Trifecta by Manifest Audio
Trifecta by Manifest Audio is a modular Max for Live MIDI sequencer designed to build evolving, interwoven patterns that feel both intentional and unexpected.
Each of its three independent strands generates rhythm and melody with seven editable lanes: Gate, dual Note Choice, Velocity, Chance, Length, Offset Delay, and assignable Control Change (CC). From sparse pulses to dense harmonic webs, Trifecta lets you craft, combine, or collide streams of MIDI information into cohesive or chaotic musical structures.
Every lane supports Euclidean sequencing, per-lane loop lengths, inversion, and direction. Randomization isn’t just a button — it’s woven into the core of each lane, allowing you to nudge patterns into variation or throw them into controlled disarray. Notes can be learned via MIDI, automated, or modulated in real time. Each strand can be routed to the track or any of 64 global destinations via X-Relay.
The way these strands interact defines Trifecta’s edge:
- Combine merges all three into a polyphonic output.
- Converse lets strands fill the spaces left by the others — no overlap, just interplay.
- Count cycles between strands with directional and elliptical control.
- Chaos introduces probabilistic strand selection, with or without silence.
Strands can play forward, backward, or elliptical. Each has its own reset interval and delay shaping. Global quantization, shuffle, and output modes (polyphonic, mono, legato) adapt to your composition style, whether that’s structured techno, ambient drift, or algorithmic IDM.
Features:
- Max for Live MIDI sequencer with 3 independent strands
- 7 editable lanes per strand with full randomization
- Euclidean gate/note tools, inversion, and rotation
- Scale locking with global/local key modes
- Combine, Converse, Count, Chaos playback systems
- Route strands to main track or 64 X-Relay destinations
- Push-ready layout and visual feedback
- Drums mode for mapped rack sequencing
- Global delay, shuffle, and note learning options
Want to generate long-evolving arpeggios? Use elliptical Count mode with offset delay and chance-based note playback. Want polymetric drum fills that never repeat? Engage Drums mode and send each strand to a separate rack lane. Need modulation? Assign the CC lane to a filter, FX chain, or external hardware.
Trifecta is designed for composers, improvisers, and sound designers who want the control of step sequencing with the fluidity of generative systems. It’s a powerful hub for MIDI expression, equally at home in live sets, modular environments, or studio workflows.
If you think in patterns, and live for evolution, Trifecta is your new brain.

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.
