IRCAMAX: Cutting Edge Sound Transformation in Live

Since its late-’70s foundation, Paris’ IRCAM has been a center for forward-thinking electronic music research - it was with IRCAM, in fact, that Miller Puckette first developed Max. Building on this legacy, IRCAM presents IRCAMAX 1, a Pack of seven advanced Max for Live devices for transforming sounds in real-time.

You don’t need to understand the finer points of phase vocoding to appreciate the quality of IRCAM’s proprietary SuperVP technology - just listen to how the included Transp and SimpleTransp devices naturally shift pitches while avoiding the squirrel-voice effects typically associated with pitch-shifting. Or, use the powerful SuperVPSynth instrument to manipulate and mangle your samples in futuristic ways. Preview the sounds of IRCAMAX 1 below:
