Turing Machine is a MIDI Tools version of the Music Thing Modular Turing Machine sequencer. Its ingenious design uses a randomness and a 16-bit shift register to generate pitches and rhythmic patterns. What makes the Turing Machine so special is its “big knob” that allows you to control the amount of randomness that is used to generate notes. With the big knob at the center (12 o’clock), the resulting notes will be completely random. Turning the knob left or right reduces the amount of randomness. This makes it great for generating variations on a melody or beat.
This device takes advantage of Ableton Live’s new Scales feature, which means that the generated melodies will remain in key.
TURING MACHINE FEATURES
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.
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.
Initial Release – April 2024
