Max for Live

Device Details


Overview

Name | Version: Clip Drift 1.0
Author: wavefolded
Device Type: Audio Effect
Description: Real-Time Clip Playhead Modulation. Bend time. Break loops. Remix live. Resample. Clip Drift is a Max for Live audio device that lets you dynamically shift the playhead of an audio clip in real time. Drop it onto any audio track, select a clip from the device and map any modulation source to the central Map control. The playhead will drift or jump across the waveform either quantised to the beat or completely freeform. Also includes clip pitch control with pitch randomisation.

Perfect for live performance, generative music, glitch FX, microsound experimentation, creating variations of clips, remixing tired old clips or just giving static loops a new dimension of life.

Key Features
– Real-time clip playhead modulation via external mapping
– Quantised and unquantised playback modes
– Auto playback when selecting a new clip
– Clip pitch modulation with optional randomisation
– Visual playhead indicator inside the device
– LED feedback for pitch changes
– Lightweight and performance-friendly
– Built for creative abuse
– Pairs well with Elphnt's Steps for sequenced modulation

Hi
I can't find your email so I'm commenting here.
I've tried in Session and Arrangement view and Clip Drift won't let me Select Clip in either Live 12.1 or 12.2

This sounds like such a cool M4L so I hope you help get this working!

Thanks

After a few reboots I figured out it only likes really short samples - M4L can be like that 🙄
I'm excited to see where this device goes in the future, but it's a really cool idea and I'll keep playing with it

Hey guys! Sorry to hear about those issues, I’m happy to offer a refund through Gumroad and do some more testing.
