“[S]ome of the most interesting and idiosyncratic free audio effects out there…”
—Cycling 74

“The KaiGen Suite is a collection of some of the most interesting generative plugins that we’ve ever seen…”
—Keith McMillen Instruments

“This is a deep and powerful set of generative tools.”
—The Pro Audio Files

“…cool little powerful device.”
—The Producers Kitchen, Max for Live Roundup: 5 Free Instruments

KaiGen is an interactive and generative software suite I have developed solely for use in Ableton Live (as a Max for Live plugin) or in Max/MSP (Project files included) from Cycling ’74. These were first shared as Max patches beginning in 2006, developed for use by Made Audible beginning in 2008, and are used extensively in my upcoming (2021) CorpseBoy album.

These are provided free, as is, no tech support included. If you do have an issue that you think I should know about, please do send me a message via the contact page.

While you are here, please take a moment to subscribe to my YouTube Channel, experimental music, tutorials, and more.

KaiGen-M can be used to generate melodies, bass lines, harmonies, and more.
All bass lines, horn parts and percussion parts in this video are generated by KaiGen, running Kontakt in Ableton Live.

KaiGen-R can be used to generate rhythms, velocities, durations, and more.
All bass lines, horn parts and percussion parts in this video are generated by KaiGen, running Kontakt in Ableton Live.

KaiGen-Smaple-Palyer is a sample player that allows you to easily drag and drop files live, randomize their occurrence, change their pitch and direction, or: tie them to a beat. All mapped to your Push.

KaiGen-I-Ching uses the I-Ching (coin-method) to generate hexagrams that are then used to create program changes for your MIDI instruments. Please note: Not all plugin synths support program change via MIDI, so this may not work on some. In some synths you will need to build a Program List (Native Instruments) or Bank that the KaiGen-I-Ching will access and change.

Or you can just use it as an oracle during your Ableton Live sessions.

The intro music was all generated with KaiGen-I-Ching and KaiGen-M using Massive from Native Instruments.

Also included: KaiGen-C. KaiGen-C generates controller information that can be smoothed and manipulated in different ways. The ultimate control change knob twiddler.

Updated Nov. 14, 2020: fixed some bugs, more consistent appearance, added Max Project folders.

Updated Jan. 31, 2017: Now includes Max abstraction of the pulse generator and probability gate. Included, but not shown i the videos above is KaiGen-C. KaiGen-C generates CC data to twiddle knobs in different ways.

Please note these are Max for Live (M4L) plugins only for Ableton Live, not VST, AAX, or AU.

Software is “Name Your Own Price.”
$0.0 is fine, but if you would like to contribute, any amount is appreciated. Thank you!

Audio, Max, a Stereo “Y” Cable, and an Expression Pedal

January 12, 2020

Audio, Max, a Stereo “Y” Cable, and an Expression Pedal: An easy path to an inexpensive MIDI expression pedal.

I’ve been using the following method to use an expression pedal in Max *without* MIDI for quite a while, with an early version in my paper How I Lost 150 lbs. thanks to Max/MSP! So thought I would share the newer version I am using as this question comes up regularly.

Nothing to download: If you are a Max user, the below is copy/compressed code, so, just copy and paste it into a new patcher. Comments are in the patch.

The Desert fathers—a collection of ascetics, monks, and hermits—fled the persecutions and chaos of the Roman Empire in the third century AD and settled in the deserts of Egypt, seeking safety and solace in loose-knit refugee communities at the margins of civilization. When the persecutions stopped, they remained-drawn as individuals by the solitude, privation, and self-discipline borne of desert life.

Born the son of wealthy landowners, orphaned, and later disciple of a local ascetic, St. Anthony the Great is noteworthy as the first to actually pursue an isolated (anchoritic) life in the desert itself. His biographies describe in vivid detail the afflictions and visions of his isolation—torments from which he emerged enlightened, serene, and healthy. After this, he moved further into the wilderness even as his fame grew, founding his own monastery where he dedicated himself and his disciples to prayer and the discipline of manual labor.

Shenouda the Archimandrite first visited the White Monastery (so named for the color of limestone of its outer walls) located near the Upper Egyptian city of Souhag as a boy. He remained there as a result of a vision granted to the monastery’s abbot, and eventually served as its abbot during its heyday as a thriving ascetic community.

Anthony and Shenouda were both canonized after their deaths as saints in the Coptic Orthodox Church. As monks, they combined their own individualized practices with regimens attuned to their lives in a desert environment and introduced elements of shared communal practice (the sharing of meals and liturgical practice) into their communities that laid the foundations for what we now think of as Christian monasticism.
