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.
