The Shoegazer Reverse Gate is a Max4Live audio effect designed for Ableton Live, inspired by the classic reverse gate sounds of the YAMAHA SPX90. Developed by Akihiko Matsumoto, this device emulates the atmospheric textures associated with shoegaze music, enabling artists to create immersive soundscapes. It features intuitive controls like ‘Threshold’, ‘Attack’, and ‘Release’, allowing for precise manipulation of audio dynamics. By utilizing this effect, users can transform straightforward audio recordings, such as guitar tracks, into lush, ethereal experiences characterized by reverb swells and dynamic processing. The device seamlessly integrates into Ableton Live workflows and is accessible for both novice and experienced users, making it a valuable addition to any electronic music production toolkit.

Akihiko Matsumoto’s Reverse Delay is an innovative Max4Live audio effect designed to offer a unique approach to delay processing by reversing the playback of delayed audio signals. This device captures incoming audio, stores it in a buffer, and plays it back in reverse, creating an unconventional sonic experience characterized by cascading backward melodies and lush atmospheric textures. Users can manipulate delay time (in milliseconds), feedback levels, and a percentage-based wet/dry mix to sculpt their sound design effectively. The Reverse Delay’s automation capability further allows users to modulate parameters in real-time, crafting evolving soundscapes compatible with various musical styles, from ambient soundtracks to intricate electronic compositions. Designed for use within Ableton Live (version 12.0.5 or later) and Max (version 8.6.2 or later), it presents itself as a powerful tool for sound designers looking to break free from standard audio workflows, encouraging the exploration of new auditory realms.

Grid SEQ Params 6.6 is a Max4Live device by Akihiko Matsumoto designed for enhanced control of both Ableton Live parameters and modular synthesizers. Compatible with Ableton Live version 12.0.5 and Max version 8.6.2, it provides a hassle-free setup for music producers. The device enables the sending of Control Voltage (CV) and Gate signals through audio outputs, allowing seamless integration with modular synths directly from Ableton’s interface. Featuring a grid-based modulation system, users can map various parameters on their synths, such as filter cutoff and LFO rates, while creating intricate modulation patterns. This merging of digital and analog technologies empowers artists to explore new sonic territories, establishing a dynamic relationship between software and hardware.
