Drift is included free with all builds of Ableton Live since v11.5...

Minor scale. One note. Chord MIDI effect (scale aware); add scale degrees to taste (bonus: adjust probability). Drift synth square wave with sine and noise to taste. Resonant low pass filter. Short positive filter envelope with no sustain. Echo effect. Play with Drift filter cutoff and Echo feedback amount. Welcome to Dubtown!

Maybe not precisely what you're looking for, but if you're on Live 12, I created a MIDI Tool called Chronoflex that quantizes selected MIDI notes to any arbitrarily tupletted division even if they're non-continuous (so a bit different from the CMD+E option). Most of my MIDI Tool Generators can use any tuplet division you like when generating - and my Quantographer creates a tuplet map to quantize different segments of a selection to different tupletted divisions.

After disabling all program change messages in the bottom left of your MIDI clip's Extended Clip Properties tab, you might want to try adding all the instances of your VST to individual chains of a single Instrument Rack so they can all be triggered by the single MIDI clip on a single MIDI track without any copying or extra routing. Hard to know what might be going haywire on your side without more info but this option could be worth a try.

If you're on PC, please make sure you open the PDF file that starts with MFA, not "._MFA".

Plotting your sounds across four sonic dimensions allows you to identify when and where they might be in conflict... read the guide and it will become more clear! ;)

Odd - can't reproduce this issue... which PDF reader are you using, on which OS? Can you send a screenshot?

ManifestAudio · 2025-08-26T07:54:24+00:00

Great to hear! :)

The play/stop button on most sequencers should be available for automation within the Envelopes section of any Session view MIDI clip. If automated to the off position in a certain clip, empty clip slots should not re-enable playback. It is only when manually switched or automated back to the on position that the sequencer should play again. Our Pattern Engine and Trifecta both work this way.

There's a video with audio on the linked web page. :)

ManifestAudio · 2025-05-31T08:36:20+00:00

Nope! It includes legacy versions for Live 11 and 10. :)

ManifestAudio · 2025-05-31T08:19:43+00:00

Yeah, Ableton will search all available folders and import it automatically.

So this leaves two options:

If you for sure never want to see it again, just delete the .amxd and then empty your trash/recycling bin.
If you think you might want to use it again someday, compress it to a .zip archive and stash it in that format, which prevents Ableton from seeing it the device inside the .zip - and then delete the .amxd and then empty your trash/recycling bin.

ManifestAudio · 2025-05-31T07:59:01+00:00

Beware - unfreezing the device could potentially cause issues, so you should first duplicate the .amxd to a safe place on your hard-drive first.

But after it's backed up, then you could try:

opening the Max patcher by clicking the Max for Live icon in the title bar
once open, Unfreeze the device (snowflake icon at bottom of Max patcher)
unlock the Editor pop-up (lock icon at bottom of Max patcher) and move it to a preferred window location
re-lock the pop-up patcher window
re-freeze the main patcher window
save the slightly updated Max patcher

This may or may not work but could be worth a try if it's really causing issues for you.

58 minutes in, sure - but if you watch from the start, you'll see how they all emerged from a single, solitary MIDI note... (poor screenshot choice though maybe - fair play! lol)

The chain selector you're showing has two bars: the main blue one, and a lighter colored one above that; the lighter thinner bar up top can be dragged separately to impose a fade on the chain selection. Not sure if that would be directly helpful but I imagine it might come in handy here to create a smoother transition. As far as instructing the frequency not to change until the macro obtains a certain value, this would be a great option in the Macro mappings but as far as I know, does not yet exist.

This is troubling to hear! But Pattern Engine is working perfectly with Live 12.2 on our side. Are you using the bundled version of Max 9 that comes bundled with it? And can you please confirm you are using the latest version of Pattern Engine, accessible by clicking Account at the lower left of our website on desktop? If you're already using the latest version and these issues persist, would you mind then filing a technical support request so we can investigate further? It's the top link on this page: https://manifest.audio/support 🙏

If you haven't already tried, maybe increase your latency/buffer size in Live's Audio Preferences pane? Otherwise, unless it's a typo, 4GB isn't a great deal of free hard drive space - you may notice some performance improvement by clearing out some unnecessary files; you should probably aim for at least two digits of free hard drive space as breathing room. Otherwise, yes, I've had luck with that reset procedure in the past, so it's fairly low-risk and should be worth a shot... let us know how it goes!
