What #maxforlive brings to Live 8: the Gerry Anderson version

International distress signal: Ableton Live 8 needs an extensible multimedia toolkit. This calls for Pod 5.

The Amazing Musical Grid on @cdmblogs

Max for Live is accelerating the development of numerous grid-oriented applications for the monome and related devices (Livid Instruments Ohm64, Novation Launchpad, Akai APC40).

LividStep: step sequencer made in Max For Live

"This details the major functions of Livid's Max For Live device, LividStep, including playback, how to: add and change sequences, control timing, navigate Live, and control instruments, all from the Livid controller.

The device works in Ableton Live with Livid ohm64 and block MIDI controllers. The device creates an eight step sequencer on one row of the 64 button grid. Fill eight live tracks with eight devices to fill the grid. Each sequence has independent time control for a huge variety of rhythmic possibility.

And, if you make it to the end, yes, the irritation at those who don't use a Livid controller is real and palpable :)"

@stretta on the process of designing multiple modular #monome applications in Max for Live

http://stretta.blogspot.com/2009/11/maxforlive-monome-integration.html

As a software engineer I'm convinced by the argument, but also have a strong belief in the unique nature of the creative flow afforded by the muscle memory that is employed when gigging with hardware controllers, and which can easily be lost when the eyes and fingers leave the instrument and interact with the computer.
