Ableton/Live/UG/33 Max for Live Devices/02 Max for Live Audio Effects/04 Shaper
- A modulator whose output is a breakpoint envelope drawn in its display.
- Mapping, Mod, polarity and Min/Max work as described in Ableton/Live/UG/33 Max for Live Devices/02 Max for Live Audio Effects.
- Drawing:
- click to add a breakpoint;
Option-drag (Mac) or Alt-drag (Windows) between points to curve a segment; Shift-click a point to delete it - Clear erases the envelope; six presets next to it start a new one
- Grid sets grid divisions; Snap snaps points to the grid
- The small display at the top right shows the output like an oscilloscope.
- Jitter adds randomness; Smooth softens sudden changes.
- Phase — start position in the cycle; R retriggers from there (disabled in Sync time mode)
- Offset — moves the center of the output up or down
- Trigger modes:
- Loop — repeats at Rate
- 1-Shot — plays once each time the mappable T button is pressed
- Manual — the Manual control scrubs through the envelope
- Rate — in Hz or synced divisions
- Depth — modulation amount for all targets
