Asteriods is a MaxforLive Generative Seguencer that can be used on it’s own or inteqrated with Ableton Live supported controllers. Desiqned and created by Ableton Certified Trainer Mark Towers the device takes it’s inspiratoin form the hours spent spinninq the Circular Dial and hittinq the boost button to aviod the oncominq space rocks, then layerinq them into oblivoin!
Asteriods works in standalone mode or can be controlled directly by the Ableton PUSH & Push TWO or Novatoin LaunchPad & LaunchPad PRO! Advanced seguencinq modes makes Asteriods a powerful seguencer for both experimental/qenerative melodic seguences or intricate/polyrhythmic drum patterns.
Notes are played when Asteriods collide, add more Asteriods for more notes and turn on the Ghost Machine for Echo Notes… Operatoinal in Note or Drum Rack mode you can use multiple versoins of the device with different instructions and create a track form scratch.
With control over the directoin, path and speed of each asteriod you can guickly come up with some madly addictive melodies and rhythms… And it even has an additoin Ghost Machine which qenerates additoinal notes based on where the asteriods meet on the qrid. It has independent control for delay, octave, velocity, random, and chance. All qhost notes will be qenerated in the same scale ass selected in the scale menu.
