is a collection of various Max/MSP objects for creative patching coded in C++, using the min-devkit.

This package was born as a collection of some custom externals I made for different projects, so they are not really linked by a common thread. They deal with various subjects, from weird sound generators to autonomous systems, from handy utilities to nasty effects.

There are also some ready to use Max for Live devices,  built upon some of the 

 externals, so that can be directly tested into a  production environment.

is MIT licensed, both the source code and the pre-built binaries, for Windows and macOS, are available on GitHub.

 is a MIDI-based note generator that can play up to eight different notes in individual cycles. 

All parameters, such as pitch, velocity, length and the probability of playback, can be set, changed and randomized very quickly and intuitively in a graphical user interface.

The loop lengths, which can be set individually for each note, always refer to a clock whose frequency can be synchronized with grid-based note values with the DAW host or can be set independently of this. 

The start point of each loop and the clock-independent internal speed of each loop can also be easily manipulated in the same way. In addition, each loop can be individually faded in or out.

Further documentation can be found in the Max for Live device if Ableton Live´s  Help View is turned on.

max-for-live-sq10-note-generator

Max for Live *sq10 — Note Generator 

 is a random pattern generator whose patterns can contain up to 32 events. 

After selecting the pitch and velocity range, the pitch and velocity values can now be played in a randomly generated sequence in a loop. New patterns that play the sound material in a different order can be created manually or automatically.

The loop sizes that define the restart of the pattern can be set individually for the pitch and velocity values, so that interesting accentuations with rhythmic shifts can be created.

The events can have a variable course in terms of their note length within one or even several cycles. 

In addition, a global length and probability value can be set for all events.

Max for Live *sq09 — Pattern Randomizer

is a sequencer in which two voices follow different cycles but are still linked to each other. Each voice can be assigned an individual pitch, velocity and length value.

The first voice defines the main cycle, which consists of evenly divided events that are continuously triggered and and whose division is in ratio to the set clock.

In the second voice, a subdivision with initially evenly triggered events can also be set, which is maintained for as long as possible. At the end of the main cycle, however, the cycle of the second voice is also forced to reset, so that the last step of the sub cycle is shortened if the two cycle sizes cannot be divided without a remainder.

The subdivisions of the two cycles can be set automatically, whereby up to four consecutive sizes can be set, which can change at different intervals.

The events can be emphasized differently in groups of two and can also be provided with different dynamic courses within their cycle. 

This concept of this device built in Max/Max for Live (Cycling ´74/Ableton) was inspired by a video from the gen~ Youtube series by Philip Meyer which refers to an album and a book of Mark Fell's as well as to the book 'Generating Sound and Organizing Time' by Graham Wakefield and Gregory Taylor.

max-for-live-sq08-synchronized-looper

Max for Live *sq08 — Synchronized Looper 

 is a monophonic 8-step sequencer in which each step is assigned a pitch value. 

Each individual step can also have an individual length or subdivision value, which can be set via the vertical axis and can also be randomized.

In two different modes, the steps are extended or are subdivided according to the set value.

The extended or subdivided steps can be played in various forms; either the step is paused over the set period, only a short event or only a long event is played or the step is triggered in the corresponding number of events, depending on the set length/subdivision.

If several events are played per step, these can also be faded in or out. Furthermore, each event can be globally split into two parts and provided with swing phrasing.

The concept of this device built in Max/Max for Live (Cycling ´74/Ableton) was inspired by a video from the Max Sequencing Tutorials Youtube series by Philip Meyer in which a sequencer is built in Max that resembles the Intellijel Metropolis Sequencer. Parts of the patch explained in the video are also used in this Max for Live device.

max-for-live-sq07-dynamic-step-sequencer

Max for Live *sq07 — Dynamic Step Sequencer

 is a four-voice step sequencer with variable stepsize in which each voice is assigned a pitch and length value. The individual events can be assigned velocity values.

The events of each sequence voice can be subdivided into different quantities based on the grid. For quick access, all downbeats can be created, moved and duplicated at once.

The sequencer's clock is permanently synchronized with the DAW host, so grid-based note values serve as a pulse. The sequencer's grid adapts to the measure settings in terms of the number of possible events. In addition, the sequencer's grid can also be decoupled from the DAW host's measure setting and grid values can be quickly halved and doubled.

max-for-live-sq06-variable-step-sequencer

Max for Live *sq06 — Variable Step Sequencer 

 is an Euclidean sequencer with two individual voices in which up to 16 events can be activated. The events played are selected by distributing them as evenly as possible over the maximum number of steps

Pitch, velocity and length value are assigned to each voice. Alternatively, a sequence can be recorded in advance, the pitch values of which are assigned to the individual events. The velocity values of the individual events can also be randomized.

Both voices can be set independently of each other in terms of their number of possible steps and events, or linked together so that the same settings are made in both units. Alternatively, it is possible to have the second voice play the initially omitted events as a counter voice.

Furthermore, the order of the individual events in the sequences can be influenced by rotating them in different directions or arranging them randomly. In addition, weighted randomness can be used to define whether all activated events are actually played.

By default, the main pulse has the length of a 4/4 beat and runs synchronously with the DAW host. However, the speed of the clock can be changed without being bound to a specific grid.

The concept of this device built in Max/Max for Live (Cycling ´74/Ableton) was inspired by a video from the Max Sequencing Tutorials Youtube series by Philip Meyer in which the concept of Euclidean Rhythms is explored and demonstrated. Parts of the patch explained in the video are also used in this Max for Live device.

max-for-live-sq05-euclidean-sequencer

Max for Live *sq05 — Euclidean Sequencer 

is a monophonic 8-step sequencer in which each step is assigned a pitch and velocity value. In addition, a further individual subdivision of events can be set for each step.

The frequency of the main pulse is defined by a grid-based note value and runs synchronously with the DAW host.

Each individual step can be delayed or accelerated within the grid. In addition, the group of events per step can be faded in and out individually. Each event can either be played permanently or triggered randomly. 

The cycle of the entire sequence can be played in different directions. Two modes can be selected for different progressions.

*sq04 is a monophonic 8-step sequencer in which each step is assigned a pitch and velocity value. In addition, a further individual...

max-for-live-sq04-subdivision-stepper

Max for Live *sq04 — Subdivision Stepper

 is a four-voice 16-step sequencer in which each voice is assigned a pitch and length value. The individual events can be provided with velocity values, individual probability values can also be set.

Every voice can be accelerated, slowed down or delayed within its sequence. Each individual event can be delayed within the grid or provided with swing phrasing in groups.

The frequency of the main pulse can either be defined by an independent clock or synchronized with the DAW host. In this case, a grid-based note value serves as the pulse. 

As the plugin is used as a MIDI FX, multiple devices can be used consecutively in the same track to create additional polyphony.

*sq03 is a four-voice 16-step sequencer in which each voice is assigned a pitch and length value. The individual events can be provided...
