Are We Freed From Theory?
Things are really getting interesting in the world of software. The marriage of Ableton Live and Cycling 74 has spawned a widely versatile combination of the two in Max For Live, an open ended approach to building your own musical environments. Not having had a lot of experience building my own patches from the ground up, I didn't know how useful Max for Live would be in my own song writing process, but Henrik Schwarz has just changed that with The Schwarzonator, a Max for Live patch he has built to help help us play more complex harmonies, and avoid wrong notes during improvisation with other musicians.
Henrik describes it here:
"The Schwarzonator is a note twister. It's all about helping musicians (or non-musicians) find the right notes and chords in real time. It turns one finger playing into chords that fit together well. Choose from a list of Chord Sets in a drop down menu. Then all notes you play on your keyboard will fit into the selected Chord Set."
Here's the video of Henrik Explaining his creation. If you already own Max for Live you can download the patch for free right now and start using it! And let us know how u like it.

I think this is going to get me to buy Max for Live in and of itself. And its just one patch.
