Low key sounds like Resonance
I though the same, especially at around 1:00
Yep same I thought that was what he was going for there haha
Who need pluggins when you have Max4Live
You're a hidden jem. I can tell you're a brilliant mind and a good hearted person from the way you present these things and share them with us. Cheers mate!
You make the best tutorials, hope you keep up the good work! Can’t wait to try out all these different Max for Lives later :)
Man, you make some of the best live videos in RUclips. Love u
Your videos are so precise and fluent. I have a question and a second later you answer it in the video. And then I have another question in mind and you answer it right away without me even asking. Such quality content. Thank you.
This is crazy, my 10 years of music theory study in order to come up with interesting chords and now this thing does it for you..
Haha, I'm pretty sure your 10 years of music theory study not only gives you much more insight into how to take this further but also how to generate more complex, less random and more intentional chord progressions. So don't give up on that experience just yet 😉 As someone who doesn't have 10 years of music theory experience, rest assured knowing that I regularly wish I did 🤓
@@ELPHNT hahaha, I will definately have a go at it and see what happens! Btw, love your videos, thank you very much! 🙏
Some of these progressions didn't sound too great though. I'm sure with your experience you can do better.
How one takes 10 years to study music theory is beyond me
@@lukasantipoff9596 especially as little music theory as this plug in does. *laughs in neapolitan chords
Oh that is soooo good!!!! Thank you so much sharing all this with us. Love your channel.
One of the best Able tutor channel. Cheers from Russia! Love your vids.
ELPHNT! You are absolutely the best!
Wow I am loving this series! Thanks for the instruments!
I love your content! thank you for putting all of this together!
love your m4l-vids so much! thx a bunch... there is so much inspiration
Your recent M4L videos have been some of the best tutorials I've seen. Especially when I didn't know that most of these devices actually existed. Thanks.
Thanks! That's the idea with these videos; to find some of the best devices out there and make people aware of what they can do. Good to know it's doing just that! 😃
Your videos are incredible man thank you!!
This is insanely useful! Thanks!
I don't have any music theory background at all, thanks for the video, it means the world to me!
I have to get this one Mr Thomas very straight forward.
great great great! keep on creating tutorials, really helpful.
Looks really neat. The disposition knob is a feature I have not seen before - must try it. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome video -- content, duration, visuals ... everything is perfect. Thank you !
❤️❤️❤️
bless your soul for this!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I really appreciate you bruh. You actually have videos that change my workflow. The follow command technique in ableton has inspired me beyond words. I always was able to play many parts previously but could never settle on arrangement or which sounds to keep. Now I look forward to the arrangement and it's went from my least favorite part to my favorite part. Also this chord generator i could actually see myself using.
Such a pleasure 😊 The Follow Actions technique for arrangement - did you pick that up from the dBS Music lecture?
great video and tool, subscribed!
Looks very useful, thanks for the video and link 👍
THIS IS AMAZING Thankyou for this!!!!!!
thanks for introducing me to this!
also bless you for creating TAPE
These videos are great!
Thanks for this omg
Thank you very much!
Great tip.
es un dispositivo muy util! gracias!
love the presentation style
Thanks! 🙌🏻
Yoooo, this sounds amazing
I keep coming back to this video. The sounds are amazing. What's the instrument?
Great vid
Crazy I missed this!
Was searching for something like klimper but for PC.
Glad there is a mfl device :)
Love your videos man. First time I heard from you was in PointBlank videos, on the music production course. Keep up with the amazing tutorials!
Awesome, how did you enjoy the course? Are you done at Point Blank?
@@ELPHNT yes! I'm donde since march, I loved every single module. PointBlank its a wonderfull starting point.. I guess that's what the name implies
@@ivan.bofinger Nice! 👌🏻
good stuff
oh my god, this is the future😍
Love You.
This is literally the best thing I've ever seen, always find it hard to know what chords to use and quickly make progressions 🤗🤗
great videos
awesome
Would love to see some sort of update to this device now with the built in tuning in 12
Tom, your videos are precise and Inspiring. I was wondering what synth/sound are you using for this, It sounds rich analog. Keep it up!
Its one I made custom for the video, but you'll find similar sounds in my ANLG Live Pack: elphnt.io/live-packs/synths-vol-1-anlg. There are some free sounds to try out there 😉
Subscribed ✅
mind....blown....
what synth did you use? that sound so fire
A new tutor star is born! Thank you for your videos!
Holy tutorial benchmark raising, Batman. These are so polished and neat! Are you making them in AE?
I hadn't heard of Nordmann - will definitely check it out. Thank you!
