Ableton Forum

Hello Ableton TM!
To take the next step into the sound surgery I suppose you need to provide independent (of pitch and tempo) formant control over tuned melodic lines. I guess you know the hardware example known as Roland V-synth, which allows you to rotate the wave in 3D, gaining extra incredible textures.
You did a great job suppling the clip's transpose and other properties with MIDI mapping.
Best regards

try melodyne

Melodyne is good, no fool.
But the ableton's most valued feature is a real time tempo-shuffle linked processing, and it's a powerful tool just because of it. You can gather round plenty of cool software in a stack, each of them can do somewhat particular, but it's not so useless because it's just not in one box and you can hardly put hands on control.

Must be written- Not so usefull, certainly..ups

yes, Melodyne is terrific at what it does, but if LIVE is a realtime performance instrument - i think it makes perfect sense to add a realtime pitchshifting (or pitchfollow effect) as well as formant shifting to manipulate timbre in realtime.

i have no problem if there is the inevitable latency in realtime formant shifting/ pitchshifting, because the latency should be no more than a few tiny milliseconds.
