Let’s make music only now

The MatriX is waiting for you
I just released my latest sequencer for Ableton Live.
The official post is here

I liked to design it and I’ll be happy to improve it too.
I already had some nice feedbacks and I’m very curious of what you’ll design with it
It is a tool for me, but especially for all of us too!

Let me know if you want me to publish one of your nice sequence!

Now, let’s prepare the 2 shows
I’m now totally finishing to prepare my 2 live performances in UK on next friday & saturday.
I’m happy to fly there to meet Cycling 74 CEO & developers. Those gurus are cool & fun & .. GURUS.
I don’t regret too much to have declined the invitation to speak. My keynote wasn’t finished and I didn’t want to rush things & make a bad lecture.

I can announce here I’ll probably try to make it in french (!) in Marseille and after that, I’ll publish my Keynote slideshows.
The subject is : Max6 & Max for Live as the framework alternative to pure C++ programming

The MatriX sequencer as a composition tool

The new MatriX sequencer for Ableton Live I almost finished is a huge tool to design MIDI Clips too.
I’m already using it like that

Check this video:

Do you like it ?
Do you imagine how you would be able to use it ?

My tools makes you making music

It is such a strange and happy feeling.
Some people sent me their own music made with tools I designed!
It is really impressive to listen what they made & composed

I want to feature them as much as possible, so I hope they’ll send me more.

Especially, I’m totally amazed and fascinated by this track made with tools I designed (The Uncanny Sequencer + Drone Machine)
The user is named purzelifyable and I thanked him a lot.

Both tools are available here:
+ + The Uncanny Sequencer

The NEXT sequencer playing SKANNER

(check the video at the end of this article)

SKANNERis a synthesizer based on scanned synthesis, made by Native Instruments as a REAKTOR‘S ensemble (an ensemble is like a max patch, a bunch of visualized objects connected with cords)

Scanned synthesis involves a slow dynamic system whose frequencies of vibration are below about 15 Hz. The ear cannot hear the low frequencies of the dynamic system. So, to make audible frequencies, the “shape” of the dynamic system, along a closed path, is scanned periodically. The “shape” is converted to a sound wave whose pitch is determined by the speed of the scanning function. Pitch control is completely separate from the dynamic system control. Thus timbre and pitch are independent. This system can be looked upon as a dynamic wave table. The model can be compared to a slowly vibrating string, or a two dimensional surface obeying the wave equation.  (WIKIPEDIA)

A new sequencer in progress

I’m working (hard) this day to design/build a new sequencer for max for live / Ableton Live

It means I’m working a lot for Design the Media part of me.

The Uncanny Sequencer is already a huge success only 10 days after its release.
And especially people enjoys it A LOT. This is my best award!

I hope you’ll like the next.
