The French company K-Devices, which is well-known for its very special and unique Max For Live devices and the great Shaper app for iOS, introduced today some exciting new sequencers. MOOR and Twistor are two new sequencing tools for Ableton Live Max For Live that allows you to work differently.
MOOR is unique mono sequencer that can generate MIDI note sequences with variable step and bar length. This allows you to create virtually any time signature. Super handy for creating super complex sequences. Also a cool step-length randomization with bar-length locking is per example included and many other creative features.
Compared to MOOR, is Twistor not a step sequencer for notes but a phase-driven step-sequencer for modulating any parameter in any device or plug-in with Ableton Live. Same as MOOR, it allows you to create a bar length of any number of steps and to set different durations for each step. Also randomizing features are included here as well as many other creative features.
The developers of K-Devices also thought of Ableton Push users and added support for this controller. Musicians can trigger four individual sequences using software automation or an external controller such as Ableton’s Push Controller.
In my opinion, two amazing new sequencers which can deliver a lot of creative input for the music production with Ableton Live.
K-Devices, an innovative developer of music software tools, has released MOOR and Twistor, two new Max for Live devices — the first in their Out Of Grid (OOG) series. Each provides an inventive, non-traditional approach to sequencing and controlling instruments and effects within Ableton Live music software environment.
MOOR is a unique mono sequencer that can generate MIDI note sequences with variable step and bar length, allowing the creation of virtually any time signature. It features step-length randomization with bar-length locking, variable step-value scrambling, and the ability to “bend” a sequence from linear to logarithmic to exponential playback. In addition MOOR allows for more advanced features such as clip export, advanced pitch randomize and step note triggering.
Describing MOOR, K-Devices founder Alessio Santini said, “We created MOOR for musicians looking to create sequences that don’t have to be locked to the classic grid of 4, 8, or 16 steps per bar. Because you can create a bar length of any number of steps and set a different duration for each step, the rhythmic possibilities are vast and complex.“
Twistor is a phase-driven step-sequencer for modulating any parameter in any device or plug-in within Ableton Live. Like MOOR, it can create a bar length of any number of steps and set different durations for each step. Similarly, it can randomize the length of each step while maintaining the overall length of a sequence and “bend” playback from linear to logarithmic to exponential format.
Both MOOR and TWISTOR store up to four individual sequences that can be triggered using software automation or an external controller such as Ableton’s Push controller.
“Together or individually, MOOR and Twistor will be mind-opening creative tools for musicians that are accustomed to traditional sequencers,” said Alessio Santini. “We believe that thinking out of the box and outside the grid is always a good thing as far as making music goes.”
K-Devices MOOR is now available for 29€ ($34 USD), Twistor for 19€ ($22 USD) or in special MOOR + Twistor bundle for 39€ ($45 USD).
