Make Generative Music with Live's MIDI Effects - Tutorial and Live Set from MacProVideo
Despite what you hear coming from this Live Set, there's only one note, repeated at a regular interval, in one MIDI clip, which triggers everything. How does this happen? That's the focus of a new tutorial from MacProVideo's Gary Hiebner, which looks at using Ableton Live's MIDI Effects to create generative music. Using the Scale, Random, Pitch, and Velocity MIDI Effects, Gary creates a "loop" that plays a new a unique sequence every time, with endless variations.Â
