K-Devices Release Introduce two lunatic OOG MFL devices for Ableton Live

Late Last Year K-Devices announced a new series of Max For Live devices, the OOG tools. “OOG” standing for Out Of Grid, this series includes incredibles Max For Live devices designed to write music and control instruments and effects in a brand new way.

First of this series, MOOR and Twistor, are step sequencers with unique features. Today K-Devices launch two new OOG tools, with same purposes and a different approach: no more sequences, but triggers! These tools are awesome for complex percussive patterns and melodic ideas. No steps here, but a (massively editable) time resolution section and note processing parameters. As other OOG tools, these two also are based on the same design: they are simply the best thing you can use for complex out of grid stuff, but they do great job also for linear/in-the-grid needs. We experimented with them getting great results in a wide range of genres: from techno music to micro-sound domain.

K-devices Release Moor and Twistor for Ableton Live and Max for Live

Moor is a Max For Live MIDI effect designed to generate and manipulate mono MIDI sequences with innovative features

A MONO ORACLE

MOOR is a unique monophonic step sequencer that will let you create sequences that you could never get with other tools of its kind.  It creates, then twist and manipulates your sequences and synth lines giving results that go beyond your imagination.

UNIQUE FEATURES, FOR REAL! Any Time Resolution

Set the exact time resolution you need for your steps: 1/8, 3/4, 7/8, 3/16T, 15/1D, 13/32 and so on.

Exclusive Step Duration

Set exclusive duration for each step: 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 400% of the global time resolution. This opens to crazy new possibilities!

Global Main Rate

Shrink or expand your sequence according to your needs. Good sequence, but you want it longer? Just set 2 to get double length, or why not, 1.5, 0.5, 1.3, etc! Try automation on this for granted incredible results.

Bend

Change the movement of the playhead from linear to exponential or logarithmic.

Advanced Chance Functions

Set chance to get triggered for each step, get immediate visual feedback thanks to the opacity factor. Enable hold function to keep on last triggered note in case of silent notes.

Advanced Pitch Random

Set chance for each interval to be part of a randomly generated pitch sequence. You choose the flavour, MOOR creates lines for you!

Lock Duration Mode

The lock switch lets you randomize steps duration, all preserving the current total length.

Clip Export

Once you created killer lines, you can export them as Live clips with one click: quick and easy!

HOW IT WORKS “MOOR” is an arbitrary contraction of words “Mono Oracle”, that was the codename during the development. This is still useful to explain the nature of this device: – Mono: it’s a monophonic step sequencer – Oracle: it lets user ask for something, then it elaborates an answer MOOR starts as a standard mono step sequencer: you set a time resolution, and pitch and velocity values for each step. Around these core features, several functions make it special. Two new parameters are added to each step: chance and exclusive duration.  Chance works similarly as in AutoBeat device, but it offers here an improvement specially designed for a melodies sequencer as MOOR is: the hold mode. You can set a different chance factors for each step, globally, via the random and scramble functions, or exclusively, editing step by step with mouse or Push2. The result is that, depending on its chance factor, some steps, sometimes, do not trigger the note, letting silence fill the sequence in a controlled-random way. Enabling hold mode, a note off message is sent just when a new note on message comes, that means that for each silent note, the previous one is kept active: this mode creates still continuously changing sequences, but with, instead of silence, notes of different length. Exclusive Duration is another great feature of MOOR: considering the time resolution you set, it’s possible to refine the duration of each step. Each step can be set to 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, or 400% of the time resolution: this introduces the chance to create complex sequences with a step sequencer! You can set this parameters manually, or globally, and this introduces an important feature, the duration lock mode: when you have a sequence with a duration, let’s say 1 bar, if you randomize durations, the global length of the sequence will change. This opens to new, exciting, let’say wild perspectives, and is cool, but, if you want to experiment with step durations, all keeping the original length of the sequence, you can do it: enabling the duration lock mode! Then MOOR will find for you randomized durations, but their sum will always gives the original length of the sequence, isn’t amazing? A given number of steps, at a given time resolution, steps with pitch, velocity, chance, duration values. All of this gives us a sequence, and MOOR offers several parameters to manipulate it. Processing the sequence as cyclic signal, MOOR can twist it thanks to scale and phase distortion operations! MOOR can also make your life easy when you go on stage: you can store, and recall, up to 4 snapshots in a preset or, even quicker, you can export your sequences to Live clips! As often happens with K-Devices, you can accurately control and define each aspects of the multiple features manually, or wisely exploit the advanced random functions included. In both ways, MOOR will bring you really far! The user interface of MOOR is just beautiful, made to be self explanatory: when you edit a parameter, animations on interface will let you easily understand what the parameter does. Of course you also get an accurate description of parameters in the Live Info View.

