Electronic music producer Mormo wanted a specific sound. He took matters into his own hands and used Max for Live to make it happen in a day.
The 'record stop' sound - caused by a vinyl record slowing down after the turntable's motor is stopped - is a classic effect used by DJs and turntabilist. Glitch-hop producer Mormo took matters into his own hands and created the Pitch Drop device.
Pitch Drop has only two controls: the Drop Duration knob sets how long it takes for the pitch (and thus speed) to drop to zero after Drop Activate is pressed the Drop Activate button enables the pitch drop effect. Pressing it again resumes normal audio.
- Re: Ableton Live pitch-shifting Post by yur2die4 ยป Fri May 13, 2016 4:10 pm If you look in Packs in the Ableton site, filter it to free max ones, there is one pack of devices that utilize tools from the more recent version of max.
- A MIDI clip may play out of tune if it has been triggered after another MIDI clip which contains pitch bend automation that doesn't end at '0'. To fix this, insert an automation breakpoint for the pitch bend at the beginning of the next MIDI clip to reset the Pitch Bend to its default value. You can also set the automation breakpoint to '0' at.
After familiarizing himself with Max for Live, Mormo worked for a single day on his first Max for Live creation. The result is the wonderfully simple Pitch Drop device, which takes incoming audio and slows it down at an adjustable rate.

Ableton Pitch Speed
I'm looking for a way to move pitches in a melody and was wondering which plugin is the best for that (while performing), in ableton? Also, I noticed that every clip has a 'Frequency' knob that can be used, but only after and while its been recorded and, most importantly... selected!I think that building a 'Frequency' or 'Pitch' device with Max for Live would be really simple... But isn't there an Ableton Live device that simply features that (and would save me the $)? I can't find it! Or I can't figure those 'Frequency Shift' ones to use them for that purpose...
Is Discord 2 the only way and the cheapest, so far, to shift pitches around, while in performance?
