Both Functions and MiniSteps devices feature a pair of simple MIDI and audio effects, mainly designed as control sources for Ableton Live parameters and external instruments.
Control sources available in Functions are set from two editable waveforms, both played as an LFO or a complex envelope that is triggered by incoming MIDI notes. MiniSteps offers a different approach, allowing control values to be set from its three independent eight-step sequencers. Once defined, these sources and their overall behaviour can range from absolute precision to total randomness, and everything in between.
Parameters are then distributed at will across five output layers, assigned by individual Map buttons, or linked to other devices using any of the available MIDI message formats. These are particularly useful when working with instruments like Sampler, Operator, Meld or Wavetable, all of which offer a versatile modulation section for very specific parameters that otherwise would not support MIDI mapping nor clip automation.
Depending on what external instrument or device is receiving the information, sources can be formatted as:
V1.0.0 – Initial Release – June 2024
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.

Have had a lot of fun playing around with this lovely set of tools, very quick to get to grips with and start getting interesting results which is exactly what I want from a creative tool. Already firm favourite and I can see me using this A LOT in the future so great value.
