SevenUpLive 2.0 Preview

SevenUpLive 2.0 Preview from bar|none on Vimeo.

"The new SevenUpLive 2.0 is a complete port of SevenUpLive to MAX For Live.

We are extremely excited about this new version since it allows for an almost zero initial configuration and rapid building of SevenUpLive-based sets. Allows for reuse of racks and tracks and a fully componentized model for drag and dropping SevenUpLive components as needed into a set. Save the state of all components with your set and save presets for components for reuse in other sets.

It also allows for MAX For Live developers to develop their own flavors of components for interacting with SevenUpLive."

"Since it's monomeet 2009 today, woke up and did a track in honor of not being able to make it this year. I also wanted to demo the live transposition features in SevenUpLive 1.4 Beta. Two patterns on the melodizer being transposed live, moving through different scale modes."

Roland SH-2000 Modification
Oberheim OB-X Repair
Moog Minimoog Tuning
Yamaha CS-60 Calibration
Oberheim 4-Voice Repair

On the SH-2000 pictured here:
"The Roland SH-2000 is a preset synthesizer with aftertouch from 1973 which isn’t exactly a beast, but with a modification performed it can certainly widen its sound palette to be useful, not in only vintage kids programs and “switched on-stuff”, but to more funky and modern stuff. The mod basically enables you to mix all presets as you wish, instead of just selecting one at a time. We did this mod to Swedish house artist’s Q-Force’s SH-2000, and he immediately made this track" Don't miss this track.
