BeatSplit 1.2 is a Max4Live device developed by TeamVimu that uses artificial intelligence (AI) technology for audio sampling in Ableton Live. It effectively dissects mixed audio files, separating them into vocalist, drum, bass, and other track elements. Using Max 8.1.5 and Ableton Live 10.1.18, the software provides an intuitive interface for easy audio file processing, giving the user full control over their music in the digital audio workspace (DAW).
Upon uploading an audio file into the device, BeatSplit uses AI to separate the mixed audio file into granular components, refining it into four separate tracks. These can then be downloaded, used as samples, and remixed to create completely new compositions. BeatSplit 1.2 also comes equipped with several practical features such as tools to fix essential bugs and improve overall functionality.
Furthermore, the device offers an innovative approach to music production by allowing producers to explore new ways of remixing, transforming, and reinterpreting music. Its high-quality output capability combined with its innovative features have quickly broadened its appeal among modern music producers.

Gurgling 1.0 is a Max4Live device, designed for Ableton Live 10.1.43 and Max 8.5.7, capable of producing mysterious and multifaceted audio textures reminiscent of bubbling water. Crafted by tsugumasa320, this device allows users to manipulate three primary parameters: density, clarity, and frequency, enabling the crafting of unique audio effects for music producers and sound designers. As these parameters are adjusted, the device’s visual interface responds dynamically, emulating the fluid behavior of water bubbles. This feature serves as an intuitive guide for users to understand the impact of parameter adjustments visually.
This device is versatile due to its hybrid functionality of a synthesizer and an effect generator, stretching the limits of traditional audio synthesis. Its application ranges from music production, where it can infuse unique textural elements into tracks, to sound designing, enabling the creation of other-worldly soundscapes. An essential characteristic of the Gurgling 1.0 device is its ease of use, made possible through a highly intuitive user interface and easily downloadable content from the creator’s Gumroad page.

The Velocity Stretch 1.0 is a Max4Live device designed to enhance dynamic expression in Ableton Live MIDI performances by manipulating velocity. The software replicates the functionality of Live’s native automation envelope stretch handles. Integrated into the Ableton Live session, the tool enables stretching of MIDI note velocities, imparting dynamism into otherwise stagnant MIDI performances. It’s compatible with Ableton Live version 12.0.1 and Max version 8.6.0. The user specifies the MIDI note range, which the software then manipulates.
From a creative standpoint, Velocity Stretch 1.0 offers wide potential, making it suitable for projects from ambient drone pieces with slow, gradual velocity shifts to complex orchestral compositions requiring detailed dynamic control. Users can reshape MIDI note velocities to construct emotionally charged narratives within musical projects. Velocity Stretch 1.0 has found recognition within the Ableton Live community due to its potential to transform music expression.
A practical example includes injecting expressiveness into a structured piano chord progression. By stretching the velocity of selected notes, the otherwise flat performance becomes nuanced and emotive. Similarly, applying the tool to a chord progression for a deep house track can create a human-like quality, with specific velocity manipulation on downbeats and off-beats adding a compelling push-pull effect to the rhythm. Velocity Stretch 1.0 can simulate nuanced performance by dynamically varying velocity to a rhythmic pattern.

Reverse Verb 3.0 is a Max4Live device developed by Akihiko Matsumoto for Ableton Live. It’s a real-time reverse reverb effect plugin offering sound designers an array of innovative capabilities for audio manipulation. The software takes use of M4L reverb, enabling a live reverse playback sound and enhancing the depth of possible soundscapes. With its update, it supports Ableton Live 10.1.18, Max 8.1.5, and Apple silicon, and introduces five additional tones providing further creative possibilities.
Beyond its primary reverb function, Reverse Verb 3.0 serves a multitude of sound-oriented tasks across different signal inputs including synths, drums, and samplers. It allows users to create unique temporal effects and depths in sound output, regardless of the project type. The integration of the device into the Ableton Live workspace is effortless, allowing seamless exploration of new sonic territories.
Key features of Reverse Verb 3.0 include the ‘Mix’, ‘Size’, ‘Decay’ and ‘Tone Control’ parameters. The ‘Mix’ knob allows the blending in of the reverse reverb effect, while the ‘Size’ and ‘Decay’ knobs control the virtual space size and the reverb tail length, respectively. The ‘Tone Control’ options deliver additional texture, being enhanced with five new tones in the recent update.
This device can be used in real-time, enabling the recording of parameter manipulations and providing a dynamic, evolving sound. It can serve various applications – enriching simple pad sounds, adding intrigue to rhythmic drum loops, or crafting ethereal, ambient soundscapes for more complex productions.