Haha, so much ❤️ for this comment 😂 All the graphics are done in Affinity Designer and the animation and screen recording is done in Screenflow.
@@ELPHNT ah cool. I used to use Screenflow but switched to Camtasia years ago and found it faster to work with.
What I love is the white space - really focuses your attention and gets rid of everything else. 🤓👍
@@GuidoGautsch That's good to hear 'cause that's very much what I' trying to do! 🤓
it's beyond me why you don't have >200k subs
Haha, thanks 😊 I'm pretty sure its mostly 'cause I don't put out videos too frequently, so the RUclips algorithm hates me 🙃 But I'm working on it 🤓
Thats awesome ...But is the a midi generator that does strings Runs, glissando notes, stabs, etc.
Playing the chord progression of "Lean on me" by Bill Withers has never been easier. With this you can do it by using just one finger!
Haha, awesome! 😂
Omg didn't even think of putting Ableton's Scale after.
Reminds me of Autotheroy for Abelton. Because I'm a slob on the keys. lol
@1:53 you said it starts to get a bit messy but what I REALLY think you meant to say was “jazzy”
Edit : great vid as always btw
Man this is awesome stuff
Rather than random, I just wana set each note to play a certain chord, e.g. D1 always playing Dminor and F playing Fmajor7. Would love if there was a simple Max device to do this, but I'll see if Cthulhu can do it.
2:03 Where i can get that file to see in what Key are chords?
Cant load it on Ableton Live 10.1.14 with macOS 10.14.4. When I open the Max editor, it says "sqlite cannot be opened due to a system security policy"
Hi Sir thank you so much But how to instal that
It's still perplexing that Ableton haven't developed or even overhauled their midi chord tool to work as well as something like this M4L device. Using Chord is like going back to the stone age.
i have a issue with this plugin, everytime i release a previous key the next key press sounds get partially muted like its not ringing fully. the chord sustain isnt happening properly. plz help.
The scale festure removes your higher extensions, and thus some color.
Valid point 🤓
One more question, if I may-
Can I assign Keyboard shortcuts to the “buttons” on your plug-in (Major/minor, inversions, ect)? Would I simply use Ableton’s keyboard shortcut assigning function?
If not keyboard shortcuts- could I assign MIDI shortcuts?
Thanks!
Yes, you should be able to MIDI/Key map to Max For Live devices just like any other Live device.
Hi There, very usefull vidéo and plugin, but here i have an issue : When i use it as you said in the video, and i play the song, there is some event added to my history action called "AllNotesOff" and it's very annoying because when i want to go back to an action i've to push the ctrl+Z keys like a thousand times before i get the action i want to go back to. Do you know why it does that or how to solve this? thanks in advance
Unfortunately, this is a bug with the device. The only way to fix it would be to contact the original developer or go in and modify the device yourself if you know how to use Max.
This is great - thanks for sharing! What synth/patch are you using for this, please? It's perfect for testing out chords!
It's just something I threw together for the video, but you'll find similar sounds in my ANLG Live Pack: elphnt.io/live-packs/synths-vol-1-anlg. There's even a free demo with 10 free presets 😊
I have Ableton live 10. How the heck do I get this to work? It looks so amazing!
You'll need Live Suite or Live Standard with the MaxForLive addon. If you have either of those then just head to the link in the description, download the .amxd file and then drag and drop it to wherever you want to use it in Live. Let me know if you get stuck 🤓
Time to head *HOME* .
by Resonance
I don't even know why Resonance is so popular, it's not the best HOME's music
@@chuuuu1131 Well there are some explanations in youtube. I've watched one of them and from what I've heard is that the reason why the music is so popular its because of its sound design.
Edit: Also its chords...
but could it make a chord progression where there is minor and also major chords?
Can we get a Vst version of this? Looks fun
You'd have to chat to the developer about that, but check out Captain Chords, it does something similar and even more advanced: mixedinkey.com/captain-plugins/captain-chords/. Unfortunately, it's not free though.
How and where do you download this? is it free? and suitable in the UK?
Link in the description 😉
nice stuff! know where can I find the second device, the scaler? can't find it as default on live thxx
i believe it's in midi effect category
Yep, and it's not a M4L device, just regular Live MIDI effect
Yup, what the other peeps said. In the Browser, go to MIDI Effects and you should find it there. It's just called Scale.
trueee, cheers everybody!
But maybe people can also take some time to learn some theory : ) ... but this thing is of course great!
Output midi?
How can i install it in Ableton? or where should i paste the .amxd file? hope you can reply my comment :)
Try this: ruclips.net/video/ZbbyMxS9cRI/видео.html
How can I like these chords?
