The Drifted Circle – Generative Sequencer is a Max for Live MIDI effect designed for Ableton Live, leveraging the shift register principle to create controllably random melodic sequences. Users can define a ‘Notes Set’ of eight pitches per octave, which the device randomly processes through three distinct output modes: ‘Last’, ‘Octave’, and ‘New’. Each mode can be fine-tuned with adjustable probability faders, allowing for dynamic and varied musical phrases. The ‘Size’ parameter governs the length of loops, and engaging the ‘โˆž’ mode overlays continuous motifs, enhancing its utility as a loop machine.

Additionally, the Drifted Buddy extension allows users to create complex polyrhythmic melodies, enriching compositions further. The sequencer’s ability to blend randomness with harmonic control provides a versatile tool for anyone looking to explore generative music within the Ableton environment.

The Probably 1.0 Max4Live device is a free MIDI effect designed to introduce randomness and variation into MIDI patterns within Ableton Live. Created by the developer roygbiv, this device leverages a probability control parameter that allows users to dictate the likelihood of MIDI notes passing through. By positioning Probably 1.0 before an instrument in the signal chain, users can create dynamic and engaging patterns where notes trigger based on the set probability. Additionally, the device supports networking capabilities by allowing multiple instances to either send or receive probability values, enabling global control of randomness across MIDI tracks. Ideal for live performances and studio sessions, Probably 1.0 offers a unique way to break repetitive sequences and inject fresh elements into compositions.

The MIDIMUSE 1.1 is a Max for Live MIDI Effect device that serves as a contemporary adaptation of the original Triadex Muse sequencer, renowned for its unique sound and sequencing capabilities since 1969. Developed by bubbleandsquawk, this tool converts simple square wave sounds into MIDI note data, enhancing the ability to sequence any instrument or VST within the Ableton Live environment. Key features include integrated synchronization with Live’s clock, the option to reverse sequences, and a quantizer with 14 selectable scale types to maintain harmonic alignment. Ideal for both straightforward melodic creation and complex algorithmic compositions, the MIDIMUSE 1.1 bridges vintage aesthetics with modern production needs, supporting a seamless artistic workflow.

Subdivisions 1.0 is a Max for Live device designed for advanced MIDI manipulation within Ableton Live 12. It empowers users to alter various note attributes such as pitch, velocity, timing, and duration with an intuitive interface. Key features include the manipulation of MIDI notes based on specific grid subdivisions (1/4, 1/8, 1/16, etc.), facilitating complex rhythmic patterns like swing and groove.

The device supports three operational modes: Relative, Absolute, and Randomize, allowing for context-sensitive adjustments, fixed shifts, or random variations. Users can easily delete, mute, or apply chance-based alterations to notes, enhancing rhythmic dynamics without complicating the workflow. Subdivisions also aids in harmonizing MIDI clips by quantizing note timings and ensuring sync between multiple elements.

Overall, Subdivisions 1.0 is a vital tool for music producers seeking to elevate MIDI programming and achieve intricate rhythmic designs.

**’Round 1.0′ by fendoap is a Max4Live device designed to transform standard MIDI sequences into dynamic and unpredictable patterns. As a MIDI effect, it allows users to introduce randomness and variation into their MIDI inputs by strategically thinning out note signals based on a selected sequence. The device features controls for ‘step’ to customize sequence lengths and ‘random’ to adjust the degree of variability. The unique ‘Rand’ button generates fresh rhythmic patterns, ensuring that no two outputs are the same. Compatible with Ableton Live 12.0.5 and built with Max version 8.6.2, ‘Round’ serves as an invaluable tool for live performances or during studio sessions, ideal for both novice and experienced users looking to enhance their electric music compositions. By embracing elements of randomness, ‘Round 1.0’ breathes life into predictable loops, turning them into evolving soundscapes that capture listener engagement.**
