Let's put to use what we just learned. We won't talk about the devices that you will probably build most often, such as simple synths, samplers, FX, MIDI FX, and so on. Why? Because it's just Max/MSP with the addition of using [plugphasor~]
, [plugin~]
, and [plugout~]
.
Here, in order to get accustomed to using the Live API, we will take a look at a device that really interacts with Live instead. We are going to make a simple LFO, which is able to modulate parameters of Live. This way, we can add noise to a selected effect parameter, or if you expand the effect, start using arbitrarily complex sequencers to start expanding Live's capabilities of non-linear composing.
Our device should be simple to use; when we want to click on a parameter, click on a button in our device, and it should memorize that parameter. After this, it should start modulating right away. Our modulation...
