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-four sounds, eight styles, from tech house to psytrance.
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, LOOP2TRACK, Arrangement Finisher and GrooveEQ: from the first chord to the finished arrangement. Costs less than the first three bought separately.
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've been a DJ and producer for nine years. I've released on labels like Revival New York, Sola, Dirtybird, CUFF and Organic Pieces, and had tracks supported by Jamie Jones, Solardo, Paco Osuna, Chris Lake and Cloonee.
I've always liked tweaking my process to produce faster. About a year ago I started building Max for Live devices to unblock my own workflow, and realised many of them solved things other producers get stuck on too. Those are the ones you'll find here.
Found a bug? Write me. I'm the one who answers, the one who fixes it, and the new version reaches you for free through the same link.
Every device is sold through Gumroad, in US dollars, and the coupon is already in the link. The eight main devices have a full page each; the others link straight to the store.
