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.

As much triggering as you can handle: Noise Engineering Multi Repetitor

Tough times and tight spaces call for deep algorithmic generative triggers. So now is a great time for Noise Engineering to reimagine their trigger module. Tap a tempo, patch a cord, and instantly spin up percussive patterns you can freely modulate — the best of what the company gave us before, but now with live performance transformations and more possibilities. It’s Multi Repetitor. It’s Multi Repetitor. Sorry.
