Now meshes, video, and more can go 3D inside Ableton Live: SenSei update

EboSuite and SenSei, live visual add-ons for Ableton Live, got some nice updates this week. SenSei, the tool that puts the power of Unreal Engine inside Ableton Live, gets a particularly major expansion, with some 27 new plug-ins, including mesh loaders, 3D video effects, visualizers, dynamic surfaces, and a video overlay.

Essential mix: let an hour of tilde’s music energize you (then nerd out!)

Glitchy but driving broken beats are what’s for dinner. Hannover’s tilde (~) is a font of knowledge on topics from Pd/plugdata to Bitwig Studio Grid FX to mixing and mastering. And those skills translate to some genius grooves. Listen up to this full-power montage of all original music.

Curve time with Tomavatars’ MGenBend for Ableton Live Suite: hands-on

Escaping the rigid, repetitive grid helps to make gestures the way we would on instruments. I’ve been talking to Tomavatars as he developed this one, and the MGenBend Max for Live Device lets you create elegant, multi-point curves for notes, strumming, and arpeggios.
