Max4Live News for May 17th 2024

Flangerr 1.0 is a Max4Live audio device designed for Ableton Live, created by the developer ‘bassdaddy’. This plugin innovatively reshapes traditional flanging, an effect obtained by merging two identical audio signals with a small, adjustable delay. The output results in a unique swept comb filter effect, creating peaks and notches in the frequency spectrum, resulting in the flanging sound.

Notably, the device’s foundational flanging mechanism allows dynamic adjustments of time delays, giving users enhanced control over the harmonic relationship of the effect. Flangerr 1.0 fosters creativity, offering utility for both melody embellishment and atmospheric soundscape creation.

A striking feature of the Flangerr 1.0 is its robust design. Its developer refrains from updates, signifying the high degree of perfection accomplished with its initial release. Furthermore, the lack of licensing requirements adds to its appeal, extending its usability to a wide range of creators.

Flangerr 1.0 is accessible for download at unnecessaryroughness.gumroad.com and can be easily integrated into the Ableton Live software, enhancing your sound setup regardless of your production expertise.

PushSliders 1.0, designed by Gross9978, is a utility tool specifically configured for Ableton Live’s Push 2/3 controllers, with a focus on expanding musical expression and enhancing live performance. It transforms the Push 2/3’s pads into eight velocity-reactive faders that can map and manipulate any element within Ableton Live. The use of velocity sensitivity in fader operation provides artistic control over music production, allowing the user to feel their way physically across parameter controls and induce a more instinctive process of musical expression. It’s essential to note that PushSliders 1.0 operates with Live version 12 and Max version 8.6.2.

The device has a ‘Map’ feature which can be used to assign the sliders to any parameter of a user’s choice within Ableton Live. This provides a unique tactile interaction with the elements in Ableton Live, where the velocity of touch determines the speed of parameter changes, yielding a distinctive musical dynamism. PushSliders 1.0 also allows for customization of the velocity response curve making it adaptable to a user’s playing style.

Speed To Midi 1.0 is a Max4Live device developed by Hayes for Ableton Live that enables the conversion of audio velocity into MIDI control. It operates through an envelope with a mappable function that activates once an audio frequency surpasses a preset threshold. As the audio speed increases, it triggers MIDI controls. The device allows dynamic control over effects such as reverb by altering parameters in response to audio intensity, giving live performances a strikingly interactive edge. Users can download the software from Hayes’ Gumroad page and integrate it into their Ableton Live projects for real-time music production. Its application in live situations allows simultaneous microphone manipulation and effect modulation, introducing creative assets that amplify audio individuality in the music production process.

Dualize 1.0 is an advanced Max4Live MIDI device by gparun that revolutionizes how arpeggios are created in Ableton Live. It combines traditional arpeggiation with an advanced dual phrase system for notably intricate sequences. Unlike standard arpeggiators, Dualize provides comprehensive control with a variety of customizable parameters such as pattern, speed, direction, repeats, note length, and a substantial transpose range of +/-24 semitones.

The standout feature of Dualize, the Doubler function, further amplifies the device’s creative possibilities by duplicating arpeggiated notes with a delay. Each of these duplicated notes can be defined by user-set delay timings, note length, and velocity, and offers the capability of transposition.

For increased complexity, Dualize also allows the output of the first Doubler note to be sent into the second Doubler, stimulating further delays and multiple transpositions. As a result, the device generates densely layered, dimensional audio effects even from simple triad inputs.

Dualize is compatible with Ableton Live version 11.3.20 and Max version 8.5.6. Understanding the core capabilities and effectively utilizing the Doubler feature can significantly elevate the sophistication of the user’s MIDI sequences.

The Talk Back Button 1.0 is a Max4Live utility tool for Ableton Live focused on optimizing microphone control. Developed by bassdaddy, the main function of this tool is to simplify microphone usage during live performances or studio sessions. It does so by enabling and disabling your microphone with just one keypress. Additionally, this tool automatically adjusts the main output volume when the mic is activated, ensuring audible talkbacks even amidst the main mix.

An attractive feature of The Talk Back Button is its customizability. By default, the hotkey for mic activation is the numpad enter key. However, this can be modified according to user preference. The tool also integrates effortlessly with Ableton Live 12.0.0 and Max 8.1.5.

Experience with this tool requires just a few steps:

1. Configure the microphone in Ableton Live and create a new audio track with its input set to your microphone.
2. Drag and drop The Talk Back Button 1.0 onto your mic channel.
3. Adjust the default hotkey if necessary.
4. Activate the tool by holding down the assigned key. The main mix volume will decrease and the microphone will be enabled.
5. Release the button to disable the microphone and return the main mix volume to its original level.

To ensure device responsiveness, the Max4Live utility tool needs to be clicked or selected before using the hotkey. This minor limitation doesn’t detract from the functionality and utility which the Talk Back Button 1.0 offers artists and producers.
