Deform 1.0 is an analog multiband distortion plugin developed by iFeature for Ableton Live environment. This Max4Live device combines analog warmth and meticulous sound sculpting ability, offering versatile sound manipulation. It provides both multiband and singleband modes, allowing for granular control over distortion processes. Housing 12 distinct distortion types, it arms producers with a comprehensive toolkit for complex and textured soundscapes.
The device frontruns a unique feature – seamless crossfades, which help producers blend multiple distortion types fluidly. Additionally, Deform 1.0 integrates an audio-reactive particle visualizer that translates sonic nuances visually in real-time, providing an aesthetic representation of sound manipulation.
The software safeguards audio dynamics by integrating a built-in clipper that ensures the signal remains within a desirable range, preventing unwanted distortion artifacts. Other features include solo functions for low, mid, and high-frequency bands, both pre and post-gain adjustments, and a dry/wet mix balance.
Compatible with Ableton Live 12.0.15 and Max 8.6.4, Deform 1.0 is available for commercial licensing and offers detailed spectrum view for precise frequency analysis. The modular approach to sound design that Deform enables reflects a commitment by iFeature to provide tools that push the boundaries of traditional music production.

Aurora 1.0 by iFeature is a Jitter-based audio visualizer for Max4Live. Working within Ableton Live environment (version 12.0.15 and above) and leveraging the features of Max 8.6.4, it delivers real-time visualizations of your music dynamics. It uses Jitter, a visual programming environment that manipulates and explores 2D and 3D graphics, to produce visual counterparts of audio tracks. The device provides customizable frequency bands adjustable from 1 to 100, allowing meticulous visualization matching for audio tracks. Further, Aurora 1.0 offers dynamic color schemes and reactive sensitivity adjustments for personalized user experiences. It features additional visual elements, such as a bloom effect, and a flexible window setup for easy resizing and positioning in different musical environments.

Akihiko Matsumoto’s FFT Filter 1.0 is an audio device designed for use with Ableton Live, utilizing the technology of Max4Live. The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) function allows the audio device to break down audio signals into individual frequencies, providing precise control over sound manipulation. The device is particularly effective at creating steep filters, giving sound artists and producers a high level of control over sonic manipulation.
The FFT Filter 1.0 is a commercial version, compatible with Ableton Live 12.0.5 and Max 8.6.2. Despite there being no updates since its creation, the device is highly regarded for its sound processing capability. The device is primarily used as an audio effect with the aim of reshaping the capabilities of sound processing.
The device is user-friendly, allowing for diverse sound manipulation from removing or highlighting specific bands in a frequency spectrum, to automating changes in sonic texture or transition between different filter settings. This range of control makes it a valuable tool in any sound designer’s or producer’s arsenal, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the scope of audio manipulation.

The JoyDuck Audio-Triggered Envelope Sidechain 1.4 is an innovative Max4Live effects device created by JXQU3, designed to enhance dynamic mixing in Ableton Live through adjustable audio-triggered ducking. This tool comes with a high-pass filter function and threshold controls, allowing you to customize level ducking based on different audio sources’ transients. It also includes a multi-point envelope that you can adjust according to your needs, giving you full control over the shape of the transient response. Moreover, there are three different volume representations, aiming to provide an intuitive understanding of your mix.
The JoyDuck device efficiently retains input settings across multiple tracks, preserving creative workflow during the mixing stage. The oscilloscope functionality of this tool gives users a visual representation of the kick drum waveform against the envelope, useful for crafting a balanced mix. The developer also provides ongoing support through Discord and an engaging community via YouTube and Spotify. The latest 1.4 version of this device features improved color themes, clearer parameter data, and better default values.
