Hello everyone. Please test this new Max For Live midi note LFO I have made. The range sliders set the range of the various midi messages. Everything else should be ready to automate and available on Push 2 on separate pages. Enjoy.

Combining an LFO with the number of gate steps allows you to create interesting rhythms too. Then add in a Chord with some LFO shifting, and a nice sounding Scale and you've got jazz piano.

Lots of fun! Perhaps a pulse / reset button could be handy? and a random dial on Gate LFO? Cheers Ned!

If I have 7/16 gate steps with two muted would be interesting to randomise which steps are muted in order to create rhythmic variations? Or perhaps there is already a way to do this - just exploring now!

Kind of - for some reason not properly. Would it then be possible to add 'chromatic' to the scales?

Much obliged - these are all very nitpicking by the way. Loving exploring this. Wonderful idea and elegantly executed. Much appreciated!

it's delicious! Thanks Ned

What you can do is take an LFO plugin and map it to the number of gate steps. That allows you to create rhythmic variation but without it being random.

It is marvellous. Some observations from my testing with 11.1.6: For pitch, on Push there's no way to edit PitchRate In the device itself, the PitchRate selector has a dark background, so it's very hard to read the units (this is when the desktop is using a Dark theme - the similar selectors for the other components are fine) On Push, the Velocity component has two VelLFOSnap entries On Push, the GateSync component has a typo - shows "GAETSYNC"

Thanks Adam. I spotted a lot of the things you mentioned myself and they’ve been fixed. I’ll take a look at the colour scheme. I have Ableton on Dark.

Adam Huffman

Apparently my Ableton was in "Mid Light". If I change it to something more sensible, the problem goes away.

Ned Rush

It’s a valid point to take a look. I’ll try it on all the colour schemes and find something that works.

And further fiddling reveals that in "Mid Dark", that selector's background is still darker than the others, though the entries are visible so it is just cosmetic.

I've been playing with this for 2 hours now and recorded several tracks. I have little to no idea what's happening but it sounds great. Steve Reich would be jealous but I'm just randomizing the crap out of anything that moves.

This is a wicked little MIDI instrument. I put it before my favourite piano sample and lost about an hour. A decent, logical layout - plenty of options for experimentation and randomisation. Looking forward to creating a custom template for it. It reminded me a little bit of Fugue Machine (this is a good thing). Totally it's own beast. Nice work!

cheers ned. wicked tool, instant smile. the world champ of aleatoric ableton madness reigns supreme! so much creativity and generosity, much love.

Thanks for all the feedback. I have to have this finished by august 2nd but already I want to add more features, like FM on each LFO. Thing is the panel is already crammed, so I thought it’d switch to tab based system, one tab for each LFO, a bit like the tabs on Sampler. Then I can add more UI elements.
