Pathways is a sample-based Max for Live instrument that allows users to draw paths (made of small points) for sample playback over a spectrogram interface.
The playback path (in blue) is based on which points were drawn first to last, allowing for all kinds of linear and nonlinear playback possibilities. It offers two playback modes that support a variable rate of playback (and freezing) without altering the pitch.
This opens up options for approaching time-stretching and filtering.
The position of a playhead on the spectrogram (orange lines) corresponds to the filtering and position of the sample that is being played by that voice. This gives users an intuitive understanding of a complex approach to playback.

Sanja Steflitsch (verified owner) –
it has been said elsewhere, but I will say it here too.. Pathways is an innovative and fun sonic transformation tool offered at a charming price tag. You can’t go wrong. Dillon certainly is a M4L wizard!
Fabio Pirlo (verified owner) –
Really impressed. This M4L product can produce very interesting sounds. Everybody knows how much important is the sample you use in granular synthesis, but even using “dull” or “opaque” samples, the results can be stunning!
