Well this is outstanding! Careful with your levels when you first load it up - there's no volume attn engaged by default so when you load it, you get full volume (without pressing a key). Just like how it would work in the real world! This thing is stellar. I feel like it should be an instrument included with Live - thanks so much for sharing it with us! Off to play some more! |

just a thought: smth like this with Braids would be cool aswell...:) |
FM via the patchbay seems to be restricted to a pretty shallow depth. Otherwise, pretty nice take! |

This seems to be one of the best Plaits emulations on MaxForLive or even the best. |
