With the release of Max 7, Cycling ‘74 introduced a number of new capabilities to the venerable visual programming language. Among the many innovations are a several objects and devices that offer new possibilities in real-time intonation, pitch and time correction. Since Max for Live (as of Live 9.2) is based on Max 7, we wanted to highlight some of the new devices Cycling ‘74 introduced with Max 7 in the form of this convenient, free Pack for all Max for Live users.
Max 7 Pitch and Time Machines includes the following devices, grouped by category:
Sample Playback
Magenta Studio lets you use AI tools for inspiration in Ableton Live. Mod Max: One free download fixes Live 10’s new kick. Peter Kirn - April 24, 2018.
Classic Player – A standard stereo/dual-mono sample player. This device uses the groove~ object without pitch/time corrections. It features the basic patch structure used in some other more complex examples.
PitchTime Player – A stereo/dual-mono sample player with pitch and time correction. This device introduces some settings which control the pitch and time correction feature.
PitchCorrect Player – A stereo/dual-mono sample player with pitch and formant correction. This device introduces some settings which control pitch and formant correction.
Synced Player – A stereo/dual-mono sample player synced to transport. This device uses the time/pitch correction feature of the groove~ object in order to play in sync with Max or Live's transport.
Bit Player – A sequence-able sample player, synced to transport. This device allows for re-ordering sample playback in sync with Max or Live's transport.
Sampler Instrument – A polyphonic sampler instrument with time-stretching. This device uses the time/pitch correction feature of the groove~ object in a MIDI instrument structure. The DSP part of the patch is embedded into a poly~ container, allowing you to load an open number of instances of a patcher file, and thus allows the use of polyphonic audio synthesis, audio processing, or even control tasks.
Pitch Shifting
Simple Pitch Shifter – A simple stereo pitch shifter. This device uses the pitchshift~ object to perform sound transposition.
Pitch&Vibrato – Stereo pitch shifter with vibrato. This device uses the pitchshift~ object to perform sound transposition. We've added a double LFO which acts as a pitch vibrato.
Pitch&Echo – Stereo pitch shifter with vibrato & feedback. This device uses the pitchshift~ object to perform sound transposition. We've added a double LFO which acts as a pitch vibrato. Additionally, the device inserts the pitch transposer into a delay line to create the famous 'harmonizer' sound.
Dual Harmonizer – A dual-mono pitch shifter with vibrato and feedback. This device uses the pitchshift~ object to perform sound transposition. It is similar to the Pitch & Echo device, except that the stereo echo effect is split into two independent mono delay lines, so that each audio channel can be treated separately.
Multi Harmonizer – 10 notes/20 voices pitch shifter. This device uses the pitchshift~ object in a polyphonic patch structure, thus allowing multiple harmonizations. The DSP part of the patch is embedded into a poly~ container, allowing you to load an open number of instances of a patcher file, and thus allows the use of polyphonic audio synthesis, audio processing, or even control tasks.
Pitch Analysis
Pitch Tracker – This device uses the retune~ object to perform some pitch tracking from monophonic input sound. The detected pitch can be monitored using a simple monophonic synthesizer. The estimated pitch and velocity are transformed into MIDI notes, which can be sent to other devices using the MIDI outlet when the device is used in Max. In Live, we use a special MIDI-side-chaining device, called 'Max MIDI Receiver,' in order to catch MIDI data from other devices such as the present one.
Vocoding
Mono Vocoder – A dual-mono vocoder. This device uses the retune~ object to force a monophonic signal to a given pitch, thus acting like a vocoder device. Pitch correction can be tweaked with some dedicated parameters, according to the type of sound that is processed.
Poly Vocoder – 10 notes/20 voices vocoder. This device is similar to the Mono vocoder device, but uses a polyphonic patch structure, thus allowing multiple harmonizations. The DSP part of the patch is embedded into a poly~ container, allowing you to load an open number of instances of a patcher file, and thus allows the use of polyphonic audio synthesis, audio processing, or even control tasks.
