Ableton Loop in its second year was a vastly expanded event, with more people, more interactions, and a greater sense of community. And it was more hands-on. The workshop with Skinnerbox, the duo that makes such robust use of Live, well, live, was overflowing. But now there’s a gift for everybody, not just those lucky enough to pack into the Berlin session.
It’s simple, but that makes it handy to learn from. And it’s quite useful. (I like stuff like that for learning patching for the first time. Sometimes you need a screwdriver, not a CNC machine.)
Curve does what it sounds like – take a MIDI input, map to a curve. It really ought to be a native MIDI device, but until Ableton does (cough), it’s a great Max for Live tutorial.
CURVE by SKINNERBOX is a follow up device to our workshop during ableton loop 2016. simply map a midi controller to “MIDI IN” and use the mapping controls to map the incoming signal to any parameter within live. the “CURVE” parameter allows you to apply a logarithmic / exponential curve to the incoming signal and thus make the most out of your controller and add some “musical” precision. values less then 1. will produce a logarithmic curve whereas values more then 1. will produce an exponential curve.
