Overview

Name | Version: Wave Field 1.0
Author: wavefolded
Device Type: MIDI Generator
Description: Turn animated visuals into evolving MIDI patterns.

Overview
Wave Field is a Generator-type MIDI Tool for Ableton Live 12 that derives melody patterns directly from animated visualisations. It features cymatics-inspired vibration patterns that ripple and shift like sand on a resonating plate, extracting MIDI data straight from its motion and shape. Pitch, velocity and note length all flow from the visual behaviour itself.

Key Features
• Animation-Driven Generation: Pitch, velocity and duration extracted directly from visual motion
• Real-Time Visualisation: Watch the patterns that shape your music
• Auto Mode: Patterns regenerate at selectable rate divisions synced to playback
• Density Control: Thin or thicken notes while preserving strong beats
• Span Parameter: Contract and expand patterns to rein in or open up the generation
• Transpose Control: Shift patterns by octave steps from -3 to +3
• Scale Awareness: Automatically quantises to your clip's root and scale

Mini-FAQ
Q: Is this just random notes?
A: No. Each device uses deterministic mathematical systems. The same animation state produces the same pattern.

Q: Can I edit the notes afterwards?
A: Absolutely. Patterns are printed directly into the clip so you can tweak, rearrange or build on them however you like.

Q: What's Auto mode?
A: When enabled, patterns regenerate automatically at the selected rate division while playback runs, creating continuously evolving sequences.
