Description
Ableton Shaper, which is powered by a MIDI signal, actually turns your Ableton into Serum or Phaseplant with infinite LFOs and the ability to modulate any knobs of any plug-ins, even on other tracks.
Tips and tricks:
- To bend a line, hold Alt (Option on Mac)
- To erase a dot, click Shift+left mouse button
- Click twice on the dot, it will circle around - that means sutain will start from this point
- You can modulate any parameters/knobs of any plug-ins on any tracks, from synths to effects
- You can expand the number of LFO maps (make more than 8 map routings) via CV Utility, that is part of "CV Tools" pack or using "MultiMap_button" by Sprk
- Just like in Serum there are two modes of LFO here: "Trig" - LFO will loop while the note is pressed. "Env" - LFO will hold at its last point, creating a sustain
- You can actually turn your Ableton into a synthesizer with endless effects and possibilities with this, it's all up to your imagination
New features in MIDI Shaper 2:
- MIDI notes now correctly trigger the LFO
- Disabled Snap mode by default for creating custom curves immediately
- Fixed graphical bugs - now Shaper mod is displayed perfectly with any theme and has the same appearance as Shaper from Ableton 11
- Minimized the scale of v1 mod - now it is the same by size as the original Shaper
- It is possible to disable the synchronization of the LFO with the notes using the Sync button
- R button (Retrigger) now works without restrictions
- Changed the default curve to a more editable one (triangular)
- Similar to synthesizers like Serum, LFO now works only when you press the notes, and when you release the note, modulated knob instantly returns to its original position
2.1 Update:
- For convenience an additional blue color has been added, which shows that the button has switched
- A couple more graphical bugs have been fixed
- The file size is optimized (1600kb before, 550kb now)
2.2 Update (Current stable version):
- The oscilloscope code has been changed to 100% stable, now the bugs with the mirror or disappearing oscilloscope are fixed
- CPU load decreased by ~10%
