The Reduce device subtracts notes from your clip by muting them. It is a quick and easy way to reduce the busy-ness of a clip. I made it after finding that I wanted a density knob on all of my generators and realized that density reduction is a great general-purpose transformation. Truthfully, this is something that Pattern Transform can do (along with a whole lot of other things), but this transformation deserves a simple, easy-to-use dedicated device.
The device uses a modified version of the Euclidean algorithm to control which notes are muted. With the Clustering dial at 0%, the device uses the Euclidean Reduce 2 algorithm and selects the notes evenly. Clustering allows you to shift the muting pattern so that notes that neighbor one another are more likely to be muted.
Initial Release – November 2024
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. 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.
