I love my visual effects, and I’ll use as many as you can provide, all at the same time until it’s a right nice mess. The one thing I’ve struggled with in the past has been getting a consistent and tight sync between Live and Arena, which may well have been solved with Arena 6 already. ![]() I have to admit I haven’t had time to try Arena 6 yet, and I know there is a new Ableton communications technique, which may open some doors for me. I spent ages on this side of the set-up, trying to create something I could jam with just like I was playing an audio-only set, with my usual glitching and chopping approaches, but whereby the visual would also follow in sync and in style. I use Max for Live’s old API tools for these jobs, although there are plenty more parameter to parameter tools out there which do the same sorts of jobs, some where you can draw in the correspondences yourself. Sometimes a straight line needed to map to a shallow, or sharp, curve or map to a limit less than the highest value on the receiving end. ![]() So, I use hundreds of Max for Live devices for changing the mapping correspondences. In fact, what I found was that 1:1 mappings rarely felt natural. There is another, more practical, reason why I send all my controls through Ableton en route Resolume, which is that I can use Max for Live devices to map the control curves – it may be that I want a particular graining effect to come in as I filter in a sound, but maybe a 1:1 mapping of the filter cut off to the grain fade parameter doesn’t quite work. ![]()
