Split Wizard 1.0 by OSTINSOLO is a Max4Live device designed to facilitate advanced stem isolation within Ableton Live. The device employs Hybrid Transformer Demucs technology to separate audio samples into up to six stems including vocals, drums, bass, guitar, or piano. This is accomplished using seven distinct models fit for targeted audio segmentation, coupled with the option of GPU processing to enhance efficiency. The device requires a preliminary installation process, followed by the selection of the desired model from the provided list. Upon the completion of processing, stems can be imported back into Ableton Live for further treatment.
In terms of functionality, Split Wizard 1.0 offers a menu for setting model names, controls for vocal/multi mode status adjustment, and segment processing length control. The segments divider is particularly useful when working with limited memory, as it subdivides audio into smaller chunks for individual processing, thus bypassing memory limitations. The various models available in Split Wizard 1.0 each cater to specific audio separation requirements and quality considerations.
It should be noted that the legal implications of using stem separation technology must be considered on the user end. The potential misuse of Split Wizard 1.0 for copyright infringement needs to be prevented, and users are encouraged to strictly adhere to the law and respect intellectual property rights.
Despite this, the software proves highly beneficial for both novice and expert music producers and audio engineers, providing a boost in music production quality and flexibility. However, Split Wizard 1.0 is currently compatible only with OSX systems and Windows 10/11.

LDM Design’s Chance Pack 4 is a pack of ten devices for Max4Live that inject unexpected elements into your MIDI streams. It allows MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) data to pass seamlessly, meaning each note possesses its individual dynamics, pitch, and timbre. This enhances the complexity and nuance of your creations. The devices in the pack come with functions for note alterations, quantizing velocity values, filtering, and triggering clusters of notes. They can randomize based on velocity or pitch bands, adding novel characteristics to your Ableton Live sessions. The devices are also designed to integrate seamlessly within the Ableton Live environment and can be controlled easily using Push or any MIDI controller.

The Tremulant 1.0 is a Max4Live audio effect device designed for audio manipulation in Ableton Live. It is developed by ldmdevices and introduces harmonic tremolo through LFO modulation of audio levels. The device utilizes highpass and lowpass filters with a central frequency notch, distinguishing it from traditional volume modulating tremolo. Additional features include noise within modulation and an optional channel flip, generating a stereo effect. This device was specifically designed for Ableton Live version 10.1.18 and Max 8.1.5. Despite its commercial availability since May 4, 2024, Tremulant 1.0 has remained un-updated, exemplifying its initial excellence and stability.
The application of Tremulant 1.0 to a smooth-sounding electric piano track in Ableton Live results in a unique harmonic tremolo effect. Users can tweak the highpass and lowpass filter frequencies, change the modulation speed through the ‘Rate’ knob and control the effect’s intensity with the ‘Depth’ knob. A ‘Noise’ dial introduces grit to the modulation while the ‘Flip’ switch can be used for configuring stereo image enhancements by reversing one channel’s phase.
The device offers a fresh approach to tremolo effects, providing a creative tool for sound-based artists, music producers and live performers that can be integrated into Ableton Live setups, enhancing the quality of their audio output and offering unexpected depth to their productions.
