The partnership between Ableton and Cycling74, resulting in M4L has been one of the more exciting and innovative developments in the DAW world of recent years, allowing Ableton heads unprecedented access to the guts of their software and devices, and helping put some shape and ease-of-use onto the sometimes bewildering (obstinate?) world of Max/MSP composition and programming via Abletons intuitive workflow and GUI. I've yet to really get into the guts of programming for M4L but I've happily incorporated devices built by others into my productions, opening up new modulation possibilities.
All of which is a lengthy preamble for the news that there's a new update for Max 4 Live and some great new objects, including an LFO so you can get your dubstep wobble on!
* Robert Henke's ‘Granulator’ is a sample-based synthesizer which can transform any sound into a lush soundscape or a wall of noise.
* ‘Kapture’ from Gareth Williams and Richie Hawtin captures the state of your Live Set as a preset that can be instantly recalled.
* The LFO by Manuel Poletti, included in the latest release of Max for Live, enables you to apply a low-frequency oscillator to any applicable device parameters.
