read moreUnleashing Creativity with the Waves H-Delay Wrapper for Max for Live
The "Waves H-Delay Wrapper" for Max for Live, developed by dopesamples, is an audio effect device positioned to enhance your creative audio manipulation in Ableton Live sessions. In its initial version 0.1.0, this wrapper facilitates control over most of the H-Delay's parameters directly from the Max for Live device, streamlining the creative process. However, users need to manually adjust the "Dual" and "Tap BPM" features directly within the plugin's interface, as they are not yet integrated into the wrapper's controls. While the "Ping Pong" and phase inversion functionalities are operational, users should note the lack of visual feedback within the device for these changes, necessitating automation directly within the Max for Live environment. Despite these preliminary limitations, dopesamples commits to providing updates for early adopters, refining the tool until it fully integrates with all H-Delay functionalities. This wrapper offers an evolving companion for those eager to explore innovative delay effects in their audio projects. For more information, you can visit dopesampless.gumroad.com.
