The UAD Auto-Tune Remote 0.1 for Max4Live is a hardware integration device created by Demian. It serves as a communication bridge between the Ableton Live software and the external Auto-Tune plugin used on UAD Apollo interfaces. The device allows for meticulous pitch correction within Ableton sessions by tuning the audio tracks to match the project’s key and scale settings. It is compatible with Ableton Live version 12.0.1 and Max version 8.6.0.
This enhancement tool primarily functions to modulate the Auto-Tune plugin on the UAD Apollo interface, aligning the pitch of vocal recordings with the Ableton project’s settings. While not all scales are currently mapped, this issue is projected to be addressed in future versions.
The device installation is user-friendly and the addition to the Ableton Live environment allows users to experience enhanced precision in the audio production process. Despite being in the initial version, the UAD Auto-Tune Remote 0.1 presents a valuable tool for both novice and professional users in Ableton Live audio production.
The device also adds convenience by allowing precise control over pitch correction without having to switch back and forth between different software windows. Furthermore, it offers manual control over the speed of pitch correction and a ‘Humanize’ function to allow for natural pitch variations on sustained notes, ensuring the vocalist’s emotive qualities are evident in the final production.
To further illustrate, envision a live performance with a structure where key changes occur between sections. Transitioning between each section, the UAD Auto-Tune Remote instantly adjusts to the new key, providing continuous support to the performance without missing a beat. This device provides unprecedented control over the UAD Auto-Tune plugin within the Ableton Live environment, making it an indispensable tool for performers and producers who seek to maintain high standards of pitch correction and vocal processing.

Murmure 1.0, developed by losgallos, is a ‘non-transparent’ compressor implemented as a Max4Live device for use within Ableton Live. Moving away from the conventional idea of preserving sound nuances, it embellishes sound processing with its unpredictable and characteristic compression techniques.
Principally, Murmure 1.0 works as a sound design tool rather than a traditional compressor, distorting and mutating incoming sounds to achieve soliciting glitch effects. It operates using an innovative pressure effect, which shapes the audio, providing unique, glitchy textures and bringing about rhythmic distortions. Its unpredictability supports a dynamic working relationship between the user and the device, prompting real-time interaction and adjustments.
Contrary to numerous Max4Live devices, Murmure does not demand any licensing, rendering it immediately accessible to the user. The plugin is designed to be compatible with Ableton Live version 11.3.22 and Max version 8.5.6. The detailed documentation regarding Murmure 1.0 can be found in the Max4Live online library for a more in-depth understanding of the device’s functionalities and creative potential, enabling optimum utilization of its creative capacities.
Users can also employ Ableton Live’s native devices to complement Murmure’s effects, for instance, Ping Pong Delay to enhance the glitched transients across the stereo field, or Grain Delay for pitch-shifting fragments of the affected audio, enriching the texture further.
Indeed, Murmure 1.0 defies the norms of traditional compression, bringing onboard the exciting aspect of unpredictability and out-of-the-box sonic exploration.

Remote2Mod 1.0 is a utility device developed for Max4Live by Finleguin. This tool facilitates the integration of classic modulation devices, such as Low Frequency Oscillators (LFOs), with the latest Ableton Live 12 modulation mode. Designed to convert remote control signals into modulation signals, Remote2Mod 1.0 can interact with older modulators that aren’t natively compatible with Live 12’s modulation system.
The implementation of Remote2Mod 1.0 occurs in three simple steps. Firstly, the user maps a modulator to one of Remote2Mod’s inputs, effectively giving the device control over the chosen modulator. Secondly, the corresponding output from Remote2Mod is mapped to any desired modulation area, offering a flexible approach to sonic creativity. Finally, the user retains complete control over the audio output with the aid of smooth integration features.
Since its release on April 11, 2024, Remote2Mod 1.0 has received positive reviews averaging four stars and has been downloaded 37 times, demonstrating its effectiveness in the music production community. To utilize this device, users can download Remote2Mod 1.0 directly from the developer’s MaxForLive library page.
