ABOUT:

This patch is a MODIFICATION of the Manuel Poletti device developed in the 'Max for Live' tutorial set, "Building MIDI Generators". You will find it in track "15 Final step" in that tutorial. It is worth going through that tutorial for a fuller explanation of this device and the thinking and techniques associated with it. Please note - it is NOT my work. I liked the effect so much I wanted it to be more fully integrated as a M4L device in my setup. Latterly I discovered it as "Max Impro Beat" in the 'Max MIDI Effect' > 'Tools' folder. Either way, many features have been added...

More controls have been exposed to clip-modulation and track-automation features, including the sequencer loop brace. Also, an 'auto-Dice' feature with many options has been added to the 'Transform' function and 'Edit Mode'. A few other things, see the documentation that comes with the device / see the picture. The sequencer is only one level deep, but better for that in its simplicity. It works very well if you make a 'MIDI Effect Rack' with a few of them on separate 'chains'.

Information and instructions are included with the device download.

Requirements:

Live 8.1.3 / M4L 5.1.4
