Very interesting device to manipulate sounds by looping small segments of audio or triggering via midi notes. These can then be automated in a variety of ways and movements etc can even be recorded and played back. Great for soundscapes and droney type textures. Requires the latest Max for live for Ableton Live.
Iota is a Max for Live Instrument to be used with Ableton Live. Iota uses granular synthesis to loop individual segments of a sample. Loops can be drawn as rectangles over a spectrogram, designating the region of the sample to be looped, as well as the frequency range that loop is filtered through. You have access to many parameters for each individual loop. Loops are played back either constantly, or by triggering loops with MIDI note messages.
