Max for Live - Step Sequencer - JoMoX AirBase99 Control

A quick demo of a couple M4L patches I'm working on. On the left is a bare bones step sequencer, on the right is a custom control panel for the JoMoX AirBase99 drum machine.

The step sequencer is my first dive into M4L (and Max in general for that matter). It's pretty generic as far as step sequencers go. It has beat sliders and randomizers; it can also record live playing. By default, the MIDI notes sent are designed to work with Impulse, but they can easily be changed. The pattern length is configurable from 2 to 64 beats, and the duration of each step can range from a 1/2 note to a 1/32nd note.

The JoMoX AirBase99 control uses CC messages to control the drum synth parameters in real time. This drum machine sounds amazing, and having 'knob' control really takes it to the next level. Plus, since the knobs are Live objects, you get all the automation and storing features for free! Also included are Bank / Kit selection menus and a sync button. The sync button re-sends all knob data to the JoMoX, which is handy if you just loaded a new kit and want to get back to the settings you had before.

Oh my god!

what is this man?i haev bought an airbase and did not know that there is a software for it.

Does it controlls the hardwares parameters via midi?

Where can i find it man?

Hope to respond to myu comment

[delaneyparker]

@acidtech0 - You can control most of the AirBase drum parameters using MIDI CC messages (the mappings can be found in the manual). What's in this vid is a front-end for those parameters written in Max4Live, which allows for all sorts of live-automation goodness. =]

Hope this helps!

You could set this up in logic audio too if you wanted. I kinda want one of these...but I'm not sure if I want the xbase 09 instead.
