M4L SABOTAGE

SABOTAGE is a unique Max For Live device that redefines the role of master tempo in music production.

While traditional sequencers are typically governed by a fixed master tempo, SABOTAGE is engineered to disrupt and transform that tempo, encouraging the exploration of less conventional methods and creative techniques.

However, it's important to use SABOTAGE carefully, as improper application could potentially destabilize (or "sabotage") your project.

While automating master tempo in Ableton has been possible before, SABOTAGE expands this concept by providing more flexibility. It includes adjustable tempo ranges that allow for precise control over tempo shifts. Users can choose from two sequencing modes: AUTO, which syncs with Ableton's transport, and MIDI, which triggers tempo changes through incoming MIDI notes. Additionally, you can adjust the probability of tempo shifts and use features like deviation and interpolation for more refined and nuanced tempo changes.

One of the device's unique features is its quantization mode. When enabled, this mode snaps tempo values to the closest musical division of the initial BPM. This ensures that tempo variations remain rhythmically coherent.

In essence, SABOTAGE transforms the BPM from a fixed parameter into a flexible, evolving element.

It’s like producing on the grid - but with a grid that’s constantly morphing.

Hope you enjoy it x