Question please- Can you input sharp and flat notes? It looked like in the video only white keys were inputted…
Thanks!
Yes, definitely!
@@ELPHNT You got back to me! Thank you so much. One more question (and I apologies if it is a “dumb” one)- Can Ableton assign both MIDI and “Key” control to your parameters, such as major/minor, inversions buttons, etc?
@@dwpix Haha, of course! Do you mean can it assign then simultaneously? Yes, it can.
will it come for FL?
you funny..
max for live cats!!!!
Is this only for Ableton?
Unfortunately, yes.
Be nice if this were also for FL Studio.😭
bro what's that osc? :(((( RESONANNNCEEEE
Can we see you riff on this one like you did in the snake vid?
Probably not, I feel like I've said all I can about this little device, anything more would just be gratuitous! 🙃 But it might feature in some future videos, we'll see...
@@ELPHNT That would be great - thank you!
How do you install it???
www.joshuacasper.com/max-4-live/install-max-live-patches-ableton-live-10/
Can this be used with Live 9.7
As far as I know, it should work fine in 9.7, as long as you have MaxForLive installed, obviously.
What is the sound he’s playing called?
Sound
Is this available for Logic?
Unfortunately not...
I need this on FL Studio
Get Ableton
@@arbazann Thinking daws make any difference is for noobs
@ it was supposed to be a joke, i use fl to
Worst Producer As an FL user for 6 years before switching over to ableton for the last year, my workflow has greatly improved
It says that this device isn't available in this version of Live (I'm using ableton live lite 10), does anyone know what to do?
I believe that M4L is not available for Lite editions. Standard Edition is the minimum edition for M4L.
Unfortunately, it requires MaxForLive which is only available in Live Suite or as a separate add-on to Live Standard. So your only option here is to upgrade to one of those versions. Sorry.
Does it work for maschine?
No, since it's a max 4 live! Only ableton
does this work in logic?
Unfortunately not, sorry...
Am I missing something?
I really wanted this plug-in to be awesome. I saw nobody mention having problems using this plug-in, so I assumed it would be awesome for live performances….
So I bought the Max for Live upgrade just to use this plug-in.
Then I found it is useless for live performance. The constructed chords ‘hang’ /stick in this strange way making it impossible to use in real-time, live performances.
I hope it is just something I’m doing wrong.
¿Question-
So, unlike most other “auto chord” builders, you can make chords in various music scales with this?
Most require you to select a scale first, but this one you’re not limited to particular scales, right?
Yes, sort of. It kinda doesn'treally work in 'scales' per see, just kinds of chords, which may or may not have notes in a particular scale, if that makes sense.
@@ELPHNT So, in other words, it will use any key you enter to make the chord, whether or not the note is in any particular scale, right?
I hope that is the case, actually.
Are u from ZA bruh ? You sound like u from Natal
Yep. Durbs via Joburg via Cape Town.
If you don't know music theory, this isn't going to help you much. In fact, it will potentially mess up your music by generating the wrong chords - unless you really want just some random ones to play. Also, you really need to randomise the major/minor selection too to make it fit into the key.
Are any chords really wrong if they sound like you want them to? I'm sure there are countless pieces of music out there with 'wrong chords' that are successful because the creator (who may or may not know their music theory) simply enjoyed the way they sounded. In fact, many of the great musicians we admire ARE so great because they broke the supposed rules, whether consciously or not. In music, there is very little right or wrong, only what sounds good and what works for the creator or the listener.
Sure, “wrong” chords can be great, and while I am all for happy accidents and randomness, I am also sure you’ll agree that knowing the rules makes it easier to break them in interesting ways. At least it will make your rule-breaking more productive if you do rather than doing things at random until it sounds good. In any case, if you do both minor and major chords but lock to key, you will get more interesting chord progressions with more tension and release.
@@hakonsoreide Yup, definitely agree with you - it's obviously always better to have more knowledge, but these kinds of things are still very useful for those just getting started on their music-making journey.
Regarding the major/minor -> because the Scale device quantises the notes to be in a particular key, whether or not you randomise the major/minor switch in Nordmann, you'll still end up with major and minor chords at the output, because if Nordmann generates a particular major chord that might be out of the key, the scale device might quantise it such that it becomes a minor chord in the key and vice versa (or whatever other chord types are available in that particular key), so you still end up with a diversity of chord types within the key of choice.
It doesn't work!? What's the problem 🤔
i cant get this with live 9?
This should work with Live 9, no problem. As long as you have MaxForLive of course.
@@ELPHNT Thank you
