"SOLFA – A Generative MIDI Sequencer for Minimal and Experimental Music
https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...
Inspired by Arvo Pärt, Designed for Creative Exploration
SOLFA is a generative MIDI sequencer for Ableton Max for Live, built for electronic music producers, experimental composers, ambient sound designers, and those interested in algorithmic composition. Inspired by the works of Arvo Pärt, this tool allows you to create evolving, hypnotic patterns that seamlessly blend tonal minimalism with rhythmic complexity.
Minimal Pitch, Infinite Possibilities
At the core of SOLFA is a simple seven-note sequence. These notes are randomized across octaves, generating organic melodic shifts. This structured yet fluid approach results in endlessly varying musical textures that maintain a coherent harmonic identity.
Independent Rhythmic Structures
SOLFA employs isorhythmic principles, where the pitch sequence operates independently from the rhythm pattern. This allows for intricate, evolving interactions between melody and rhythm, giving rise to unexpected yet deeply musical results.
Ideal for Generative and Experimental Music
Whether you're composing ambient soundscapes, intricate polyrhythmic pieces, or avant-garde electronic music, SOLFA provides a unique method for crafting evolving compositions with minimal input. By embracing randomness within defined constraints, it encourages exploration while maintaining musical cohesion.
Unlock New Creative Dimensions
Transform simple ideas into dynamic, evolving sequences with SOLFA. Experiment with chance, structure, and unpredictability to discover new musical possibilities. Now available for Max for Live."

The M8 Tracker Is Absolutely Unstoppable

video upload by EZBOT

"The M8 Tracker is my all-time favorite portable groovebox. I've used it in several commercial productions and plan to use it for many more that are already in the pipeline. Why do I love it? Its workflow lets me program music in a linear song format—without the scope creep and clicky mania that comes with working in a DAW. For anyone who wants to write a song without being tied to a computer, there's no instrument I recommend more than the M8 Tracker by Dirtywave. Today we explore some new BETA features that really do up the power this tiny box has to offer."

Playing Ableton Push 3 as a synthesizer

video upload by Sineway

"The headline feature of Ableton Push 3 is those expressive MPE pads. MPE stands for MIDI Polyphonic Expression and means you can really play the pads as if it's an instrument, along with pitch glide, polyphonic aftertouch and other features. In this jam, we're playing the pads as part of the live performance, though pitch glide was replaced with polyphonic aftertouch instead.

❤️ Support our work and download the Ableton Live 12 project file for this jam by joining our Patreon community: / sineway

Technically, the Push 3 was running in controller mode when we recorded the jam. The jam could easily have been done in standalone though, it was more of a convenience decision so we could see on the computer screen that things recorded properly.

We've had the Push 3 Standalone for a little over a year now and will be publishing a review that compares it against the other production-focused groovebox champion, the MPC Live 2.

"A piece created using Max for Live synth ‪@noine-giron‬ NOIwavetableGEN, Rhodes Mark II, and TR-08. Undulating synthesizer sounds combine with rhythm machine beats and electric piano tones.

I build the bass and harmony using Max for Live’s synth NOIwavetableGEN (https://noine.gumroad.com/l/noi-wavet.... The bass is monophonized by narrowing its width with Utility.

The rhythm is played on the TR-08 and processed with reverb and filtering via NIGHTSKY.
