After an autumn of daytime jobs, travel and physical activity rather than geeky, music making. December finally dropped some free time and inspiration. Those who have been following me from my first attempts at Max programming (Macro Modulator) through the Jazzmutant co-operation (DyNAmic), know that I have a crush on Ms. Step Sequencer. Notes, pitches, but most of all - modulation - arranged over time, in a grid of some sort. Lovingly inspired by the work of Elektron.
So, here comes Inflection. A Max for Live device being controlled by Novation Launchpad. Rubbery buttons. Shiny LEDs. Plenty of patch cords.
The patch itself is still in some sort of pre-release-state, but those of you daring enough can download it here. Don’t count on any amounts of support. My focus is on improving and getting rid of quirks. So any reports of oddities are most welcome.
There are a number of things that you should know before trying it out. It only works on track 1, it assumes Launchpad is first in your list of control surfaces, settings are not saved from session to session, it has no preset/patch storing capability. You’ll probably discover more.
As of now, I just use it to play around and record any useful pattern to audio. Hope it’ll bring a smile to your face as well. Now - have a look at the video!
