NOTE & PULSES
Build an eight-step percussion phrase with a note and pulse count for every step. Shape the pattern’s length, swing and playback direction without losing sight of the groove.

A percussion-focused Max for Live MIDI sequencer by Max Tebbert. Built for evolving grooves, organic rhythm and the moments when a pattern becomes something unexpected.

Purchase and digital delivery via Payhip. Includes the AMXD device and PDF documentation. Optimised for Ableton Live 12; Max for Live is required.

Build an eight-step percussion phrase with a note and pulse count for every step. Shape the pattern’s length, swing and playback direction without losing sight of the groove.

Introduce repeated hits within a step, then shape their articulation with gate controls. Combine these layers with delay to explore more intricate rhythmic relationships.

Add repeatable variation to timing and velocity. Use mutation amount and density to develop the pattern; at zero organic variation, playback stays exact.

Bounce one, two, four, eight or sixteen cycles into editable MIDI. Capture the phrase, then rearrange, layer and develop it within your Ableton Live session.

Randomize a selected layer, mutate the pattern and undo a change. Lock the steps you want to preserve as you explore new directions.

Choose from five colour themes in dark or light mode. Switch between numeric, dial and analogue-style note displays, with independent layout and glow preferences.
