Distro 1.0 is a Max4Live device designed for Ableton Live that revolutionizes MIDI note distribution by enabling a single incoming MIDI signal to be divided across up to ten different instruments within an Instrument Rack. This functionality, whether implemented in a random or round-robin sequence, enriches musical expression by transforming typically linear MIDI sequences into dynamic, layered sounds. Distro facilitates using both internal soft synths and external hardware, effectively converting monophonic instruments into polyphonic setups by allowing multiple instances of instruments to respond to incoming MIDI notes. Integrated seamlessly with Ableton Push, Distro offers tactile control for real-time adjustments. Setup is straightforward, with included templates that help users navigate the complexities of MIDI programming and sound design.
