MultiAnalyser – Free MaxforLive Device Displays Multiple Track EQ
MultiAnalyser – Free MaxforLive Device Displays Multiple Track EQ Isotonik Studios has just released a new MaxforLive Device – MultiAnalyser – that is capable of displaying up to 4 EQ curves from 4 separate tracks in Ableton. Think about it. You can at once see interfering frequencies on a single track, FINALLY. This is all thanks to one of the feature updates in Ableton 10, multichannel audio support. With the new update, you can now actually route any input to a device and route any output back out; the implications here promise wild applications with sidechaining, multi-effect sends, stereo/surround sound field manipulations, etc. Obviously, one possible use of this ability is to analyze multiple audio tracks at once which is where this device shines!

LFO Tool Presets for Ableton Shaper  To celebrate Ableton Live 10 release we’re giving away a free pack of presets for the new Shaper Max for Live devices included in Ableton Suite.  The Shaper tool is a smart LFO that allows you to draw custom waveshapes to modulate anything. Simply click the map button and then hit any knob, fader or button you want in Ableton. You can even map it to plugins.  This device reminded us the wonderful LFO Tool plugin from Xfer Records (makers of Serum).  The first thing we did is recreated all the presets that are included with the LFO tool to use inside the Shaper.   This will give you tons of Side Chain curves, modulation patterns and other experimental shapes to play around with.  Try to map it to volume, filter cutoff, pitch, wavetable position, pan or anything …
