New Glitch Effect For Ableton Live, Intello

Here’s a sneak preview of Intello – a new glitch effect for Ableton Live.

via Zettt1981

This is the plugin I am currently working on. It’s called “Intello”.

Basically it’s a glitch producing plugin and in this first short demo I’m showing you one of the 5 planned glitching modes. The plugin will be controllable by an iPhone application from a listening audience.

So the listeners can interact with a performer.

  1. Max + Live = Life to the max 🙂

    Being a M4L die hard myself I'm not really "astonished" since this is relatively basic (from a M4L point of view). Now, with "basic" I don't mean to suggest "easy peasy, not worth it". FAR from it. It simply isn't really rocket science once you got some deeper into M4L.

    Either way, once again it goes to show you what kind of impact M4L can have. This stuff is simply awesome. I dove into Live during their 10th anniversary and at first it was the reduced price which finally drew me over the edge to purchase M4L. At that time my focus was to grab a soft synth which should be as complete as possible and I wasn't really sure how much M4L would extend on that.

    And now I consider myself very lucky to have dived into this wonderful hobby at that specific time. M4L is so worth its money but I'm still really pleased with my discount 🙂 I had a few beers, forgive the perhaps silly remarks, but M4L is kind of like getting yourself a Lego DAW within your regular Live DAW. And as if that's not enough: if you don't like the design of your building blocks you simply pick up Java, C or Javascript (order of personal preference) and build your own stuff to extend the basics of M4L itself.

    What M4L did for me the past months? I can now stop recording whatever clip on whatever track I'm working on by hitting my foot pedal, I have a rather silly "noter" effect which pomps out some midi data either going up or downwards (note wise) in a configurable tempo AND most recently I now have a nice M4L scope which I'm using to dive deeper into the "FM synth secrets" which was triggered by the movies posted earlier on Synthtopia. (it helps to SEE the soundwaves and their "distortion" instead of looking at a group of sine waves in the default Live spectrum effect.

    Oh well.. Rambling off again 😉

    Bottom line: if you like Live and at times feel that you need that extra audio effect or "crazy idea" manifested (like my current one: "I want Operator to modulate data coming from Operator") you want Max for Live. Period 🙂

  4. Totally agree, if you love live and wish you could go "under the hood" to recieve messages from , or send messages to Live then you need to get M4L

    If html code scares you, you might prefer to stick with VSTs to tweak your sound 😉

  5. I heard that ABLETON wrote a statement saying that they messed up on their latest version and begged for their customers to stick with them.Any truth to that? I heard no LIVE 9 until 8 is fixed. Which makes me wonder what is BETA TESTING for?

  6. Hi guys,

    First of all. Thanks, James for posting this.

    Second. I'm glad you like my plugin. Yes, you need M4L to run this. The plan is to port it later to a C or C++ runtime environment so that people are able to run it without needing M4L. But that will take some time…maybe a year or two.
    Over at YouTube some are commenting that this plugin needs to compete with dblue. This is not exactly my goal (building another stupid Glitch Plugin, that copies what all the other Glitch Plugins already do). But I must admit that some Glitch techniques like changing pitch or bit crushing are already on my todo list…

  8. You refer to the quality statement which Gerhard Behles made. Read it yourself here: http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=

    As to testing.. That only gets you so far. It is impossible to root out every bug with beta testing, unless you have a HUGE tester base and can spend months on it.

    And well, obviously there are people who are having issues. There are also many people who have no issues at all. Polls seem to indicate that a small minority considers Live 8 unusable in comparison to 7, another minority says they have no issues at all and the majority experiences glitches every now and then without having it affect their work.

    I've been using Live 8 since december last year and the only time I experienced a crash was when I tried to side chain two vst's. Most people may blame Live at that point, I blamed the VST's and stopped using those 🙂

  10. Yea, i'm BANNED from viewing the ABLETON FORUM,so i cannot read the statement they made. i'm stuck on LIVE 7 and refuse to upgrade due to them BANNING me.
