The new version of Sting is an expressive, improvisational acid line performance system. It is a Max for Live device that runs on Ableton Live or Push 3 Standalone. Sting can generate anything from random to acid patterns and morph between them fluidly. It features a new generation algorithm, advanced editing, expressive control, generative sequencing, and modulation capabilities, along with a set of live performance oriented features. These include a dedicated Push takeover mode that transforms Sting into a hands-on live performance system when used with Ableton Push 2 or 3.
All of Sting’s parameters are logically laid out and fully controllable via Tabbing, making it accessible to blind, visually impaired, and sighted users.
Sting is available as either a free or paid download. Both versions are identical; it's simply a way to ensure that everyone can access it, regardless of their ability to support my work.
