The live trigger pads all have independant volume control (rotary sliders) and level meters – they can be routed through delay and reverb too. The buffers are all synced to the sequencer, so recording and playback is all in time. It also provides 4 timesynced buffers to record your loops to, and keep layering up. Output from the sequencer has a master volume slider and level meter. They can all also be routed through a delay (with variable delay time, quantized or by millisecond, and variable feedback), and/or a reverb, both controlled using the rotary knobs. The five rows of clip launch buttons allow for 5 samples to be sequenced at a time, each with it’s own dedicated filter (filter type, cutoff, gain and ‘q’ value all controlled with rotary knobs), volume slider and level meter. It makes use of the controllers matrix of clip launch buttons as the step sequencer with BPM control, and the clip stop buttons as trigger pads, for live input.
Through Max/Msp this controller has now been adapted to act as an 8 step sequencer, primarily designed as a drum machine, but any sample can be used. I saw the potential in the APC40 and couldn’t resist. As much fun as this was my previous task was an FM synth controlled by a midi keyboard, so i decided to do something different this time.
Apc 40 step sequencer ableton 10 Patch#
For my final ICMP project i originally wrote a patch for Max/Msp that was an FM Synth with several buffers to record to allow layering of sounds, all controlled by an XBOX gamepad. As an Ableton controller it is fantastic, but i have felt the need to use it in other ways. I have recently bought an Akai APC40 Ableton controller, which I love to bits. All my time recently has been devoted to university work, specifically a project for ‘Introduction to Creative Music Programming’.

Having not written a post for so long i felt an update was needed. I am leaving this post up but will not be sending any copies out and will be amending any other posts I have made on other sites to mention this. Once again I apologise if my actions have caused any confusion, problems or had any negative impact on either users of, or anyone involved in the development or distribution of any such software.

There are many more out there, google will know where.Īlso have a series of plugins named ‘Toxic’ most recently I believe is the ‘ Toxic Biohazard‘, which although I haven’t tried it out, does look pretty impressive. Other APC40 templates and Ableton resources: The Sickness + other instruments from (Unless i’m mistaken it was previously called ‘Toxic Sickness’, but I am quite frequently wrong!) If you are interested in using the APC40 as a step sequencer you’d be better off checking out the following apps/scripts/patches –

I want to apologise for any confusion caused in my naming of this app, like I said, I never intended to distribute it and hope that I have not caused any offence or problems for the creator/publishers/distributers of these pieces of software and am sorry for any confusion resulting from this app.
Secondly, after being featured on the I started looking into up-dating the sequencer and have recently found that several other apps that do the same thing or similar (albeit much better and with much better support) are available, some with ‘Toxic’ in the name. Edit (16/11/13) – I’m afraid that I am no longer making this patch available for a couple of reasons, I apologise and will still offer any help I can to those people who previously received it via email if they have any problems.įirstly this wasn’t developed with the intention of distributing it on any level, it was simply an exercise in using external controllers with Max/Msp and on reflection the patch itself is very primitive and is poorly constructed with a whole host of things which would need serious reworking before it would be suitable for proper distribution (which will not be happening).
