| Description: | A collection of unique creative devices, our Sonification Tools were designed by Ableton Certified Trainer Noah Pred to allow access to new musical ideas via real-world data sources. A finalist for the 2024 MIDI Innovation Awards, our Sonification Bundle is your total creative toolkit for sonification: combining enhanced new versions of Data MIDI, Data Mod, Data FX, Data Synth, and MIDI Tool Generators Dataforge and Typewriter, this bundle provides everything you need to translate raw data, text, images, videos, and more into compelling musical ideas. Our Sonification Tools allow you to access new musical ideas via numeric data, text, images, video, and even real-time OSC feeds. Just manually type or simply copy and paste any string of numbers in Data mode, use natural language in Text mode, or drag and drop JPG, PNG, or TIFF images in Image mode on all four devices. Harness your selected data source to generate corresponding MIDI patterns with Data MIDI, modulation sequences with Data Mod, spectral filtration, wavefolding distortion, impulse convolution or even exported audio waveforms with Data FX — or unique synthesis oscillators (and LFOs) with Data Synth. With Data MIDI or Data Mod, you can select and loop your input data, with the lowest data value automatically corresponding to your lowest allowed output, and the highest data automatically corresponding to your specified upper output limit. Data MIDI and Data Mod also allow you to trigger data at any multiplied metrical base rate, with optional cycle reset as well as Euclidean sequencing for a wide variety of rhythmic patterns, with offset delay and swing further enhancing note timing. You can also trigger data at a millisecond rate — or via arbitrary MIDI pattern input. Data MIDI and Data Mod can also harness MP4 or MOV video files, real-time camera input, or raw OSC data. A variety of trigger modes allow you to engage with Data MIDI’s output in a variety of ways, all of which can be constrained via 69 scales in any key, set locally, via Live 12, or via the included Global Hub utility. Better yet, you can expand or contract the range of note pitch, velocity, or length output in real time to dynamically express your selected data source in highly musical ways. Adding another twist, data can also be randomized to easily generate a wide variety of patterns and tone from scratch. Data MIDI and Data Mod can also be Gated to only produce MIDI above or below a certain threshold for more rhythmically complex output. And with Live 12, you can use our MIDI Tool Generators Dataforge to sonify data or Typewriter to sonify text directly in your MIDI clips, with the bulk of Data MIDI’s settings on offer. Whether you type or copy personally meaningful data or images, or research and source data sets available online or elsewhere, Sonification Tools allow you to embed real-world phenomena in your creative process — and express those phenomena as uniquely as you wish, giving them a voice through your music and inspiring new approaches along the way. NEW IN SONIFICATION TOOLS v2: · Text and Image sonification modes in all devices · Video file, Camera, and OSC sonification modes in Data MIDI & Data Mod · Euclidean sequencing options in Data MIDI & Data Mod · Data FX can now Invert, Reverse, Scramble, and Bias a data set - with improved Spectral Filtration · Generate data with or without decimals · Apply exponential data skewing · Comes with Dataforge and Typewriter MIDI Tool Generators · And of course, the all new Data Synth: transform Data, Text, or Image into the core oscillator of an advanced 8-voice polysynth All devices are theme adaptive, Info View annotated, Push 3 compatible, and, where MIDI is concerned, scale aware. Requires: Ableton Live 12.1.5 running Max for Live 8.6.5 on Mac or PC; Windows machines may require the free VIDDLL Max package for image and video modes. Includes: Data FX, Data MIDI, Data Mod, and Data Synth Max for Live devices, Dataforge and Typewriter Max for Live MIDI Tool Generators, Utility Boost, manual. Supported image formats: JPG, PNG, TIFF Supported video formats: MP4, MOV |
