Chiastic Slide 4 is a Max for Live audio effect designed by zsteinkamp, enabling seamless crossfading between audio chains or child tracks within Ableton Live. It features a user-friendly interface displaying color-coded balls around a 2D circle, representing different audio sources. Users can manipulate a virtual microphone to transition smoothly between these sources with primary controls for Direction, Width, and Curve. The Direction control positions the mic for immersive soundscapes, while Width and Curve enhance the dynamic effects of crossfades. By addressing limitations in Ableton’s native Rack devices, Chiastic Slide 4 allows for concurrent sound manipulation, enriching live performances and studio productions. The device is open-source and available on GitHub, making it a valuable addition for artists seeking nuanced audio exploration.
