MFA Note Transformer: Free Ableton Live Rack Injects Fresh Ideas Into Stale MIDI Patterns

This new effect rack from Manifest Audio is a great tool for introducing MIDI note variations into any of your Ableton Live tracks. Plus you can download Note Transformer for FREE!  

If you're struggling for inspiration or even if you're just always on the look out for fresh ideas, here's a new MIDI effect rack for Ableton Live 9.7 and higher, and it's the debut release from Berlin-based Manifest Audio

Manifest Audio’s Note Transformer is here to inject new life into stale MIDI patterns, delivering fresh ideas with the easy twist of a dial or two.

Intuitively configured macro assignments allow for knob-driven expression of new harmonic formulations via 66 Chord types, transposable in any Key through 85 included Scales. Imbue any MIDI input with dynamic chord progressions or scaled melodies – and with a controller connected, generate unique harmonic content with rotary expression like never before.

The Note Transformer 001 MIDI Effect Rack can be used with Ableton Live 9.7.x and higher. Drag the .adg file to your User Library presets or another secure folder you can easily navigate to in Live’s Browser. From there, simply drop it on any MIDI track in your set to process MIDI signal going to any Live instrument device, VSTi, or AU instrument.

You can find out more and download the effect for free from https://manifest.audio/alldevices/note-transformer-001
