Max for Live

Device Details


Overview

Name | Version: P-4L 1.0
Author: ricoL
Device Type: Instrument
Description: P_4L is a Max for Live Device based on Plaits by Mutable Instruments.

It's a patchable semi-modular system with Plaits at the center, encouraging modulation and experimentation.

Demo: https://youtu.be/xCSp0a51mvg

All features and sound engines from the original Plaits are included, 16 sound engines, the internal envelope and low pass gate emulation, all patchable inputs and attenuverters etc.

Some other things have been added:

A fully-patchable modulation system
7 modulation sources
2x LFO's w/ continuously variable shapes
Smooth & Stepped random sources
The Aux output of the synth engine for audio-rate modulation
An ADSR envelope
and MIDI note-value (key-tracking)
A self-resonant and drivable Moog style ladder filter with 6 modes.
Modulation amount controls for Model, Harmonics, etc.
A Pulse generator to trigger the internal envelope and Sample and Hold.


This device is for use in Ableton Live - Live Suite or a Max for Live License is needed

This device has been tested on an Intel Mac

I don't know if it works on Windows PCs, or M1 Mac - why not give it a try and let me know?


Original Software Design by Émilie Gillet - This is not a Mutable Instruments Product.

It is Mac-only.

Well this is outstanding! Careful with your levels when you first load it up - there's no volume attn engaged by default so when you load it, you get full volume (without pressing a key). Just like how it would work in the real world!

This thing is stellar. I feel like it should be an instrument included with Live - thanks so much for sharing it with us! Off to play some more!

FM via the patchbay seems to be restricted to a pretty shallow depth.

Otherwise, pretty nice take!

This seems to be one of the best Plaits emulations on MaxForLive or even the best.
