Description

SlideStack is a Max for Live MIDI transformation tool that lets you add polyphony to entire musical phrases one note at a time. It allows you to build entire harmonies and chord progressions from simple melodies or add additional polyphony to chord sequences from the ground up. Its multi-slider UI lets you edit up to 16 notes or chords simultaneously, allowing you to focus on the big picture instead of on isolated events.

Step Sliders

Add new polyphony notes for specific notes, chords, grid intervals or groups with the UI step sliders. The step sliders can be dragged vertically and horizontally to create complex sequences using broad, long scope gestures.

Grid/Note Mode Toggle

Switch between per-note and interval based transformations. Use this to lock changes to Live's quantization grid.

Custom Groups

Dial in the number of notes you want to group together. Use this to make transformations to groups of notes.

Stack/Transpose Modes

Switch between these two modes to either add new notes to your chords or transpose the existing chord voices.

Additive/Subtractive Modes