  Push2 and MOOR

If you have a Push2, you’ll love the template MOOR brings under your hands! In addiction to the standard parameters mapping, you can enable the custom grid for improved control options. Just tap on a pad, that represents a step, and you’ll be able to quickly edit all parameters for it, getting a smart visual feedback from pads color. You’ll also get an exclusive copy/paste function to easily transfer parameters value from a step to another!

MOOR + Twistor bundle

Twistor is a Max For Live audio effect designed to modulate anything you want in Ableton Live

PURE MODULATION MAGIC

Thanks to powerful pattern creation and twisting features, Twistor creates modulations that are not possible to obtain with other modulators!

MAIN FEATURES Any Time Resolution

Set the exact time resolution you need for your steps: 1/8, 3/4, 7/8, 3/16T, 15/1D, 13/32 and so on.

Exclusive Step Duration

Set exclusive duration for each step: 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 400% of the global time resolution. This opens to crazy new possibilities!

Smooth

From steps to ramps: smooth your modulation signal with an interpolation time going form 0 to 100% of time resolution.

Bend

Change the movement of the playhead from linear to exponential or logarithmic and enjoy a new kind of groove.

Lock Duration Mode

The lock switch lets you randomize steps duration, all preserving the current length.

Snapshots!

Store up to four sequences, then recall them by automation, external controller, or thanks to the exclusive Push2 integration. This injects even more life in your modulation!

HOW IT WORKS Twistor is easy to master.

You can start considering a classic step sequencer modulator: steps of a given duration sending values to a controlled parameter, according to a time resolution. The main difference with a classic step sequencer is that in Twistor each step can have different duration: by modifying the single step duration, and by manipulating the entire pattern.

The modulator signal is scaled by minimal and maximal values, to perfectly fit your target’s range and purposes. You can change the duration of the pattern, changing time resolution, or using the Rate parameter to let a given length of 1 bar become one half, the double of it, one time and a half, etc, always keeping the same number of steps, and, very important, the sync with Live’s transport! You can modify the sync position of your pattern with Shift: if you have time resolution equal to 8n, and you set Shift at 50% (the range is 0-100% of the time resolution), then all your sequence will be delayed by 16n. You can use Bend to let the playhead make movements from linear, to exponential, or logarithmic, dynamically changing the duration of each step, always keeping the given length for the whole sequence! Isn’t amazing?!

Let’s talk about the duration of each step. You can modify the duration of each step manually, listening to the results, and keeping an eye on the Resulted Length. This will bring you far from the grid concept, opening to new possibilities: your ears only can evaluate the results. Or, you can choose to gone wild, but all staying in the safe sanctuary of the grid, setting a Main Length, locking it with the toggle on bottom right corner of the device, and hitting the random button; Twistor will generate again different durations, but now their sum will always give the original length of the pattern. This features gives, it’s guaranteed, amazing results!

If needed you can smooth the modulation signal, going from steps to a series of consequent ramps; range is equal to 0-100% of the time resolution.

Twistor also makes your life easy when you go on stage: you can store, and recall, up to 4 snapshots in a preset!

As often happens with K-Devices, you can accurately control and define each aspect of the multiple features manually, or get inspired by the device, thanks to the advanced random functions included.

The beautiful user interface of Twistor is designed to be self explanatory: when you edit some parameters, animations on interface will let you easily understand what the parameter does. Of course all parameters are also accurately described in the Live Info View.
