Learning Max for Live TUTORiAL

P2P | Oct 03 2017 | 257 MB

Max for Live is a collection of instruments, effects, and tools to expand Ableton Live’s music-production and live-performance capabilities, as well as a platform for building your own DIY devices. In this short course, author Yeuda Ben-Atar, aka Sidebrain, walks you through Max for Live Essentials (the free download for Ableton Suite 9 users), covering the Buffer Shuffler and Convolution Reverb, the LFO and Envelope Follower, and drum synths, and then shares some of his favorite third-party Max for Live devices. Yeuda also shows how to turn Ableton Live into a VJ station and program your own devices, like the patch he creates to turn the PlayStation 3 controller into a MIDI controller, with Max for Live.

Polyphylla v1.2 for Ableton Live v9.7.1 ALP

SYNTHiC4TE | April 13th 2017 | 9.1 MB

Polyphylla is a new Max For Live instrument that makes additive synthesis accessible and fun. Aimed at electronic music producers as well as experimental composers, music educators and production novices, you’ll master it in minutes but make amazing sounds with it for years to come. Boiling a complex under-the-hood architecture down to a concise set of around 50 editable parameters, organised in a clean, clear interface, Polyphylla prioritises approachability and ease of use, without sacrificing depth or quality of results. At the heart of the synth is a flexible 120-partial additive oscillator coupled to an analogue-style noise generator, each with its own multimode filter. The oscillator offers three methods by which to generate and edit a base harmonic spectrum: simple analogue waveform emulation, knob-driven stochastic microtuning, and detailed graphical control of 32 partial groups. The noise generator, meanwhile, can be overdriven for extra grit.

Get to grips with Patter, a creative MIDI effect for Max for Live that creates truly surprising musical ideas. Its ability to generate unique rhythms and melodies, and deft control over randomization elements make it an exciting tool for those looking for inspiration and experimentation.  Patter can help you create wild and experimental MIDI patterns for use with any synth or drum machine. It’s a highly flexible tool that can be used alone for musical inspiration and improvisation, or chained together for real free-flowing creativity. And since it’s built in Max For Live, every parameter can be mapped to MIDI hardware for hands-on control.

Alter Echo v1.1 for Ableton Live v9.7.1 ALP

SYNTHiC4TE | April 05 2017 | 59 MB

Alter Echo is a Max For Live delay on steroids.

AlterEcho is a supercharged delay effect which can add complex rhythm and tone to your sounds. It is transport-synced with step-based parameters, enabling powerful control of your sound over time. Alter Echo specializes in creating rhythmic delays. It allows you to take high-level control of how echo behaves over time, so you can create and experiment with complex rhythmic movement. You can apply Alter Echo to your existing clips and sequences, or process incoming signals by dropping it on an Audio Input. It’s great for turning an ordinary drum loop into a spaced-out new rhythm, or for taking a pad, synth or instrument line and making it move and pump in time. On a live input the step based delays can provide inspiration for new grooves and melodies for live performers.
