“Fit to DrumRack 16 Pads 1.0” is a Max4Live device designed for Ableton Live that efficiently maps MIDI note input across the standard 0-127 range to the specific note range (36-51) required by Drum Rack’s 16 pads. Created by an21, this device acts as a converter, ensuring that all MIDI notes entering a MIDI track are redirected to trigger the correct drum samples without risking out-of-bounds responses, making it particularly useful for generating random loops and sequences. The straightforward setup involves inserting the device onto a MIDI track populated with a Drum Rack, allowing for dynamic drum pattern creation from any MIDI sequence inputted, including random or melodic sequences. Compatible with Ableton Live 11.3.35 and Max 8.5.8, it provides a user-friendly interface while maintaining a powerful functional capacity. The device is available for free download, making it an attractive tool for both novice and experienced producers aiming to enhance their rhythmic outputs in live performances or studio sessions.

Spirals 1.0 is a Max for Live audio effect that emulates classic spring reverb sounds using advanced processing techniques. Unlike standard convolution reverb, Spirals utilizes a combination of phase dispersion, delay, and diffusion to replicate the iconic ‘chirp’ characteristic of traditional spring reverbs. It employs 80 allpass filters configured in series to modulate phase across the frequency spectrum. The device offers extensive control parameters, including Low Frequency (LF) and High Frequency (HF) Time knobs, a Character knob for tone shaping, and a Decay knob to manage reverb length. An initial high-pass filter cleans up low frequencies, while dual parallel processors allow tailored treatments of high and mid-low frequencies. The intuitive user interface supports creative sound design, making it suitable for producing nostalgic vintage effects or modern auditory explorations. Spirals 1.0 is compatible with Ableton Live versions 10 to 12 and provides a commercially licensed avenue for musicians to harness the charm of classic reverb sounds.

Monotale’s Random Loop Twin is a Max for Live device designed to enhance loop-based music production within Ableton Live. This innovative instrument allows users to blend two distinct audio loops—utilizing channels “Line A” and “Line B”—to create dynamic drum patterns while maintaining precise control over tempo and timing. The standout feature, the ‘chucker random’ function, introduces stochastic variations, ensuring that loops evolve throughout the performance, offering a fresh auditory experience. Its seamless integration with Ableton Live 11 and Max 8 eliminates the need for updates, making it user-friendly. This device is ideal for creating intricate and engaging rhythms across genres, from smooth jazz to high-energy techno, providing an essential tool for modern producers.
