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 | 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."

Buchla 259e & Music Easel | Drone
video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto
"The West Coast Legacy of Spectral Dynamics
In the history of electronic instrument design, Don Buchla represents a fundamental departure from traditional subtractive synthesis. While the East Coast sought to emulate the orchestra through filtered harmonic structures, the Buchla philosophy centered on the manipulation of complex timbres through Frequency Modulation and Waveshaping. This technical foundation prioritizes the physical behavior of sound. It treats electricity as a living organism rather than a static signal. The Buchla 259e Twisted Waveform Generator remains a pinnacle of this approach, utilizing digital wavetables and nonlinear feedback loops to create textures that defy conventional classification."

140 Bass Music | Elektron Machinedrum
video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto
"Machinedrum: Precision in Sound Design
https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...
Explore the unique sonic signature of the Elektron Machinedrum through a carefully curated sample pack. Every drum hit and loop is sourced exclusively from the original hardware, capturing the technical essence that made this digital instrument a cornerstone for experimental, industrial, IDM, and electronic music. Authentic Digital Character
The sounds reflect the early 2000s digital drum architecture, including its DA converters and computational synthesis methods. The result is a set of tones that are sharp, precise, and strikingly different from anything current software can replicate. Each sample retains the mechanical clarity and algorithmic complexity that define the Machinedrum experience.
Crafted for the Curious Creator
Even if the Elektron Machinedrum is new to your workflow, the textures reveal the innovation of its early designers. Founded with a focus on algorithmic sound shaping and sonic exploration, Elektron engineered a platform where every parameter contributes to its distinctive audio fingerprint. This sample pack allows creators to incorporate that unique character directly into their productions.
Continuous Expansion All files are delivered through Sellfy and automatically updated for existing users. New material is added over time, giving you access to an expanding library of sonic possibilities. Whether layering industrial beats or designing intricate IDM patterns, this collection provides a foundation that combines historical precision with modern flexibility."

Sinewave Reel from Morphagene (Reels Pack)
https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...
Recomposing the Architecture of Sound
The Make Noise Morphagene functions as a system for reorganizing recorded time. Each splice and grain becomes a modular event, where sound is reshaped through control voltage, feedback, and probability.
The Morphagene Reels Sample Pack ver.2.1 extends this system by providing a collection of reel structures designed for direct use. It includes 26 sets of curated sound materials that range from TB-303 inspired acid patterns to dubstep modulations, color bass textures, rave stabs, Wave atmospheres, retro PCM timbres, breakbeats, and industrial percussive elements. Every reel is pre-labeled with accurate splice points, enabling immediate interaction within Morphagene without additional editing."

Ambient | LYRA-8 & Ableton REcho
video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto
"The SOMA LYRA-8 has earned a reputation as one of the most unconventional analog synthesizers ever built. It does not follow the rules of standard pitch, MIDI sequencing, or predictable modulation. Instead, it generates sound through an organic interaction of oscillators, distortion stages, and feedback paths. Every note is less a fixed frequency and more a living event shaped by your touch, voltage instabilities, and the nonlinear behavior of its circuitry.

Minimoog & Ableton SOLFA – A Generative MIDI Sequencer for Minimal and Experimental Music
video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto
"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."
