This one is easily up there are one of the most sampled breaks out there, and thats most likely because it has a lot going for it like funky 16th note kick drum ghost notes and lots of snare articulation. See you tomorrow. Download link below.
Hello everyone. Here is the Live set I used for the MKTF Brighton show. I took out the instances of Turnado and Artillery as I figured some people don't own those VSTs so whats the point, but the osciloscope Max device is in there which I'll develop further. Sadly I didn't get to show it off as m...

Hello everyone and welcome to this album commentary with myself and Alex from Human Synthetics as we sit down and listen to Go Plastic by Squarepusher and have a chat about it. I'm hoping this will be the first of many commentaries on albums that made an impression. Hope you enjoy.

Today I’ve been practicing my live set for Brighton on Saturday. It’s a fairly basic but flexible setup with some old tricks and a couple of new ones that have opened up doors for me. I was thinking of recording a video explaining the setup and posting it only here on Patreon, so like this po...

Today's classic break is by The Soul Finders. Can you squeeze some time in to watch the video and download this tasty gem? I hope so. Download link below.
It's the letter B today. One classic drum break upcycled every day in alphabetical order. I'll be uploading an updated project file as I go to make it easier for me to keep on top off because this is going to get messy. Download link below. See you tomorrow.
You can of course use any synth you want, provided it has at least 2 saw tooth waves. I had to take my synth to the dentist cause it had a saw tooth. They called me a weirdo and sent me home. Download attached. See you again soon.

Hello everyone. I'm pleased to announce my new daily project for March. Everyday I will upcycle a classic break and I'm going to do it in alphabetical order, starting with A for Amen. In the end there will be a nice collection of classic breaks and sound neat and tidy and ready to use, and you ca...
2024-03-01 20:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone. Today is the last Max For Live download a day for February (well, half of it anyway). It's a terribly yucky gaze into the void I've called Spew.
Creating and posting daily for January and Feb has been really good for me. It's given me some purpose each day during a tricky ti...

Hey! It's another wildly experimental and yet gently delivered video (cause it was first thing in the morning!). This is about texture feedback processing using hacky custom shaders to create nice glitchy datamosh pixel shift stuff (I think?). I borrowed a bit from a Hearing Glass video and made ...
2024-02-29 12:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone. Today's Max For Live download is this thing I've called Smear Delay. It's not really a delay as much as it is a simple one shot sample and playback of incoming audio, but using MC~ each channel of audio can be playback at different speeds to create strange pitchy smears, and there...
2024-02-28 20:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone. Today's Max For Live download is this visualiser called Light Box which I think looks rather nice. Some controls in there to move it around and play with the bloom and lighting. Hope you enjoy. Download attached. See you soon.
2024-02-27 20:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone. Today's Max For Live download is this thing I've called the Pong LFO. Taking the default LFO concept in Live I've applied wave shaping/folding/wrapping/clipping using the pong~ object in Max. The result is contorted sine waves that flip and flop and create interesting shapes. Down...
2024-02-26 20:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone. Today's Max For Live download is this Step Sequencer for gating/transient shaping/triggered adsr on in coming audio. Great for choppy sounds and transients set by the sequencer using the new(ish) live.adsr~ object. Hope you enjoy. Download attached. See you soon.
2024-02-25 20:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone. Today's Max For Live download is this geometry synthesiser that uses pixels generate by the Basis Function Graph to create the wavetable for the synth. As the basis is offset, it changes the wavetable for the synth whilst also changing the geometry of the 3D object. Download attac...
