MANIFEST AUDIO MIDI TOOLS FOR LIVE 12
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.

Metaflux by Manifest Audio
Up top we find the chance of randomisation, the randomisation alsorithm applied, and the base pitch of non-randomised notes when note randomisation is below 100%. In the centre, the large dial offers the algorithm-based chance parameter; with Luck enabled, there are currently 48 note choices available in the selected pitch range between C1 and C5, and will be output in the current scale and key. Below this we can specify the number of voices for chord generation.
At upper left, we have the minimum pitch and velocity output, and at upper right, the maximum pitch and velocity output. If desired all output can be constrained to specific rhythms via Euclidean options in the lighter coloured on the sides below the ranges: at left, the total number of steps at the current grid count, and the numbers of those that will be filled; at right, step fill pattern rotation, direction, and inversion.
The dials below the bottom govern the chance of velocity randomising with the default velocity set below, density of notes in the pattern, and note length, with base grid percentage as the default length set below. Velocity and lengthare calculated per-step rather than per-note. Between the base velocity and length values, you find our new count masking : set which notes will be output by count, offset the count start, or invert the count pattern.

Important Information
December 2024 – Metapath, Metaflux, Metarhythm, Fluctuator, and Inebriator all get improved scale handling with dedicated scale awareness toggle.
To install MIDI Tools, first double-click to decompress the ZIP archive it arrived in. !
In Live’s Browser, navigate to the User Library in Places
Then find the MIDI Tools folder located there. If you don’t see a folder called MIDI Tools in your User Library, simply create it yourself.
We’d advice adding two subfolders for Generators and Transformers for neatness.
Finally, drag our Generators to the Generators subfolder and our Transformers to the Transformers subfolder
Live should automatically detect them and within the next few minutes, they should appear in the dropdown chooser of Live’s Generators or Transformers in the corresponding tab of any MIDI Clip’s Note Editor.
PLEASE NOTE: Once installed MIDI Tools, since they are not Max MIDI Effects, cannot be dragged and dropped onto MIDI tracks: they can only be loaded by the Generator and Transformer tabs of the MIDI clip editor.
