Ableton MIDI Note Mapper

video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto

"A drum pattern should not lose its musical identity simply because the receiving instrument uses a different MIDI note layout. A kick should remain a kick, a snare should remain a snare, and a closed hi hat should remain a closed hi hat.
https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...

MIDINoteMapper 2.0 is a Max for Live MIDI Effect that translates drum notes by musical role instead of applying a simple pitch shift. Select the source map and destination map, then move the same rhythm between different drum machines and Drum Racks without rewriting the MIDI clip note by note."

YAMAHA TQ5 & Ableton Telequencer

YAMAHA TQ5 × Ableton Telequencer | Reawakening the Legendary "Lately Bass" in an Improvised Session

The iconic FM bass sound of the 1980s, Lately Bass, still holds its own today with its punchy, glossy character. In this session, I brought it back to life using a YAMAHA TQ5 and a custom Ableton Live MIDI device called Telequencer.

Telequencer is a step sequencer that allows intuitive programming of pitch, duration, and MIDI CC. It also features shuffle rhythm, snake-style pattern progression (inspired by Make Noise Rene), pattern rotation, flexible step counts, and customizable reset points—tools that invite both structured and improvised approaches.

With this setup, I'm exploring a style of performance that simply wasn't possible in the 1980s:
dynamic, fluid sequencing combined with the raw sonic character of FM hardware.
This isn’t about nostalgia—it's about discovering what Lately Bass can do in a present-day creative environment."

First Patch // Whimsical Raps - Atrium | Dark Ambient

video upload by Luukke

"This is the first preset/patch I have made on the Whimsical Raps - Atrium, and it was made in the first hour or so of getting it home.

I wanted to show it here, as I feel like a lot of the stuff I've heard online so far is in the pretty/beautiful category. But the Form engine in particular is wonderfully chaotic and capable of getting into much gnarlier territory. The patch itself tonally reminds me of some of the feedback patches i've done with the Serge.

Many many thank yous to Trent + Dani and everyone at Whimsical Raps. Atrium is incredibly inspiring, immediate and interactive. A true musical instrument.

Lightly processed in Ableton with delay from Echoboy."

Tubbutec SH-1oh1 Max for Live Editor and Controller for the Roland SH-101

Tubbutec SH-1oh1 Editor for Roland SH-101 | Ableton Live Controller video upload by Studiomood



Studiomood has released SH-1oh1 Control, a Max for Live editor and MIDI controller for the Tubbutec SH-1oh1 upgrade installed in a Roland SH-101.

At the heart of the device is the Mood Engine, a 24-preset system designed for turning one sound into a whole collection of related variations. Inspired by the fast sound-variation workflow associated with the legendary AFX Mode, it encourages you to create a sound, copy it to the next preset, change a few parameters and keep moving.

Instead of treating presets as isolated patches, the Mood Engine makes them feel like different states of the same sound. Start with a bass sequence, copy it, open the filter, change the envelope, add an accent or push the extra LFO into filter FM territory. Within minutes, you can build a complete bank of connected variations and switch between them from Ableton Live or an external MIDI controller.

The video demonstrates exactly this Mood Engine workflow in action, moving through a series of connected SH-1oh1 sound variations and showing how a single starting point can evolve from preset to preset:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-w1x0MWApas

This makes the modified SH-101 especially interesting for live performance, evolving sequences and fast studio experimentation. Presets can be selected with the arrow buttons, Random can generate an unexpected starting point, and Reset clears the current preset when you want to begin again.

Behind the Mood Engine is a complete software editor for all MIDI-controllable SH-1oh1 parameters. Cutoff, envelope amount, the additional filter ADSR, filter and volume accents, accent decay and the extra filter LFO are all available directly inside Ableton Live. The LFO offers coarse and fine rate control, covering everything from slow movement to extreme filter FM sounds.

Velocity can be mapped to 9 different targets: None, Cutoff, Volume Accent, Filter Accent, Accent Switch, Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release.

Clock sources for the Arpeggiator/Sequencer and Random LFO can be selected from internal LFO, external trigger input, MIDI clock and MIDI note. The corresponding clock dividers are also available directly from the Max for Live device.

Settings are stored with the Ableton Live project. When returning to a session, Send All transmits the current parameter values back to the modified SH-101, bringing the hardware and software back together without having to recreate the sound by hand.

SH-1oh1 Control turns the expanded architecture of the Tubbutec modification into a hands-on Ableton instrument, with the Mood Engine opening up a fast and playful way to explore how far a Roland SH-101 sound can be pushed.

Requirements
Roland SH-101 with the Tubbutec SH-1oh1 hardware upgrade
Ableton Live with Max for Live
MIDI interface
SH-1oh1 Control is available from Studiomood for €19.95 including VAT.

No Plan, Just Sound | Live Hardware Jam with Ableton Move × Circuit

video upload by microMarie

"Tonight was something different: no prepared DJ set, no finished tracks — just the Ableton Move, Novation Circuit and a lot of improvisation.

I built loops, switched between both machines and tried to turn spontaneous ideas into a live electronic performance. Not everything was planned, not everything was perfect — but that is exactly what makes a hardware jam exciting.

Expect melodic moments, driving drums, changing grooves and a few chaotic experiments along the way."
