future and i will be happy. This worth the price and i must say that i would have paid more than the price it was (around 12 pound Sterling) That’ sall i have to say. Thanx for having made this wonderful instrument. Wish bests !
:>)))

Absolutely amazing to give new life to all my samples. Came up with so many interesting textures and ideas, ear candy etc. already. So much fun to just explore and try out stuff with different sample folders. full recommendation!

Easy to use and with a little experimenting / fine tuning, you can get some really useful and unexpected results – highly recommended, as are all of the YRAKI devices.
