Hi everyone, I'm new to Max and I don't know if what I'm trying to do is possible.

So my goal is to create some sort of controller signal that follows perlin noise and uses that noise to "control" other knobs in Ableton. I don't want to waste my time learning Max For Live if my end goal is not possible. I'm a software engineer so learning the code does not intimidate me, I just don't know if it's possible in Max For Live.

If my goal was not clear here is another way to think about it: Say I drag a reverb onto a track. I want to modulate the wetness of the reverb without actually doing it myself. I would like to do this for many different knobs at the same time, so I can just let it go and record the output for a little while. This would be an incredible useful tool for evolving sound design and would complement my "slip edit" workflow.

edit: **and for clarification, I am not seeking simple automation lanes. I'm lazy and I don't want to make them myself - hence the perlin noise controller**

2) Am I going about this entirely wrong. Is there a better solution than looking into Max For Live. To my knowledge there's nothing native in Ableton that has this kind of capability.

I would greatly appreciate any guidance! Thank you!

So two primary questions:
1) Is this possible in Max For Live?
2) Am I going about this entirely wrong. Is there a better solution than looking into Max For Live. To my knowledge there's nothing native in Ableton that has this kind of capability.

I read over this today an realize it's kind of confusing so let me reword things.

I want a way to control other knobs in ableton via an effect (not via automation lanes or effect racks). My specific goal is to create a Max For Live plugin that uses signal from perlin noise which can then be mapped to other knobs throughout the project. Does Ableton support this?

you can start with the LFO from the Core Library. With that you can controll 8 parameters. Copy the map to parameter part and write you own "waveform" formula. You can map any Audio Signal to a parameter using the live.remote~ object.

Interesting! I'll check that out. Thank you!

Can this be created in Max For Live?
