Tools for Ableton Live 12 that came out of my own workflow. Some write harmony, bass and arrangement. Others shape the sound with a number next to everything. None of them asks for a key, an account or the internet.
Real MIDI on real tracks. Edit it, chop it, throw half of it away.
Chords, bass and melody from one harmony, written into your Set as three editable MIDI clips. Lock what works, regenerate the rest.
Writes bass, lead and synth as MIDI and programs the Operator patch for the bass. Twenty sounds, from Sub to Reese, built from synthesis rules.
One click adds a guide track to your Arrangement: empty, named, coloured blocks at the right bars for the style and length you pick.
Reads the blocks you already built in your Arrangement and lays out the whole track: intro, build, break, drop, groove, outro, from copies of your own clips.
Dynamics and EQ written in gen~, with a number next to everything that costs you something.
A compressor that starts moving at 0.05 ms. Eight ratios, a program-dependent mode, even and odd harmonics, and a needle that tells the truth.
Opto compressor with a release that has a memory: two curves blended by how hard the last few seconds worked. A tube stage that is exact bypass at zero.
A clipper that takes the peaks off and puts nothing else on. A knee you set in per cent, true-peak metering, and a delta switch that plays only what is being removed.
Dynamic EQ that clears space for your kick only where it actually collides with the bass, and only while the hit lasts. Six bands, zero latency.
A car drives the granular. How sideways it goes decides what happens to your audio. Grab it with the mouse and you are steering.
What sits between recording and mixing.
A tuner with a third column: not just what note you are on and how far off, but what note the key actually wants. LEARN finds the key and writes it into Live.
Your vocal chain in one rack: eight macros, from compression and low-end cleanup to saturation, brightness, reverb and delays. Native devices only.
Reads the track names you already type, and colours, renames and buses the whole Set in one press. DRY RUN previews, REVERT undoes.
The devices that keep getting bought together, for less than the sum.
Harmony Engine, MONO ENGINE and GrooveEQ, the three that keep getting bought together, plus 186 samples that play what they write.
Harmony Engine, MONO ENGINE, VocalPilot, Vocal Processor and SKIDDO. Two write the music, two shape the voice, one breaks it on purpose.
798 samples, 25 MIDI and 5 full bonus tracks of tech house and techno, 128 to 130 BPM, royalty-free. Three volumes in one download.
I make Max for Live devices and I make my own records. Every device here came out of a problem of mine, and is tested like software before it ships. Found a bug? Write me. It gets fixed and you get the fix for free.
Every device is sold through Gumroad. Full pages, like the one for Harmony Engine, are being added one at a time.
