Device Overview

Name/Version: PMixPro 1.0
Author: DarlingLee  
Description: This is a device for multiple chain free processing made with Max for Live. It is similar to the Blue Cat's PatchWork plugin, but with some differences. The device provides four sections, 15 plugin slots (which can use VST, VST3, and AU (only on macOS)), 15 sidechain compression or mixing inputs, 15 separate control knobs for gain on each slot, and 15 on/off switches for bypassing each slot:

1.Pre-processing section: This is a series processing section that provides three plugin slots. You can chain up to three plugin effects to process the incoming signal, which is then sent to the parallel processing section.

2.Parallel processing section: This is a three-way parallel processing section, with each branch providing three plugin slots. The purpose of this section is to copy the signal received from the pre-processing section into three paths, each of which can have up to three plugin effects applied, and then the three signals are mixed and output to the post-processing section.

3.Post-processing section: This is a series processing section that provides three plugin slots. You can chain up to three plugin effects to process the incoming signal, which is then sent to the master output control section.

4.Master output control section: Here you can control the bypass, wet/dry mix ratio of the entire device, and the overall output gain of the device.



Each plugin slot provides independent functions such as bypass control (switch on the left side of the slot), sidechain compression or mixing inputs (located on the upper or lower left side of the slot), plugin UI open/close button, and slot signal gain control knob:

Bypass control: When activated, it means the signal is passing through the plugin. When deactivated, the signal bypasses the plugin and flows to the next slot.

Sidechain compression or mixing inputs: There are a total of nine pre-effect inputs and six post-effect inputs (the button on the upper left side of the slot is the pre-effect input, and the button on the lower left side of the slot is the post-effect input). It can obtain sidechain signals from any track in the Ableton Live project (the 15 inputs can each obtain different sidechain signals). The obtained signal can be used for sidechain compression of the current signal or for mixing with a certain blending ratio and then output to the next slot.

Plugin UI open/close button: When a plugin is inserted into the slot, activate this button to display the plugin UI, and click it again to close the plugin UI.

Slot signal gain control knob: You can independently adjust the gain of the signal output from each slot from 0% to 100%. By default, the gain knob in the pre-processing and post-processing sections is set to 100%, while the gain knob in the parallel processing section is set to 96%."



You can use this device as a channel strip plugin and insert appropriate effect plugins at different positions to freely process audio and achieve the desired sound.

You can also use it to control the dry/wet mix ratio of plugins that do not support it with a knob control.

Furthermore, you can freely combine various sounds in the Ableton Live project, mix them in different ratios, and process them to achieve a new, creative sound.

In short, it can do many things. It requires you to explore each of its functions.



这是一个用Max for Live制作的多链路自由处理的装置。它类似于蓝猫的PatchWork插件,但又与之不同。此装置提供4个板块,15个插件插槽(可使用vst,vst3和au(仅在macOS)),15个侧链压缩或混合处理入口,15个插槽信号增益单独控制旋钮,15个插槽直通/旁通控制开关:

1. 前期处理板块:这是一个串联处理的板块,提供3个插件插槽。您可以对进入此设备的信号进行最多3个插件效果器的串联处理,处理出来的声音传送到平行处理板块。

2. 平行处理板块:这是一个3路并联的处理板块,每一路各提供3个插件插槽。此版块的作用是将接收自前期处理板块的信号复制成3路,每一路做单独的最多3个插件效果器的处理,再把3路信号混合,输出给后期处理板块。

3. 后期处理板块:这是一个串联处理的板块,提供3个插件插槽。您可以对进入此设备的信号进行最多3个插件效果器的串联处理,处理出来的声音传送到总输出控制板块。

4. 总输出控制板块:您可以在这里对设备进行旁通控制,整个设备的干湿信号混合比例控制,总输出增益控制。



每一个插件插槽都提供了各自的独立功能,例如:直通/旁通控制(插槽左侧开关),侧链压缩或混合处理入口(插槽左上方或左下方),插件UI打开/关闭按钮,插槽信号增益控制旋钮:

1. 直通/旁通控制:激活时表示直通,信号会经过插件。非激活状态即旁通,信号会绕过插件并流到下一插槽;

2. 侧链压缩或混合处理入口:总共提供了9个效果前处理入口和6个效果后处理入口(按钮在插槽左上方为效果前入口,按钮在插槽左下方为效果后入口),他可以从Ableton live工程中任意轨道获取侧链信号(15个入口可以各自获取不同的侧链信号),获取到的信号可以用于对当前信号进行侧链压缩或者进行一定混合比例的混合候输出到下一个插槽。

3. 插件UI打开/关闭按钮:当插槽插入了插件之后,激活此按钮以显示插件UI,再次点击即关闭插件UI。

4. 插槽信号增益控制旋钮:可以单独对插槽出来的信号进行0%~100%的增益调整。默认情况下,前期处理板块和后期处理板块中的增益旋钮为100%,平行处理板块中的增益旋钮为96%。



您可以使用这个装置作为一个通道条插件使用,在不同的位置插入合理的效果器插件对音频进行自由的处理,获得你想要的声音;

您也可以使用它对一些不支持调整干湿比的插件获得一个干湿混合比例的旋钮控制;

您更甚者可以自由组合Ableton Live工程中各种声音,按照不同的比例混合并加以处理,以获得一个新的富有创意的声音。

总而言之,它能做的事情非常多。这需要您一一发掘。
