Philip Meyer’s MIDI Tools Volume One is a Max4Live device designed for Ableton Live 12.0.5 and Max 8.6.2, featuring four MIDI generators and eight transformers. The generators—Blocks, Phase Pattern, Turing Machine, and Polyrhythm—offer diverse methods for creating evolving sequences. Blocks uses probability for sequence generation, while Phase Pattern produces intricate synth patterns. Turing Machine provides algorithmic randomness, and Polyrhythm explores multiple rhythmic patterns simultaneously.
The transformers, including Condition Transform, Develop, and Feel, enable extensive manipulation of MIDI patterns. Condition Transform utilizes logic programming for dynamic alterations, and Develop allows gradual variations over time. Other tools like Draw, Shift, and the Pattern Transformer facilitate segmentation, transposition, and timing adjustments, emulating a more organic feel.
The device’s user-friendly interface invites creativity and exploration, encouraging producers to push their musical boundaries.
