I looked at my M4L patch and thought that would not be a complex one to port to pure VST, thanks to Blue Cat Plug'N'Script, an given that I already had most of the elements coded in C++, so here you go with the AU/VST/VST3 versions for Win and OSX (including M1). Link shortly ;-)
Let me know if you encounter any issue.
Installation under macos is scripted, see readme file.
Under windows, each version goes along with its data folder in the usual locations for VST2 and VST3 (s...

Dear supporters,
I wanted to be able to do some DJ decks automation with filter and couldn't find any dj style morph filter, you know, the one that filter highs when going left, doing nothing in the middle, and filter lows when going right. As usually, when I don't find an existing solution I make my own !
So here you go, link in a few minutes (valid for 7 days through Dropbox).
Enjoy and let me know in the comments if you'd like some more options (like variuous steepness or...

Firstly wishing you a very happy new year, may 2023 be full of happiness and all good things !
Wanted to let you know where we are now, and wrap up a bit on 2022:
- Developed and posted my LUFS M4L device (the full version of it is due to be released in the coming weeks officially)
- A big work on designing a Kick device (live coding, quite challenging), a first release was donen, I need to get back to it when the rest is stabilized <...

Dear community,
Worked the past weeks on a new device combining most of the features of the stock Utility, but with a more convenient user interface, and adding many metering information, given that Utility is often used on group channels or master bus, so here is what you get:
Controls:
- Left/Right separate Gain and Mute
- Mid/Side separate Gain and Mute
- Signal true stereo panning and Left/Right swap
- Width control from pure mono to full sid...

Dear community,
Just finished this one, a small but quite technical device for Live users, showing various information about incoming audio:
- Integrated loudness as per EBU128
- Gated loudness, using only loudest parts of the audio (added in third release of EBU128)
- Short Term loudness (moving 3s window)
- Momentary loudness (moving 400ms window)
- True peak (using 4x oversampling and filtering to measure intersample peaks)
It comes with a floating...

Hey community !
Introducing this new device I've just prepared for you all !
Initially I wanted a way to instantly select which track was active in a multi instrument racks by controlling the solo param, where each instrument was a sampler playing a different drum loop, to create a "drum grid" effect without the hassle of manually chopping each drum pattern so I designed this device which allows to have one parameter at its maximum while the three others are at their minimum (both...

Dear all,
By popular demand, here is my Multi tracks oscilloscope, updated with the new UI scheme of mine, and corrected a bug where 1/8th sync would not refresh properly.
More to come on this one, with a fully resizeable floating windows and other stuff, so keep posted !

Dear community,
Here is a (rather) small tool I did these week, it gets triggered by incoming midi notes, and will send random values to up to 4 Live parameters, with an optional Attack, and Release, and the possibility of holding the values (so Sample & Hold or Sample & Release)...
Hope you like it !
Link will be posted right after this publication for contributors...

Dear Team !
Just updated my MultiLFO device, following some suggestion from the greatly creative Laury, here are the new things:
- Allow self modulation: now any of the 3 LFOs can be mapped to any parameter of the same LFO or another one, this way frequency, amplitude, offset and any other param can be controlled by one of the LFOs
- I've improved the smooth parameter that was a bit too aggressively smoothing, and switched it from linear smoothin to logarithmic one for a mor...

Dear contributors,
Just published this update on AutoGrid MIDI, you can then grab it on your library https://gumroad.com/library if you own the device.
If not contact me for your special discount code !
Walkthrough here ;-)

Dear supporters,
I've been working quite hard these time and you have probably seen my recent releases (that you know you can get with some discount according to your sub level ofc).
But I wanted to provide you a small gift for the end of the year.
Have you ever encountered a situation where you want to assign a specific CC controller, or pitch bend or aftertouch to a given parameter of a plugin, but the only thing that plugin proposes is to "learn" it live by moving t...

Hey community,
Just did this small yet useful device for you !
It will trigger 4 (different) random values when a note is pressed, all of these between 0% and the velocity of the incoming note.
For an example, if a note is pressed with a velocity of 64 (half of max possible value, as velocity is defined between 0 and 127), the device will choose up to 4 random values between 0% and 50% and send them to the target parameters.
On top of that, you have also the...

Hey all,
Just did some rework on my 3-LFO device, huge improvement in performance, and added a specific random mode, that allows for smooth morph between a complete random (where all values can happen equally) to a gaussian random (where middle values have more chance to occur and extreme values little chance). Very useful for more natural modulation. Also a Gaussian drunk mode, that tends to do small jumps and sometimes big ones.
For my latest Patreons, contact me t...

If you haven't seen it I have recently released this m4l device that is a mix between a shimmer reverb and a blackhole one, plus a regular reverb engine for all days purpose.
Being my dear supporters you can ave it at a tremendous ;-) -50% price that will bring down only to 7.5 euros, just use the code that I'll send you in privtae message when checking out on https://altarofwisdom.gumroad.co...

Hello dear community, heading up for a (deserved) two weeks of vacation, I wanted to leave you a small gift before leaving home ;-)
Following Dadda's excellent video posted yesterday about feedback sampling for building (in)harmonical feedback ambiance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EB-n4iuP73k), I've noticed he had to use some annoying sends/returns to be able to route back the output of his track t...

Hello my dear contributors !
As announced here and there, here is my PitchEnvelope device, ready to be freely downloaded in a moment.
What is that thing ?
It takes any sound as an input like an envelope follower does (with a threshold, attack and release parameters set).
It then triggers the drawn pitch change envelope following the configured rate (in time division or ms), with a downgoing and upgoing configurable maximum pitches.
The depth parameter allow...

Just finished this nice multi track oscilloscope featuring:
- Sync from 1/8 to 8 bars
- Y zoom
- Large sticky floating window
- 2 other tracks display option on top of local one
- Freeze mode
- Display offset to resync for some plugins shifting track delay
Ideal to watch and tune your kick and bass alignment for example !

Experimented a bit on a nice and smooth pitch shifting algorithm, and came down to this device, yet to be finalized, but already featuring:
- global pitch shifter from -48 semitones to 48 semitones, quantized or not
- Shifter value controlled by a free or synced LFO, with the same shapes as my previous Multi LFO device
- 8 voices of unison per channel
- Density setting to phase shift the unison voices or have them pitch synced
- Stereo setting to globally shift b...

As suggested by Kadabra, I've taken the Boosted LFO, and to allow for more compact workflow for you, I've merged 3 full LFOs in one single device, each one with its modulations.
Added as well a better display of the LFOs, and of the instant values for each modulation ;-)

So, here is my first AoW-boosted M4L device, based on Max/MST LFO. Pretty much workoing like the original one, but with quite some more features:
- NEW : "drunk" LFO (random values but without big jumps, only small movements)
- NEW: Envelope follower to trigger the LFO based on input volume (with a configurable Attack and Release)
- NEW: LFO rate multiplier (to achieve higher rates than the original 40 Hz. Alas, on parameter control we still are limited as the controls don't...

That's one of the main purposes of ths Patreon, as I'm not planning on selling modified M4L devices based on the ones provided with Ableton Live, I'll be providing them (for free) only to my Patreons. This first one, is based on M4L LFO, very intensely used by all of you. However I have felt that some features are lacking, and I have added them:

- Envelope follower to trigger the LFO based on input volume (w...
