Midi-2-the-Max has introduced M2TM Commands, a MIDI editing plugin for Ableton Live 12 Suite Edition or Standard with Max-for-Live support.
M2TM Commands provides nearly 30 advanced commands for MIDI edit
Here’s what they the developer has to say about it:
“M2TM Commands equips producers with an arsenal of tools to streamline their workflow.
Merge adjacent notes, strip out rests, or enforce monophonic lines — all with just a click. For those looking to push the creative envelope, commands for reversing, shuffling, randomizing, and rotating note properties like pitch and velocity unlock new possibilities for unique MIDI patterns.
Beyond individual notes, M2TM Commands delivers unmatched flexibility for shaping entire Live sets. Whether you’re harmonizing melodies, generating complex chords with auto-inversions, or applying consistent transformations across multiple clips, this plugin makes it effortless. Features like semitone transposition, automatic clip renaming, and advanced harmonization options ensure that every detail of your composition is handled with ease.
Compatible with Ableton Live 12 Suite Edition or Standard with Max-for-Live, M2TM Commands fills the gaps in Live’s native editing features, saving time and unlocking creativity for music producers of all genres.”
Earlier released in Public Beta, Ableton Live 12.1 is now available.
Live 12.1 introduces the new pitch correction and harmonization feature Auto Shift, compact sample player Drum Sampler, sound auto-tagging and more.
It is a free update for all editions of Live, including Live Lite, plus Push.
Live 12.1 introduces auto-tagging, making it easier to find the right sound in your user library. New tags are automatically assigned to all samples in the library less than a minute long, as well as to VST3 and AU plugins.
Auto Shift, Live’s new pitch correction and harmonization device, lets you manipulate and extract harmonies from vocals in real time. Choose a scale for Auto Shift to follow, and play and make harmonies from any monophonic signal with the dedicated sidechain.
Drum Sampler, Live’s new compact sample player, lets you tweak and enhance drum sounds on the fly. Limiter and Saturator have been redesigned, and the MIDI Editor now allows you to filter and select notes by time, pitch, or a number of other criteria. Two new MPE-specific MIDI Transformations – Glissando and LFO – let you create curves for the MPE parameters of selected notes.
Auto-tagging for all your samples. You can now search your entire user library faster with filters – and there’s no need to tag the samples yourself. Live 12.1 automatically assigns new tags to any sample in your library less than a minute long. VST3 plugins will also be assigned tags based on metadata.
Improved Limiter and Saturator. Limiter gets a complete overhaul – with a smoother release curve making for less distortion, better metering with the improved UI, and the addition of Mid/Side routing, True Peak, Soft Clip, and Maximize modes.
Along with a more focused front panel, Saturator sees the addition of a Bass Shaper curve ideal for low end processing. Drive 808 kicks and sub basses as hard as you like and let Saturator keep the frequencies in check.
MIDI improvements. You can now filter and select MIDI notes by time, pitch, velocity, chance, duration or by a number of other dimensions using a new toolbar in the MIDI Editor. 12.1 also introduces two new MPE-specific MIDI Transformations – Glissando and LFO – allowing you to create curves for the MPE parameters of selected notes.
Ableton Live 12.1 and Push. Live 12.1 comes with a host of updates to Push. With Push 2 and 3 you can now design sounds with more detail and control by mapping Macros, and experiment with a range of different sounds using Macro Variations. Push 3 now also lets you add groove instantly to all the MIDI clips in your Set with a single twist of an encoder.
The new update also brings Live 12’s filtering system to the browser on Push 2 and 3, as well as auto-tagging for samples on Push 3 standalone. Plus, you can now save Default Sets and Template Sets on Push 2 and 3, and organize your Sets by moving tracks and scenes.
Ableton Live 12.1 is available now as a free update for all owners of a Live 12 license.
