As the Monome, or, more accurately, its driver application, communicates via Open Sound Control (OSC), the MaxMSP engine used inside MFL can use its own networking support to talk to a Monome directly. Neil Bufkin's authentically‑styled editor for the Roland Juno 106This explosion of activity in the realm of physical controllers has been a bit surprising, especially as Max For Live imposes constraints on the MIDI environment used by its Max instruments and effects. Other hardware vendors have been following suit: Livid Instruments (makers of the Ohm64 - reviewed elsewhere in this issue - and Block VJ/media controllers) have released a step sequencer tailored towards their products, and Novation now have a step sequencer for the Launchpad.

The archetypal Monome sample-cutting application, MLR, is predictably available in Max For Live form, as is the multi‑function SevenUp Live, and Matthew Davidson (aka Stretta) recently ported all of his stand‑alone Monome instruments into an MFL format.

Since much of the Monome software is already oriented towards beats and loops, the ability to link into Live's loop‑based Clip machinery and effects routing is obviously very tempting. There has been a lot of activity by programmers and artists using the Monome (reviewed in SOS September 2008), the minimal interactive button matrix coveted by fashionable beat‑slicers everywhere. Many MaxMSP programmers have been rushing to convert their Max patchers into an MFL format - a task which, at the very least, means shoehorning user interfaces into Live's 169‑pixel‑high Detail View pane. Obo, Stretta's Monome matrix sequencer, shoehorned into Live's Detail Pane. While Max programming is a little beyond the scope of this article, it is useful to know that all this Max For Live content is available in source form, so if you do decide to take the plunge and learn some Max, there's plenty of material to look at. Max For Live devices can also be modified. Even users who have no knowledge of MaxMSP can use these devices, and their presets, just like any other devices built into Live, with no obvious sign, apart from the splash screen on launch, that Max For Live is involved. The Max For Live package comes bundled with three sophisticated devices - Step Sequencer (a MIDI effect), Buffer Shuffler (an audio effect) and Loop Shifter (an instrument, albeit a rather bizarre one) - and also includes Pluggo For Live, a set of devices derived from the now-discontinued Pluggo plug‑in collection. In addition, there is a programming interface that allows Max For Live to control Live itself, for example by manipulating tracks, Scenes and Clips, or controlling a mix, or interacting with one of Live's supported control surfaces. Max For Live allows MaxMSP to be used to create Live MIDI effects (which process MIDI data exclusively), audio effects (which process audio), and instruments (which take MIDI performance data and transform it into audio). MaxMSP appears inside Live, manifesting itself as Live instruments and effects, and Live is effectively made open‑ended, because Max For Live devices can be modified in real time in MaxMSP, even while Live is running, as Live's audio, MIDI and automation data are dynamically diverted through MaxMSP. Max For Live (reviewed in the February 2010 issue of SOS) is an Ableton product that interfaces Live with Cycling 74's MaxMSP graphical programming environment for digital media. Look out for the follow‑up article, where we'll be going further down the rabbit hole and taking our first steps from the familiarity of Ableton Live into the curious world of MaxMSP, exploring simple MIDI and audio processing, automation and presets, with worked examples. In this, the first of our articles on Max For Live, we'll be looking at what has been done with it in the developer community so far, and how it might be starting to change the Ableton landscape. Novation's step sequencer for the Launchpad in Max For Live.

We take a look at what's already been created in the three months since its release.

The introduction of MaxMSP adds an entirely new dimension to Live.
