Modular Series LE Part ONE
Previously only available as part of the Modular Series XL, the Modular Series LE Part’s ONE to FOUR consists of MaxforLive devices dedicated to controlling Ableton Live via the Live Object Model .
Created in conjunction with MYR these devices really focus one Live’s API and what you can control, something no VST is going to be able to do!
Now updated for Live 11, these devices generally do one thing and do it well, you can use them by installing the .alp file from your download and drag then drop them from the packs section of Ableton Lives Browser.
Intended to appeal to the “Ronseal” principle (it’s a brand of outdoor varnish here in the UK) these devices do exactly what they say on the tin!
They’re designed in some cases yo focus on the currently playing clip within a track so will automatically update their focus when a new clip is launched, you can then MIDI Map the controls within the device to give you control over your live performance.
MODULAR SERIES LE PART ONE CONTENTS
CLIP GAIN
This device started out life with my frustration of trying to gain stage each of my audio clips ready for a DJ performance, my levels were all over the place after importing different tracks into Live and I wanted to make my changes at the clip level rather than having to ride the volume fader on the fly whilst performing in Session View.
With a simple MIDI Mappable Fader as the main control we’ve also added user configurable buttons for adding or misusing from the current dB value in any amount that you choose to define.
CLIP PITCH
Fingers crossed you’ve got the Ronseal principle by now, as with the Clip Gain device this exposes the Clip Pitch section of the currently playing clip to allow fine control by MIDI with both a dial and various buttons to increase or decrease the pitch on the fly.
CLIP NUDGE
Probably one of my most useful devices when trying to use Ableton Live alongside Serato in a Hybrid DJ / Live performance set up.
Regardless of how well the clips in Serato and Live are beat gridded there’s always occasions when one or another needs a nudge and this device gives MIDI mappable buttons to give the currently playing clip a minute (or massive you decide) nudge in either direction.
Particularly useful as the Track Delay isn’t available via the Live Object Model or MIDI mapping as adjusting it on the fly could lead to stability problems in Live.

Frequently Asked Questions
The pack has been updated for compatibility with Ableton Live 11 and above. You will need a version of Live that supports Max for Live, so Live Suite or a Live Standard licence with a separate Max for Live licence is required.
Yes, these are Max for Live devices so you will need either Ableton Live Suite or Ableton Live Standard with Max for Live enabled. They will not function without it.
Simply install the included .alp file and the devices will appear in the Packs section of Ableton Live’s browser, from where you can drag and drop them directly into your session.
Because these devices communicate directly with Ableton Live’s internal API via the Live Object Model, giving you control over clip-level parameters that no VST can access. They’re built specifically to interact with Live in ways that third-party plugins simply cannot.
Several of the devices are designed to focus on the currently playing clip within a track and will respond automatically as clips change, making them ideal for live performance and dynamic session control.
This is Part One of four standalone parts that make up the Modular Series LE, previously only available bundled within the Modular Series XL. Each part can be purchased individually, giving you the flexibility to pick up only what you need.
Important Information
V1.0.0 – Initial Release
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.
