Noland by Max for Cats

Welcome to Noland! Noland consists of 2 Max for Live devices: the Noland Synthesiser and the NolandFX audio effect.

The Noland synthesiser is a unique instrument. Instead of sliders or knobs you can control Noland completely with individual, automatable X-Y pads. Each X-Y pad controls two or more parameters at the same time. On the filter X-Y pad for example, the X-axis controls the cutoff while the Y-axis controls the resonance.

Once you placed the mouse-cursor on a X-Y pad, your mouse movements are recorded the moment you hold down the mouse button and the recording of your movement stops when you release the mouse button. When activating the checkbox in a X-Y pad's lower right corner, your movements are played back as they were recorded.

There is a global Time control knob which lets you speed up or slow down the recorded X-Y automations. Please note that the speed is relative to the speed you record your X-Y movements.

1 Wavetable Oscillator with variable waveforms
