Ostin Solo

A Max for Live device for next-level sampling, separation, and neural restoration. Record your audio from any source, separate out stems using 63 AI models, and manipulate sound right within Ableton Live.

 brings together a wide range of separation and restoration models, including 

 text-to-sound, into a single production process.

There is no need to jump around using different apps; you can do everything locally via a single interface.

It's designed as a modular neural processing environment, 

 can integrate new models and architectures over time, extending the current features.

Zero-latency stochastic melodic engine. Powered by a high-performance external designed for surgical generative evolution and precise probabilistic variations within Ableton Live.

Driven by a custom-coded C++ external, this device ensures instantaneous MIDI processing and surgical timing accuracy. Unlike standard randomizers, it operates with absolute deterministic precision and zero overhead, making it reliable for complex live performances and high-density generative sequences.

2. The Logic: Deterministic Selection & Memory

Move beyond chaotic noise with four distinct selection behaviors, where the variation pool is strictly managed by internal buffers:

3. The Boundaries: Physical Constraint Math

Precisely manage notes that exceed your defined Min/Max range using four distinct mathematical behaviors:

Every note is forced into a specific musical mode for 100% cohesion. 

Choose between Global (Syncs with Live’s Scale LOM) or User modes. I

f a note is off-scale, the Magnetic Snap logic performs a bidirectional search for the nearest valid semitone (Yellow Laser).

VOID MIDI RANDOM | M4L Stochastic melodic engine

Zero-latency 4-pole ladder filter. A surgical C++ port of Miller Puckette’s original Pure Data architecture, re-engineered for Ableton Live.

Ported directly from the raw PD source code, this mathematical solver replicates the exact behavior of a classic 24dB/octave Moog low-pass filter. It doesn’t just cut frequencies; it physically models the electrical resistance, allowing for extreme spectrum shaping.

Unlike standard filters, the Saturation parameter acts as a hard physical ceiling 

Features a dedicated Output Make-up gain stage and a trigonometric Equal-Power Mix (Dry/Wet) ensuring 100% volume stability with no phase cancellation gaps.

Drone is a max for live synthesizer with 8 independent voices, two-stage distortion and automation looping, capable of producing lush, rich chords to heavy distorted walls of sound. 

Each voice comes with its own independent controls, starting with volume, panning and pitch deviation. The oscillator's frequency can be either set by hand or via MIDI message, pitch changes can be smoothed out with the glide parameter. The stutter parameter can add movement by turning on and off each voice with its own envelope, rate and probability parameters. The device allows internal automation recording via both mouse and midi controller, just turn on the rec button and move the parameters you would like to loop. The master section of the device includes general controls for volume and pitch deviation along with two types of distortion available as both pre and post lowpass filters. Drone has its own chord presets that can be shifted around by altering the root note of the chord or with the plus minus octave buttons. To create interesting textures and harmonic movements the device can also be controlled in poly MIDI mode, using it like a standard eight voice synthesizer. Finally, to generate unpredictable and unexpected results, there’s always the random button.

Synesthesia is a Max for Live audio effect that explores the relationship between sound, color, and intuitive musical control. Instead of relying on traditional parameter-heavy interfaces, the device uses a color spectrum as its primary controller, allowing chorus, delay, and flanger effects to be shaped through visual and perceptual gestures rather than numerical adjustment.

The device is built on the idea that many musicians already describe and perceive sound in terms of color, brightness, and texture. By mapping RGB color values to multiple effect parameters simultaneously, Synesthesia transforms a single continuous gesture into a coordinated set of musical changes. Moving through the spectrum alters delay timing, modulation depth, and flanging behavior in a musically balanced way, encouraging exploration while preserving internal coherence between effects.

At a technical level, the spectrum control converts red, green, and blue values into numerical control data that is distributed across the internal effect chain. Individual color channels are mapped to specific parameters within the chorus, delay, and flanger stages, allowing smooth transitions between thickening, widening, and shimmering textures. This approach reduces technical decision-making and supports a more immediate, flow-oriented creative process.

In addition to the spectrum control, the device includes a small set of conventional parameters for fine adjustment. Global saturation, mix, and dry/wet controls allow the user to shape intensity and balance, while a dedicated feedback control is provided for the flanger stage. These controls are intentionally limited to maintain focus on the expressive, color-based interaction.

Synesthesia is designed as a creative and conceptual effect rather than a transparent processor. It functions as a macro-style modulation tool, where gradual, gesture-based movement through color gradients becomes a compositional device. The patch embeds a defined aesthetic and range of musically safe outcomes, encouraging experimentation without overwhelming the user with technical detail.

Insert Synesthesia on an audio or MIDI track.

Use the color spectrum to explore different combinations of chorus, delay, and flanger behavior.

Adjust saturation, mix, and dry/wet to control overall intensity and blend.

Use the flanger feedback control to introduce additional resonance and movement.

The spectrum control is intended for manual, real-time interaction rather than parameter automation.

Synesthesia is intended to lower the barrier between perception and sound design by replacing technical parameter adjustment with visually guided interaction. It is particularly effective for evolving textures, transitions, vocal processing, and sound design contexts where continuity and emotional direction are prioritized over precise technical control.
