This Max for Live Audio effect is a collaboration project made by Blue Simon & Nino Theys. DIVE is an invitation to the repetition of waves, based on a sequencer triggering 3 different effects. Each step of the sequencer (from 0 to 8) can be turned on/off, and has knob settings for each of its 3 effects: The first one is the Saturation dry/wet, the second one is the Reverb dry/wet, and the last one is the Filter cutoff frequency.
On top of these 3 sequenceable parameters, the effects each have their own extra settings on the right side of the patch design.
The wave created by the sequence values is unique each time, much like the ocean’s waves it is originally inspired by.
This aesthetic choice also allows the user to better visualize the sequence. In order to accentuate the ever changing aspect of the patch, there is a one time “Randomize“ button, as well as the “Constant Random” toggle, which regenerates random values each time the sequencer comes back to step 1.

For the first use, simply drag & drop it into any Ableton’s track. Once inserted, the patch automatically syncs its sequencer to Ableton’s BPM.
References : The reverb was inspired by a YouTube video from “Fendoap ,” (max/ msp simple reverb using mc.object)

Have fun ;)
