Max 7

Post by crystalmsc » Thu Sep 18, 2014 2:52 am

the first peek of MAX 7 http://cycling74.com/2014/09/17/a-first-peek-at-max-7

I'm excited with the future of Max for Live. I expect Live 10 to be a big release with major improvements upon many user requests, including a more solid integration with M4L. Hopefully Max 7 will bring many fresh and new things.

Funny video btw :) http://youtu.be/tvRoE89VW-I

It's getting more interesting! I like the vibes of the "funny video" series of the sneak preview. a bit relaxing to see such kind of things in the world of max, a good way to tell that it's going to be easier to use, with a more user friendly interface. Crash recovery is cool!

Any rumors when Live 10 could be released?
Hope Max 7 will have better performance

I'm not getting my hopes up... In that last youtube vid (4), I asked Cycling74 about the difference in release of Max-7 Vs. M4L-7 and they said it took 2 years after they released Max-6 for their customers, for Abes to release M4L-6 for Live customers, so they don't know when Abes will be ready with the conversion this time..... 2 YEARS!!!

that's during the early years of M4L implementation. Since it's getting way more mature now, hopefully it's going to be faster now.

it's all speculation for now, but to have more Max 7 goodness in Live 10 release is going to be one of the most interesting thing to me.

One more time… :lol:

It's not a "conversion."

The release they were talking about was Live 9. So if history is any indication then the actual point at which the M4L code will get updated is when a new version of Live is released. Who knows, though. They might bring it in a 9.2 update.

Also, recall that I told you in your other thread that Max 6 actually worked fine as the editor for M4L in Live 8, just that it wasn't officially supported. Max 7 might work just fine as the editor for Live 9. We'll have to see.

One thing I do wonder is that if you don't seem to create your own patches why are you concerned with M4L being updated. What specifically is it that you need that you aren't finding with Max 6 and Live 9?

Yes, I understood that the Max program is not converted and that M4L is just code that allows Live to use Max.... That Translation Code is what I was refering to... Code for M4L 6 being converted (re-written... updated) to M4L 7 code.

I now have Max 7 running on my machine and it seems like the M4L patches that I have opened from Live are working fine... I have only gone through a few. But so far I haven't had any pop-up messages telling my to go upgrade my licence.

I only care about having a High quality Time Stretch/Pitch Shifting Sampler that responds to tempo and will properly apply the shift data when using slice to midi.... And even now that I have Max 7 loaded, I still can't use it cause I don't know how to build it.... So I'll STILL have to wait for new M4L packs to be created anyway. (I am one of the people who have been asking for Time Stretching/Pitch Shifting in Simpler/Sampler for the last 9+ years.

Look like 7 is coming with lots of M4L goodies and is fully compatible .... at a 299 $ crossgrade rate ?

This one is interesting:

Included Devices
Drag one of the new pitch-and-time manipuating Max for Live devices into Max 7 or Ableton Live and you’ll be matching and mangling beats in no time.

Looking from the other features, seems like it's on the melodyne/autotune mood.

a dozen new devices exclusive to Max 7, including:
Pitch/ time mple playback devices (Classic Player, PitchTime Player, Pitch Correct Player, Synced Player Bit Player)
Pitch Shifting Effects (Pitch & Vibrato, Pitch & Echo)
Pitch and Time Instrument (More Simpler)
Pitch Analysis (Pitch Tracker)
Harmonization (Dual Harmonizer, Multi Harmonizer)
Vocoding (Mono Vocoder, Multi Vocoder)
Intonation correction (Autotuna, Microtuna)

Was just playing with this one.... Stretch and Shift sound very clean, and stays clean for a really far range. My pc may need to be upgraded though cause once I was in the zone of extreme stretching with the hightest quality, my cpu went from 5% to 70% in seconds.... off that one device (granted I was doing some extreme mangling at that point). This unit looks to be a player only though, I was able to drop it on a Drum Rack pad but it doesn't play the sample until i hit play on transport... and the drum pad seems to not affect it... I have a lot to learn, but loving it already.

There's so many folders... I'm probably gonna be stuck here for Hours just trying all the new stuff...

OH MY GOD, I'm in heaven... It's called 'More Simpler'. Pitch Shifting/ Time Stretching Sampler, haven't seen one that reacts to tempo yet... But tremolo of sampled instruments and length of sampled instrument remain consistent up and down the keyboard... No more speeding up and slowing down and getting out of time.

As far as I can see, Cycling '74 says that Max 7 is compatible with Live. However, in order to be able to use it, you must have the full version of Max 7, not just Max for Live.

Presumably, Ableton will enable Max 7 as part of a future version of Live. If past history is a guide, buying the Max 7 upgrade now will decrease your price for upgrading Live later.
