Randomize the state of your Macros with the randomization button. Store the state of your Macros for later recall – perfect for creating instant variations to your sounds or builds and drops during performance.Ĭonfigure your Racks to have between 1 and 16 Macros. When you DJ, you can even turn Live into a tempo-synced FX box. Live listens to and adjusts its tempo based on incoming audio in real time, making it a dynamic part of the band instead of the tempo source that everyone has to follow. Six playful instruments and effects created in collaboration with Dillon Bastan that use natural and physical processes as their inspiration. It’s a flexible tool to add character to sounds in the studio, or for in-the-moment experimentation onstage. The Freeze function captures and holds a slice of audio – either free-running or in time with the beat – for stuttered, glitched and washed-out effects.Ĭreate jittery glitch effects, delayed digital shimmers and outlandish vibrato with this Max for Live pitch shifting device created in collaboration with Robert Henke and inspired by the Publison DHM 89 – an early digital effects processor. Transforms sound into partials and feeds them into a frequency-based delay, resulting in metallic echoes, frequency-shifted and reverb-like effects. The MIDI sidechain input also allows musicians to process material in key and even play the device as if it were a polyphonic instrument. Use the algorithmic side to add control and modulate the reverb tail, run it in parallel or in series with the convolution side, or play Hybrid Reverb like an instrument for real-time sound design.īreaks the spectrum of an incoming audio signal into partials, then stretches, shifts and blurs the result by a frequency or a note in subtle or radical ways.

Place your sounds in any space, from accurate real-life environments to those that defy physical reality. Hybrid Reverb combines convolution and algorithmic reverbs. This way of using MIDI allows MPE-capable devices to control multiple parameters of every note in real time for more expressive instrumental performances. MPE stands for MIDI Polyphonic Expression. Add subtle expression variations, morph between chords and create evolving sonic textures.

Plug in your MPE-capable controller and immediately add bends, slides and pressure for each individual note in a chord. This makes editing multi-tracked instruments or performances with multiple musicians easy and fast whilst keeping everything in time across tracks. Link two or more tracks to edit their content simultaneously.
