Overview

Name | Version: SlidePitch 2.0
Author: carlosbtlr
Device Type: MIDI Transformation
Description: SlidePitch is a Max for Live MIDI Transformation Tool that lets you reshape and manipulate MIDI pitch in creative ways right from within Ableton Live's MIDI clips. From monophonic and polyphonic simple pitch transformations to diatonic and scale aware advanced transformations, SlidePitch is an incredible tool to keep you inspired and in the flow while you're writing melodies, accompaniments, harmonies or chord progressions.

Step Sliders
Adjust pitch for specific notes or groups with the UI step sliders. The step sliders can be dragged vertically and horizontally to create complex sequences. The alt/option key can be used to reset individual sliders, the shift key can be used to adjust the sliders with higher precision, the ctrl/cmd key can be used to transpose all the slider values up or down simultaneously, and the ctrl+alt / cmd+option combo can be used to lock step sliders so that they’re not affected by UI changes.

Grid Mode
Switch between per-note and interval based transformations. Use this to lock changes to Live's quantization grid.

Chord Mode
Switch between per-note and chord based transformations. Use this to make changes to entire chord blocks.

Custom Groups
Dial in the number of notes you want to group together. Use this to make transformations to groups of notes.

Chromatic and diatonic modes
Switch between chromatic and diatonic modes to fit any key or harmony.

MIDI Capture
Capture any amount of pitch classes from your MIDI files and use them to set your own custom scales when working in diatonic mode.

Transformation Offset
Offset the starting point at which the transformation is applied. This can be used in combination with the Groups parameter to produce countless variations by shifting the slider to notes mapping across your selection.

UI Controls
Make fast variations with randomization, scrambling, rotation, shifting, reverse and flipping. Use this to try out new pitch variations.

Automatic Scale Awareness
Get automatic scale awareness by just turning on Scale mode in Live. Use this to make melodies conform to Live’s scale and root.

Wrap Mode
This mode will make the transformation wrap across the selected notes when the number of notes is bigger than the number of sliders. Use this to have your transformation ripple across larger note selections.

Minimum Requirements:

- Ableton Live 12
- Max 9
