Velocity to Probability - Max for Live Device

This is a Max for Live device, which you can download here:
http://milkcrate.com.au/_other/downloads/M4L/little-scale_vel2prob.amxd

A velocity of 0 means that a note has 0% chance of being played. A velocity of 64 means that a note has 50% chance of being played. A velocity of 127 means that a note has 100% chance of being played. And so on.

Simple but useful.

GenMDM Global Strip - Max for Live Device

Description

This Max for Live MIDI effect device controls the global parameters of the GenMDM SEGA FM chip. Only one instance of the device is needed per GenMDM unit.

This MIDI effect devices allows for the control and automation of the following parameters: 

• Bend amount in semitones

• Octave division (default is 12, of course)

• Transpose

• NTSC or PAL tuning mode

• LFO enabled

• LFO speed

All of these parameters can normally be controlled via MIDI CC data, however the GenMDM Global strip makes the process more user-friendly as well as integrated into Live's automation and mapping environment.

Basic Usage:

1) Connect the GenMDM as per usual

2) Create a new audio track in Live. Route the SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis audio output to the track

3) Create a new MIDI track in Live. Route the output of the MIDI track to any GenMDM channel 1 - 6.

4) Add a copy of GenMDM Global Strip to the blank MIDI track.

5) Sequence note and velocity data as per normal. 

6) Change the parameters of the GenMDM Global Strip - you will hear the corresponding changes in sound.

GenMDM DAC Channel Strip - Max for Live Device

Description

This Max for Live MIDI effect device controls the DAC parameters of the GenMDM channel 6 - which corresponds to YM2612 FM channel 6 in DAC mode. 

This MIDI effect devices allows for the control and automation of the following parameters: 

• DAC on

• Oversample amount (i.e. pitch bend up)

• Sample rate change amount (i.e. pitch bend down)

• Custom waveform amount

• Custom waveform shape

All of these parameters can normally be controlled via MIDI CC data, however the GenMDM DAC channel strip makes the process more user-friendly as well as integrated into Live's automation and mapping environment.

GenMDM FM Channel Strip - Max for Live Device

Description

This Max for Live MIDI effect device controls the FM synthesis parameters of the GenMDM channels 1 - 6 (corresponding to the YM2612 FM channels 1 - 6). 

This MIDI effect devices allows for the control and automation of the following parameters: 

• preset

• algorithm

• LFO FM amount

• feedback

• panning

• LFO AM amount

• FM operator 1, 2, 3 and 4 level

• FM operator 1, 2, 3 and 4 detune

 • FM operator 1, 2, 3 and 4 attack

• FM operator 1, 2, 3 and 4 decay 1

• FM operator 1, 2, 3 and 4 decay 2

• FM operator 1, 2, 3 and 4 multiple

• FM operator 1, 2, 3 and 4 rate scale

• FM operator 1, 2, 3 and 4 amp 2

• FM operator 1, 2, 3 and 4 release

• FM operator 1, 2, 3 and 4 LFO AM on

All of these parameters can normally be controlled via MIDI CC data, however the GenMDM FM channel strip makes the process more user-friendly as well as integrated into Live's automation and mapping environment.

Basic Usage:

1) Connect the GenMDM as per usual

2) Create a new audio track in Live. Route the SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis audio output to the track

3) Create one or more new MIDI tracks in Live. Route the output of each MIDI track to GenMDM, between channels 1 - 6.

4) Add a copy of GenMDM FM Channel Strip to each blank MIDI track for each FM channel that should be controlled.

5) Sequence note and velocity data as per normal. 

6) Change the parameters of the GenMDM FM Channel Strip - you will hear the corresponding changes in sound.

Simple Prototype for a Elevator Position Display

My dad wants to add an elevator position display LED pair to his home. We will use a laser beam that, when interrupted, changes an LED to on and another to off - vice versa for when the beam is non-interrupted. There are plenty of ways that this could have been done, but I chose a super simple route - an LDR --> voltage divider --> hex logic inverter --> LEDs. The prototype works.
