One trick for a more musical generative music
A useful little abstraction that allows us to evolve a list of numbers into a different list of numbers over multiple cycles in Max. Super useful to create melodies, rhythms, velocities, or other progressions that you want to change gradually over the course of your composition.

I made 12 generative MIDI devices for Ableton Live 12
Просмотров 31 тыс.6 месяцев назад
I'm excited to release 12 new MIDI Generators and Transformers for Ableton Live! Use these to work quickly and creatively in Live and generate MIDI that would be nearly impossible to create manually. I love to use these to quickly generate ideas and then create variations on those ideas.

Building a sampler in gen~ (Part 2)
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.9 месяцев назад
Video 5 in the sampling series shifts builds on the previous one (ruclips.net/video/OxOZ5INSaQE/видео.html). Today we’ll do some click suppression, add the ability to select a region of the sample for playback, and add a looped playback mode.

Bending time with chaos and the Rhythm and Time Toolkit
Просмотров 2,2 тыс.10 месяцев назад
Learn how to use ~chaotic functions~ to modulate time and humanize your rhythms with Taylor and Wakefield’s *Generating Sound and Organizing Time* (aka GO) and my Rhythm and Time Toolkit (aka RTT) for Max. Chaotic functions use weird math to generate signals that are neither random noise nor easily predictable. Think of it like an LFO that isn’t periodic. GO has a TON of these, and they make gr...
