REVIEWS
SOUNDONSOUND MAGAZINE “If you’ve grown tired of switching back and forth between Live MIDI clips trying to match note positions or figure out which note is the clunkier in separate harmony tracks, Chaos Culture MIDI MultiClip Editor from Isotonik Studios will pay for itself the first time you use it”
JOSHUA CASPER “I am pretty impressed by this device. I usually try to get free Max patches for Max Patch Mondays, but this is just too good not to share!”

MIDI MultiClip Editor by Chaos Culture
LIVE 11 USERS PLEASE NOTE: Any MPE data in a clip will get erased when you edit it in “MultiClip / MIDI Modulators.” It definitely runs in Live 11 and can do everything just as Live 9 and 10 can. It’s just not a device designed to use MPE.
Its a MIDI MultiClip Editor for Ableton Live!
Welcome to MultiClip MIDI Editor, a MaxforLive device that allows you to edit multiple MIDI clips in Ableton Live simultaneously in the same window!
A lot of workflow mechanics are similar to Lives MIDI editor, you won’t have to relearn anything, in fact this is probably the easiest learning curve of any device yet…
Whilst we await eagerly any news of Ableton Live 10 we’ve thought of a few new feature improvements and implemented them within the MultiClip MIDI Editor such as a second pencil tool, which creates a longer note instead of a couple of shorter ones and the ability to hide pitches that aren’t included in a specific scale.
With the settings configuration so you can save all your own preferences your workflow just got boosted to light speed!
And with the latest version we’ve also enhanced the MIDI Editor functionality taking our inspiration from other DAW’s like Cubase and Logic. Simply select some notes and use your chosen MIDI Modulator:
- Transform loop: Loops all or only selected notes. The time selection, which can be changed in the timeline, can be used to use as a reference. Pitch and velocity can be offset per iteration
- Transform stretch: Stretches all or selected notes by multiplying or dividing their positions and lengths to a custom value. The note lengths can be ignored.
- Quantize time: Quantizes all or selected notes to the current grid. Additionally to the default quantization note end positions or lengths (relative to start position) can be quantized as well. Amounts and rounding rules can be set to minimize quantization errors.
- Quantize scale: If a scale is active (settings) the pitch of all or selected notes will be quantized to fit the scale.
- Chord inversion: This modulator will go through chord inversions to get as close as possible to a custom MIDI pitch value. This also works with microtonal scales.
- Utility pitch limit: All or only the selected notes will be transposed (per octave by default) to fit into a custom pitch range. Microtonal scales are also supported.
- Utility velocity limit: Limits the velocity of all or selected notes to a custom range. Curve options are available as well.
- Utility seamless loop: Finds notes that are overlapping with the start and end positions of the clip or the time selection and copies them to the other side to create a seamless loop.
- Selection (Pitch / Velocity / Clip / Random): The Selection modulators will select or deselect notes. You can replace, add, subtract and intersect similar to picture manipulating applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
The device runs in Ableton Live 9, 10, and 11. Live 11 users should be aware that any MPE data in a clip will be erased when editing within MultiClip, so it is not recommended for MPE-based workflows.
MIDI MultiClip Editor lets you select multiple MIDI clips in Ableton Live and view and edit them all simultaneously within a single piano roll window. It fills a long-standing gap in Live’s native MIDI editing capabilities.
Yes, this is a Max for Live device, so you will need either Ableton Live Suite or a separate Max for Live licence alongside Ableton Live Standard. Max for Live must be installed and active.
Not at all. The interface and workflow mechanics closely mirror Live’s own MIDI editor, so if you are already comfortable editing MIDI in Live, you will feel at home straight away. The learning curve is minimal.
Yes, the device includes extras such as a second pencil tool that extends beyond Live’s standard MIDI editing options, giving you more flexibility when drawing and arranging notes across multiple clips.
The device allows you to work with multiple selected MIDI clips within the one editor window, making it far more efficient to align, compare, and edit parts that would otherwise require you to switch between clips individually.
After downloading, drag the Max for Live device file into your Ableton Live User Library or directly onto a MIDI track. From there it will be available to use immediately within your session.
Important Information
Version 1.8.101
– Device was not responding while using the latest Max version.
Version 1.8.99 Multiclip and MIDI Modulators
– Performance improvements, mostly regarding the song position which is now being rendered as a seperate object.
– Added a velocity fade modulator, which scales the previously existing velocities to form a fade in or out effect instead of assigning brand new values. Use the time selection in the timebar to manually set the position and length of the fade.
– Modulators will now automatically preview. This feature is activated by default, but you can deactivate it in the settings and use a cmd click on the “apply” button to manually preview the modulators instead just like before.
– Small quality of life improvements such as support for keyboard with a number pad and the ability to use the delete key along with the backspace key.
Version 1.8.97 MIDI Multiclip Editor – Released 6th April 2017
– Arpeggiator modulator has been added. More information about it can be found in the video – CLICK HERE
– Modulators that are using randomly generated numbers are now working with a seed that can be renewed manually.
– Join Modulator has been added. It will let you combine notes together if the space between them is within a customizable threshold. The join tool in the tool bar will always connect the selected notes regardless of their positions and lengths.
– The Chord string modulator now includes an interleaved mode to apply the effect on multiple clips as if the notes were located on the same clip.
– Modulators will now get canceled when the window gets closed to prevent the notes in Live from not changing back to their original states.
– MIDI Editor Small bugfixes and improvements.
V1.0.0 – Initial Release – June 2017
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.
