Dillon Bastan Iridescence Max for Live
Soft / Samples, Presets, Banks Of Sounds
18-06-2023
Iridescence is a MaxForLive delay effect with arpeggiated note trails via a polyphonic real-time pitch shifting and delay system. You can select how many notes are in an arpeggiated "chord” created off of the audio input. Additionally, you can create up to 16 different chords that can transition via a Markov Chain (a probabilistic transition from chord to chord). This device can create beautiful harmonies off of a single note! There are various settings that allow the device to transform from one purpose to another. It is a powerhouse for real-time harmony on a continuous audio source! NOTE: This is an audio effect and though similar in some ways it is NOT by any means MIDI note arpeggiator!
Comes with:
The device, user manual, 30 presets
Version Info:
Works with Live 10 and up!
Features:
Polyphonic real-time pitch shifting and delay mechanism that creates the effect of arppegiated delay trails on an incoming audio signal
Up to 8 'notes' to create arppegiated sequences off of the original audio pitch.
Delay time and feedback settings with swing options
Ability to create up to 16 chords with different note combinations
A probabilistic system (markov chain) to transition between the different chords, with manual and automatic transition trigger options
Individual transition probabilties for each chord with randomization options
Two different real-time pitch shifting algorithms
Latching mode with different release options
Pitch feedback options
Automatic pitch detection and correction mode to change the note transpotions in real-time based ont he detected note and chosen Scale and Tonic
Different panning options
Lowpass and Highpass filter options
Internal LFO with perlin noise and basic shape options for modulating the filter cutoff frequencies
To Install And Use Presets:
Drop the entire folder called 'Iridescence' (NOT the folder called 'Iridescence v.x.x.x') into the folder called 'ableton/user library/presets/audio effects/max audio effect'. This is found in the 'Places' section in Live's browser or in your finder/file browser. If you are going through finder (mac) the Ableton folder is typically in your 'Music' folder. If you are going through your file browser (windows) it is typically in the 'My Music' folder. The path to the .amxd file should be: 'ableton/user library/presets/audio effects/max audio effect/Iridescence/Iridescence.amxd'

Isotonik Studios Grain Forest v1.0.0 Max for Live

Grain Forest is a maxforlive granular synth and effect. The granular playback and FX are driven by a simulation of a forest that evolves through DNA mixing and mutations over generations.
Each tree in the forest is an independent grain or voice that has its own DNA which modulates the grain's playback and FX parameters depending on how you set up that tree species (up to 4 species).
Pollen from trees can mix DNA with another tree and create a new seed, optionally with mutations. The trees sample audio and grow from the "soil” beneath them, each soil type can have its own unique audio mix coming from various audio sources. This all adds up to a literally evolving soundscape sampled from multiple audio sources! Grain Forest can be a granular delay, a texture, a glitchy/chaotic effect, a dynamic sampler, or whatever way you figure out how to use it.
Dillon Bastan data.train v1.0.0 Max for Live

data.train is a sampler mangler of sorts that can be used as an audio effect or instrument (works with dropped samples or live audio input). It centers around the modulation of sample playback and FX through a grid of math operators.
Each playback and FX parameter has its own modulation source/value and each frame that value changes based on its selected math operator. By changing the operators in a chain of events and the source of their right-hand operand, you can create complex to harmonic oscillations that can be evolving over time or repeating rhythms. This device is great for many uses, especially for rhythmic effects, glitchy/chaotic/stuttering sounds, ambient/generative soundscapes, pretty effects, or adding a bit of weirdness to your sound.
Ableton Live Inspired by Nature v1.3 Max for Live

Inspired by Nature is a playful collection of visual Max for Live devices created in collaboration with Dillon Bastan. Produce generative soundscapes, unpredictable melodies and evolving modulations with devices inspired by physical forces and the natural world.
Vector devices
Inspired by Nature contains three vector devices – Vector FM, Vector Grain and Vector Delay. These devices feature a particle system where each particle is a visual representation of an individual voice. Watch as a particle’s movement is influenced by simulated forces of gravity and magnetism, or the particles are sent through a flow field, and hear the corresponding modulation of audio parameters.
