Ableton/Live/UG/33 Max for Live Devices/03 Max for Live MIDI Effects/06 Shaper MIDI
- A modulator with a breakpoint envelope that restarts on every MIDI note and can respond to velocity — unlike the audio-effect Shaper.
- Mapping, Mod, polarity and Min/Max work as in the audio-effect modulators.
- Drawing:
- click to add a breakpoint;
Cmd-click (Mac) or Ctrl-click (Windows) adds the single sustain breakpoint, drawn larger. The envelope holds there while the note is held. 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 and Snap as in Shaper
- The small display shows the output; its LED flashes on each trigger.
- Jitter adds randomness; Smooth softens sudden changes.
- Velocity — how much note velocity scales the envelope; 0% ignores velocity
- Offset — moves the center of the output up or down
- Loop — repeats the envelope at Rate while a note is held, ignoring the sustain breakpoint
- Rate — in Hz or synced divisions
- Depth — modulation amount for all targets
- Echo — how much each echo of the envelope feeds the next; Time — the echo interval
