Max for Live modulation sequencer Audio Effect device for Ableton Live.
Built with Max 8.6.4 and Ableton Live 12. No guarantees on other versions!
Download from the redist folder or releases tab. Note: currently, only the frozen device is available in the repo; I've yet to set up maxdiff and a git workflow for Max. A proper source device will be available soon-ish.
- MIDI advances on MIDI messages (note on, note off or both). User can set a count to advance after a certain number of note events, default is 1.
- Seq runs the sequencer on the Ableton clock, supports note value or free-running modes.
- Gate is similar to Seq mode, but only advances when a MIDI note is held (analogous to an arpeggiator).
- Manual mode sets the step manually with a knob (possible to automate or modulate).
- Smoothing and jitter controls to effect the modulation signal.
- Global depth control.
- Sorting, randomization and scramble functions to change all step values.
- Control of step values from multislider or fine-tune control with numboxes.
- Working undo buffer for the sequencer step values.
Known issues (August 2025):
- Manual mode does not respect / use the loop points
- Visual issue with sequencer starting from step one when loop starts at a higher sequence number and device is set to reset on transport
- Jitter applies modulation signal when sequencer is not running
- Warning in Max console relating to detection of track which device is residing on
- Untested behaviour when moving the loop points with the sequencer running
- Not audio rate!
