Description
Note: For Live 12, this is now obsolete as Live 12's shaper has a Manual mode. However, I uploaded a version of live 12's Shaper with the same QoL improvements that are present in this one: https://maxforlive.com/library/device/10140/live-12-shaper-plus
OG Description:
I edited the stock Shaper device and replaced the internal oscillator with an Index knob input. The index controls the X-axis input into the envelope, which produces a mappable Y-axis output value based on the drawn envelope.
Effectively this is a mod re-mapper with a nice curve editor, and which also retains the Depth, Offset, Jitter, Smooth, & Phase controls of Shaper.
The screenshot shows an example in which a Triangle LFO has its frequency amplified by a ReMapper with 4 triangles, before controlling another ReMapper.
As a bonus, each Min and Max for mapped parameters are themselves automatable/mappable, which they are not currently in most stock modulators. (Although I've uploaded versions of each where this is fixed.)
I welcome feedback and suggestions for similarly simple devices & modifications.
