unearthed test track from a few years ago
was trying a new (at the time) m4l port of our rig - a lot closer to the way the rig works in Max than the older port we used on SIGN/PLUS
(so a good chunk of it was culled from the bit of the set i was working on then)
@sean_ae Beautiful ending there
-
@sean_ae really nice flow to this one. were you using the modalys physical modeling stuff for this? I've tried the official m4l version of that with mixed results, but I'm guessing it's pretty limited relative to the full package
@silvermoats i haven't tried that version so idk what the differences are there
i actually sloped off using it a while ago cos it can be too flaky for using on stage, but i still have a strong liking for it; it's a fun way to work and you can do a lot with it as long as it behaves itself

@sean_ae i just double checked and it's limited to a handful of preset membranes, I remember it sounding pretty cool but limited compared to some of the physmod stuff bundled with Live, that all might have come out later though.
what I've had the most fun with is the modal bank in Reaktor, which can load up to 10k modes at a time, but yeah it's pretty heavy going on the CPU

@sean_ae Love it, super lush, especially the second half
-
@Galarem yeah the middle and end bits were just following the thread in Live and seeing where it went
didn't have a plan really it just happened that way
@sean_ae That's cool! It loosely reminds me of one bit in the Denver set (one of my absolute favs, judging by audience recordings).
I love this track btw, just wanna say thanks for sharing it

@sean_ae Snappy! Excellent percussion envelope times.

@sean_ae Ohhhhhh sexy! I like how the beat feels lopey and off despite the tempo being steady. Really great mix of hard and soft sounds if that makes sense? The way they vary from metallic to rubbery to alien. And how it gets hiccuppy in the middle before the big open space. Then there it sounds all brassy and orchestral like some weird orchestra with bagpipes. Then the way the beat resumes but in a different order is dope as it morphs into drone.
In short, a perfect cover of Venga Bus.

@changterhune hey cheers, glad u like
My head’s in a bit of a diff place now but playing it earlier I was surprised, I don’t rem much about doing it
Nice to see people liking the back half of it cos that was my fav bit

@sean_ae thank you for sharing. Keep up the great work!
-
@sfn yeah it's similar to one of the snares in the set, tweaked a bit
all the module pattr stuff is available in Live now and i can load/save settings between Live and the rig
much better than it was trying to keep them as two separate things
@sean_ae did it not work by default in Live? the .json sharing? i havent tried M4L tbh but i assumed it doesnt rly are about it, its cool tho. (my file structure is like i have a folder for ie. synths/fmysnth (module name)/fmsynth.maxpat and (presets) folder where all the jsons live

@sean_ae oh word yeah it’s funny how often I’m fading a track out thinking, “this groove is rad how about another few minutes?” Sometimes I end up chopping off half the song which can be astonishingly different. But in this it’s not two different songs but the back half kinda flips it around and interpolates it about.

@sfn yeah it would have but the parameters in the first port were stored in the Live files instead of the patches
Idk why I did that, just trying a diff way I suppose (supposedly the correct way)

@changterhune yeah I like how things can just grow out of other things
Like I would never have just made that ending part as a track, it had to be a reaction to that first stuff

@sean_ae ahhaaa i see. and how does it work in Live? just out of curiousity, Live differentiates between midi and audio channels no? so can u load an entire channel with seq synth fx, or is it one module per live device or whatever its called?

@sean_ae brilliant tune. Brilliant albums

@sfn yeah there’s midi and audio channels and different device types that have to appear in order in there (there’s a logic to it but it’s a bit annoying sometimes eg if your fx modules require sequencing, you have to send that from a midi channel)
It’s all doable but a bit of a faff (but then VST fx don’t have note input either so it is what it is) -

@sean_ae this is so sick
sounds like that three tone snippet u posted ages ago
four tone? -

@sean_ae EXACTLY. Ahem. But it’s like an order of operations or algorithm in a way. Or one could say a meditation or invocation to arrive at that point of awareness that there is more in the tangents.

four tone?@juneonline I guess it could be

@juneonline I guess it could be
@sean_ae also want to ask, whats the motivation behind making an ableton port of the system when u could just use the system itself on max?
