Starting de- mystification process.....

Live was not prototyped in MAX. But almost all audio devices were. Parts of the concept were adapted from MAX patches Gerhard and me used for making music.
Other parts are derived from experiences we made when Gerhard wrote the sampling modules for Reaktor. Gerhard has a long history of creating granular based software, starting at a Sicicon Graphics workstation at Techincal University Berlin...

Most parts of Live were prototyped - on paper. Tons of sketches, month of discussions before the first line of C++ has been written.

So, the missing link is not there...

Best, Robert

I didn't know that there was an NI / reactor connection, that's interesting

Hi,

Nice necro-threading! :)

Robert has release the "The legendary PX-18 step sequencer" as a Max for Live device a while ago:

So, I guess someone needed a Monolake step sequencer (and I won't have to make a teaser Youtube video this time ;))

Kind regards,
