Requirements

Ableton Live
Max for Live
some apps require either a 128 or 64 grid from monome

hopefully some non-ableton or grid requirin’ things coming in the future.

@Andrew

Do I understand correctly that if I download Prosody, I do not need to download the individual M4L devices you have on your GitHub?

Wonderful stuff, by the way! Many thanks.

@eblomquist yup that was mostly how it worked for me!

prosody is so incredible for processing @andrew!
making subtle adjustments to aural perspective (w/ timbral + spatial tweaks) is a key part of my workflow

have to share what your apps are capable of…

dirge / assonance / ekphras (x2) really elevated this session

ha!

there was a time when my friend and i tried to convince the folks at dia:beacon to let us play an extended drone installation in the museum basement

i’d be happy playing anywhere there is natural reverb (or access to aaltoverb/moisturizer etc)

These are just great. Here’s some rings into clouds into colloquial / alliterate / assonance chain. Love these sounds, thanks @andrew!

Still enjoying these tools immensely here as well… thank you so much for your efforts on them @andrew

Here is some LABS soft piano, guitar loops and a field recording through a couple of prosody-based effects chains… https://clyp.it/gvd0nj3z
(doesn’t seem possible to embed clyp soundfiles…)

I’ve been having a lot of fun with these devices. Thanks a lot for your work :blue_heart:

Here’s a little sketch I did on the op-1 that was later edited in ableton with various prosody devices (modulated by hospital food)

Yeah another prosody fan over here, used it on most of my last work. and this excerpt is incredible @DuellingAnts thanks for sharing. I feel you can really have an idea of how wonderful these M4L devices are from the music shared on this topic. Thank you so much @andrew I really mean that.

i find a new use for prosody

just discovering that alliterate was exactly what a project i’m working on needed and i’m in awe all over again

forever in your debt
these interfaces make me want to use them on everything…they are so simple, fun, and responsive

cannot recommend em enough

That reverb is astounding! I’m gonna try and sneak my way in there to record something since it’s not super far from me.
