Sabotage by YRAKI

$11.00
Normally, MIDI sequencers are driven by a fixed master tempo - what if the sequencer itself could drive that tempo instead?

That's the radical concept behind YRAKI's new Max For Live device SABOTAGE.

Rather than reacting to a fixed BPM, SABOTAGE flips the script, as it’s designed to deliberately alter or interfere with the normal operation of the master tempo.

This groundbreaking approach introduces a novel paradigm in music production practices, giving you unprecedented control over your project’s pulse and encouraging the exploration of unconventional sound design techniques.

However, users should exercise caution, as improper application could potentially destabilize (or sabotage) a project.

    Idea is cool, and works flawless in realtime. But plugin’ parameters (tempo curve etc) just does not save in Live’ project. So, it’s may turn out to be unusable in some scenarios. That’s why two stars.
    I will be glad to change rating after improvement.

Sabotage by YRAKI

SABOTAGE is a unique Max For Live device made by YRAKI that redefines the role of master tempo in music production.

While traditional sequencers are typically governed by a fixed master tempo, SABOTAGE is engineered to disrupt and transform that tempo, encouraging the exploration of less conventional methods and new forms of musical expression.

While automating master tempo in Ableton has been possible before, SABOTAGE expands this concept by providing more flexibility. It includes adjustable tempo ranges that allow for precise control over tempo shifts.

Users can choose from two sequencing modes: AUTO, which syncs with Ableton’s transport, and MIDI, which triggers tempo changes through incoming MIDI notes. Additionally, you can adjust the probability of tempo shifts and use features like deviation and interpolation for more refined and nuanced tempo changes.

One of the device’s unique features is its quantization mode. When enabled, this mode snaps tempo values to the closest musical division of the initial BPM. This ensures that tempo variations remain rhythmically coherent.

In essence, SABOTAGE transforms the BPM from a fixed parameter into a flexible, evolving element.

It’s like producing on the grid – but with a grid that’s constantly morphing.

With SABOTAGE, the BPM is no longer a constant – it’s a creative tool.
