The Satuva-3Band 1.0 is an advanced audio effect device developed for Max4Live within the Ableton Live digital audio workstation. Utilising the gen~ object of Max MSP, this device is capable of sample-accurate signal processing, resulting in high-quality audio fidelity. The device provides three distinct distortion bands, each with its individual filter settings for enhanced sound sculpting flexibility.
In addition, Satuva-3Band equips users with independent saturation controls allowing them to modify the positive and negative sides of the saturation curve separately for each band. This is blended from two types of saturation per band for a varied range of sound expressions. Notably, the sound quality of Satuva-3Band doesn’t rely on fixed lookup tables but on mathematical equations for enhanced authenticity and responsiveness.
The device also incorporates an output DC filter to reduce noise and ensure clean, undistorted signals. The feature of soft clipping helps to manage the distortion output without negatively impacting the final audio output. Furthermore, it is designed with full automation capabilities, allowing each parameter to be automated based on the user’s preference. Future enhancements of the device aim to enhance saturation curves further and provide detailed parameter infoboxes.

The Creative Sequencer 2.0 by Metamagicum is a versatile and powerful MIDI step sequencer for the Max4Live platform. It is designed to redefine the monophonic MIDI step sequencer sphere with its ability to morph between MIDI sequences and all parameters, making it a handy amenity specifically for ambient and experimental music. This software features a freely scalable user interface (UI), allowing precision control for both mouse and touchscreen users.
At its core, the Creative Sequencer 2.0 offers up to 64 customizable steps with pitch, velocity, duration, and two sequences that users can freely assign. It embeds a MIDI randomizer, scrambler, shifter, and quantization with swing options that extend creative boundaries for melody creation, synth hooks, bass lines construction, and drum beats formulation.
Moreover, it is equipped with 32 preset slots and a morpher for smooth transitioning between saved sequences. The interface is further enhanced by the integration of Live MIDI Scaler with 88 scale presets, catering to music production without requiring an in-depth knowledge of music theory.
In addition, the sequencer comes with a ‘sample slicer’ mode that pairs with Ableton Live’s Simpler for added functionality. It supports MIDI sustain, pitch wheel, and mod wheels, while offering real-time control and mappability of critical parameters.

Gain Staging 1.0 by Vair is a precise Max4Live device for Ableton Live, crafted for managing track and clip gain settings. It offers the ability to intuitively add gain stages, reset faders, and increase mix headroom while reducing unwanted fader interference. The device simplifies level management, allowing for gain induction anywhere in your plugin chain, seamlessly resetting the fader to zero, and maintaining the track dynamics. It also adeptly manages clip gain, enabling targeted gain amendments to any selected clip. Notably, Gain Staging 1.0 sums the gain values if the final object is already set as gain. Available for free collaboration and input from users, this device integrates with Ableton Live, providing a straightforward and efficient gain management tool that potentially evolves according to user feedback. This software’s installation and usage instructions facilitate both track and clip-level adjustments for consistent audio levels throughout production, offering more room for extensive focus on music production’s critical aspects and optimizing the entire process.