Retuning
Autotuna – A scale-based microtonal auto-tuner that can use Scala files. This device uses the retune~ object to tune the audio to a given scale. Scales can be either entered by hand, or loaded from Scala files – a file format for musical tunings that is a standard for exchange of scales. Learn more about Scala.
Microtuner – A table-based microtonal auto-tuner that can use Scala files. This device is similar to the Autotuna example device, except that scales are entered using a graphic function whose shape can be curved, thus providing some unexpected pitch scales.
MIDI-Side Chaining
Max MIDI Sender & Max MIDI Receiver – In Live, audio and MIDI tracks don't communicate any MIDI data to each other. However, in some cases sending MIDI data to an audio effect might be useful: for instance, if you'd like to send a MIDI chord to a vocoder or harmonizer device using a MIDI keyboard.

Full Max for Ableton Live Packs Free Download 2021
Full Max for Ableton Live Packs is a collection of audio and MIDI effects, synthesizers, and control devices, with Max – for use for life.
Full Max for Ableton Live Packs Essentials consists of 16 instruments, 10 audio effects, and 8 MIDI effects. The pack also features demo live sets that showcase the new Max for Live Max and Drum Synths as well as Instrument, Audio, and MIDI effects racks. The maximum for the Live Essentials Pack includes:
Synthesizer
BASS: A monophonic virtual analog synthesizer that provides a full palette of bass sounds in one device – from classically deep and clean to heavily distorted, rumble tones.
POLI: A virtual analog synth designed to play classic polyphonic chords and phrases. Its vintage character comes from de-tunable oscillators, a powerful modulation section, and a built-in chorus.
Multi: A highly versatile and fun multimode synthesizer that combines six synthesis engines into one device. Designed for intuitive sound generation, multi’s parameter controls change according to the selected mode, while the selected random control lets you search for inspiring, unexpected sounds.
Drum Synthes: 13 custom-made synthesizers for drum and percussion sounds, with velocity controls on just about every parameter. Try them for leads and bases as well.
Audio effects
Convergence Reverb: A sample-based reverb suite with hundreds of impulses from real-world locations and world-class hardware. Characteristic of two devices; Convergence Reverb and Convergence Rever Pro, with manipulation control, is a utility to create your own reverb space.
Buffer Shuffler 2.0: An improved version of Live 8’s Buffer Shuffler, with new effects for indexing (including stutter, gate, pitch, frequency shift, amp, and pain), as well as improved interface and redesigned interface with pattern storage. New options for “dice” mode give you a fine tune of how sequences change over time.
Pitch drop: The vinyl slows down the sound of the record after the turntable’s motor turns off. This minimizes the impact of sound.
Midi effect
Arp: An Advanced Pattern-Based MIDI Arpeggiator. It can sort, repeat, and transpose incoming MIDI notes, while also controlling many other parameters such as note length, velocity, and more.
Monosexpensers: The sequence of a melody according to a flexible grid, with separate dedicated sequencers for note, velocity, octave, duration, and note repeats. Notes can be locked on key and scale, and each sequence comes with an intelligent randomizer. Scenes can be synced with life, or triggered via MIDI input.
Instant Haus: A beat generator that is adapted for house music or broken beats and comes with a variety of patterns for both genres.
Note Echo: A MIDI echo with many distinctive features.

MAP8: A utility macro device that is particularly useful with push and other eight-knob controllers.
LFO: A Full Max for Ableton Live Packs devices that uses LFO (low-frequency oscillator) to modify a single parameter in your live set. There is also a MIDI version of LFO.
Multipopper: A control device that allows you to map up to eight parameters anywhere in your live set.
XYPad: This allows you to control two live parameters with the XY Pad.
Envelope: Full Max for Ableton Live Packs device that uses an envelope function generator to modify a single parameter in your live set.
