Rainbow Circuit Steps Max for Live Device
Steps is a step sequencing modulator.
Inspired by Eurorack modules, Steps sequenced control signal can be mapped to
any of Lives parameters.
Installation
Unzip the .amxd file and drop the file to the following: ableton/user library/presets/audio effect/max audio effect.
The Step Sequencer
Steps is initiated and reset by the transport. Each step of the sequencer can be toggled to create both stepped and continuous outputs.
The sequencer UI is responsive to mouse dragging, allowing easy shaping of the control signal.
The Main Controls
The rate control adjusts the speed of the step sequencer, while the steps setting determines the maximum number of steps.
Direction sets the step sequencer direction: forward, backward, and forward & backward.
The min/max parameter scales the control signal. The control signal can be dynamically inverted using this control.
The smooth parameter smoothens the resulting control signal, useful for removing any audible bumps.
The chaos parameter leaves a little room for surprises, scrambling the step count.
Mapping
Steps mapping works similarly to Lives stock modulator devices. Simply click map, and while the mapping button is blinking, whatever parameter that is clicked on will be assigned the modulation.
In Live 12 the mapping can be toggled from remote which fully overrides control of the assigned parameter, to modulate which still enables user control of the assignment parameter while providing modulation.
