This video shows a simple Max For Live Device which allows the user to control any device parameter in Live via volume level. Shown in the video are using a kick drum to modulate the FM amount in Operator, Triggering a reverb’s dry/wet controls from a drum loop and finally, using a synth’s LFO to change distortion controls. The device uses the new MFL object, live.remote~, to manipulate device controls at audio rate, which is much smoother than traditional 128 step midi resolution. Just want to mention that some of the controls in the video don’t run too smoothly, I believe that is because of the processing power that is needed to record the screen cast. When not screen recording the movement of the manipulated controls closely follow the level of audio sidechained to it

in fl you got some more ways to sidechain whatever you like
take a look at the peak controller tool…
fl had a sidechain remote controller all this time? or just the ability to sidechain? never actually used fl, just asking
nice idea.
So how does one make it, or find it?
this function exists in FL since 5 years
nice
like you say, everything has his learning curve…i think, the apc is just as live is… its a physical copy of the programm. i think you couldnt missunderstand the apc, because its so simple, just as live is…simple as hell
@GregorEicher I ‘ve been working with live and my APC and I’m getting the basics down – the tutorials built in are a huge help. that manual is intimidating. I understand the APC much more now
APC has nothing to do with max for live…the apc is pretty simple i think. when you understand live, than u understand apc…its too simple to missunderstand the apc
its way expensive though
@minimalscarf – hey shut up! haha. I know theres a learning curve. I’m getting the hang of it.
yes
how the fuck can i learn about this shit – i’ve had my apc for 3 days and Im still pretty fucking lost! AM I an idiot???
you should throw a filter or comparator in after the level in.
Will you post the max patch?
$299 last I heard, don’t quote me on that though.
nice!
Damn, an envelope follower is EXACTLY what I wanted from Max for live. I do this sort of thing in Guitar rig all the time, but this opens up way more possibilities because it is inside of Live. Thanks for posting.
I want max for live too …jealous
looks like another fun gadget to dream about, thx. your vid is really quiet though
the sidechain is in need of an eq and attack/release…but it’s awesome either way.
I don’t believe there is an official price yet…
Cheers,
Michael
any idea what max for live would cost, because my god it seems that Ableton Live is like the Mac in music production, its like Robert Henke, is Steve Jobs.
NICE
Hype!
