Tom Cosm’s Max For Live Devices

Tom Cosm’s Max For Live Devices

Tom Cosm's been making a load of useful max for live devices over the last 12 months. There's the leakage automatic glitch bassline machine the locator trigger and solo automator and a few of his early ones Sample Layer Version 1.0 - Triggers multiple samples in a drum rack with slight delays between each, great for layering snares and claps with a bit of slop.

Half and Double Tempo Version 1.0 - Simple little guy that...

A free vocoder and a couple of tutorials

A free vocoder and a couple of tutorials

Ableton's vocoder is pretty solid and very useful for a whole host of applications as you can see in the video below, but i wanted to drop a quick post on the vocoder from TAL which is a vintage vocoder emulation with 11 bands and available for free on their website. It's slightly different to setup than other plug ins so here is a quick video tutorial. One of the fun things about vocoders is they can be great for bringing a bass to life and here is a nice little tip for fans of the neuro bass sound using abletons built in...
