Phase Pattern is a rhythm and melody generator for Ableton Live. Basically, you bend time and that creates a rhythm. Got it? It’s great for “bouncing ball” rhythms like on Monolake’s Toku. If you want, you can quantize the rhythm to the MIDI Clip’s grid, and you can also modulate the pitch and velocity over the course of the rhythmic pattern.

PHASE PATTERN FEATURES

Quantized or Unquantized Rhythms: The patterns this device produces don’t always conform to the MIDI clip’s grid. Sometimes that’s what you want, but not always. So this device has a Quantize button that will lock the notes it creates to the MIDI clip’s grid.

Scale Aware: Live 12 introduced a new scales feature that allows instruments and MIDI clips to be fixed to a specific scale. Phase Pattern supports this new feature, which makes its algorithmic melodies surprisingly musical.

Theme Support: Full support for Live’s color themes so that the device matches the look and feel of your Live set.
