The External Sequencer Re-Sync Button 1.0, developed by 2touch, is a Max4Live audio effect designed for Ableton Live users who perform with external sequencers. When you pause or stop sequencers like the Digitakt during a live set, they often lose sync with the global transport, declaring the restarted instant as the downbeat. This device solves that issue by checking for a button press every bar and, if detected, stops and restarts the global transport on the first beat, sending a midi clock start to all connected equipment. This re-synchronizes their sequencers with Ableton Live’s global metronome, making it invaluable when precision timing is critical. While this workaround requires a double-click to activate when MIDI or key-mapped—due to its toggle behavior—it excels in looped sections of a performance, although you should be cautious of jumping sections if follow actions are used. Ideal for performers facing unexpected sync challenges, the External Sequencer Re-Sync Button ensures a cohesive musical performance without missing a beat.

The Chord Voice Splitter 1.0 developed by MrD is a groundbreaking Max4Live MIDI Effect designed to expand creative possibilities in Ableton Live by enabling producers to distribute individual notes of a chord to different synthesizers. By incorporating a unique "Recorder" and "Receiver" system, this device allows musicians to orchestrate complex multi-synth arrangements effortlessly. Upon playing a chord, users must lift a single key to trigger the note output, facilitating dynamic voice management. Whether sending the bottom voice to a Minimoog or the top to Serum, the Chord Voice Splitter's "3 channel" mode further customizes voice allocation, assigning mid-range voices collectively to a single receiver. This innovative device not only challenges traditional playing techniques but also encourages sonic experimentation by allowing seamless chaining with multiple receivers for richer polyphony. As MrD invites further development collaboration, the device holds great potential for advancing MIDI manipulation and creative expression in live performances and recording sessions alike. With demo projects available, the device capitalizes on Ableton Live 12 and Max 8 integration, beckoning users to explore their musicality by offering unmatched control over synth harmonization and voice leading.

read moreMastering Tempo Control with the Micron Synchronizer 3.1 in Ableton Live
In the world of MIDI effect devices, the Micron Synchronizer 3.1 crafted by PatriceEliseEarle, stands out by providing an innovative solution for tempo control within Ableton Live. This Max4Live device operates as a time-based MIDI effect, skillfully aligning the tempo of your Live Set through the unique use of its TUNE and OCT functions. These functions work to calibrate the tempo from a tuning frequency, offering a broad frequency range from C32Hz to B63Hz, with the industry-standard A440Hz mapped to A55Hz. By manipulating the TUNE to select a base integer and OCT for the octave multiple, users can derive a PITCH frequency readout congruent with the chromatic scale. The resultant TEMPO is calculated by multiplying this PITCH by 60, and this value is seamlessly transmitted to the Live Set. This method provides an artistic and precise tempo modulation, giving producers a new tool to creatively modify tempo, elevating their compositions with expansive and dynamic tempo changes during live performances. Available for Ableton Live version 11.3.35 and Max version 8.6.5, this commercial MIDI device awaits its debut download from https://patriceeliseearle.com/store.
