Reviews
MIDI Toolset 001 by MFA highly recommend!
I absolutely love MIDI Toolset 001 by Manifest Audio. I have come up with so many different variations of bass lines and drum patterns. Definitely one of my favorite purchases so far!
The tool kit was amazing. It's a definite cure for writer's block. I would recommend this product. I've been using the generators, then applying transformers. Videos giving tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated.
The bar is high!
MIDI Toolset 001
MIDI Generators
The four MIDI Generators, Metaflux, Metarhythm, Metapath, and Metasketch, create melodic, rhythmic, and gestural MIDI content from scratch. They use seven randomisation algorithms, polyrhythmic controls, drawn gestures, and melodic contour tools to produce new musical ideas.
MIDI Toolset 002
MIDI Transformers
The eight MIDI Transformers modify existing sequences in a variety of ways, from imposing Euclidean rhythmic patterns and randomised octave transpositions to adjusting per-note shuffle timing, note ties, velocity, and pitch-relative chance. All tools are scale aware.
MIDI Toolset 001
MIDI Transformers
The eight MIDI Transformers process and reshape existing MIDI sequences in Live 12, covering rhythmic patterning, randomised transpositions, shuffle timing, velocity, and more. Tools include Euclidifier, Fluctuator, Inebriator, Mutator, Octavator, Swinger, Tether, and Tilter.

INSTALLATION
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 (2). 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.

In Depth
MIDI Tools are an innovative new category of creative devices available in Live 12. Designed by Ableton Certified Trainer Noah Pred to accelerate workflow, enhance creativity, and access new musical ideas, our inaugural MIDI Toolset includes four MIDI Generators and eight MIDI Transformers.
Harness the power of seven different randomization algorithms to generate compelling new melodies and chords with Metaflux, take polyrhythmic expression to the limit with Metarhythm, intuitively draw complex gestures with Metasketch, and carve new melodic contours with Metapath.
Then take things further and transform your MIDI by imposing unique rhythmic patterning on existing sequences with Euclidifier, adding dramatic variations with Fluctuator or more subtle changes with Inebriator, harness note activation to rapidly generate pattern variations with Mutator, use Octavator for randomized transpositions by octave, use Swinger for randomized per-note shuffle timing, Tether to randomly add note ties, or apply Tilter to adjust chance, velocity, and length on a key-scaled, pitch-relative basis.
All MIDI Tools are scale aware and Info View annotated to seamlessly enhance your creative experience.
PLEASE NOTE: MIDI Tools in general are not yet supported on Push 3 — even Live 12’s included MIDI Tools do not work on it — but as soon as they are supported, we will work to ensure ours are compatible.

Designed by Ableton Certified Trainer Noah Pred, Utility Boost now contains eight workflow enhancement devices:
- Global Hub to control or randomize Scale, Key, and other crucial parameters for multiple Manifest Audio devices throughout a set simultaneously.
- Mix Scoper to compare your output signal to a pink noise curve – with or without audible pink noise.
