That's it! I released SBAM, my first Max for Live instrument! 🎉
You can get it on Gumroad or Patreon (link in bio -> Linktree).
Feel free to share the news ❤️
SBAM is at it's core a Sampler sequencer. It's an infinite source of inspiration and a fun toy to play with.

Could be just the toys you need to find a little extra inspiration.

AI is the war tool of the age of disbelief. And not to believe in art and craft is to believe in nothing (because what's left if not the spaghetti god or the pink unicorn?).
generative AI devalues things made by human beings not because it's good enough to produce what we do but because it lowers the belief in what we are capable of as artists. AI reproduces us statistically but cannot create something.
people become jaded and write off human creation. this sucks.

What could possibly go wrong?
(211 billion given to companies while the French government wants to freeze or reduce social benefits).
Meanwhile, I'm modulating an instance of SBAM with another instance of SBAM.

Hip hop break demonstration. The Amen Break is universal!
I'm still adding more features and also cleaning! Envelopes and Stretch are way better, I've enhanced the UI and I added a transient shaper sequencer lane! I also added some very useful options.

I'm nearly done with it!
Expect a release very soon.
I'm really happy with the result, it might be more powerful than my Falcon version.

Mood: wild swing
I added a new sequencer: swing and sequencers shape. These are adding more sequencing madness to SBAM!
Btw, I'm totally assuming that this is an instrument made to generate accidents. I'm doing my best to make it reliable but hey, ain't surprise more fun?!

Yeees!!!
I just implemented polymeter and polyrhythm.
Play the sequencers in two fashion: one will play the steps in the time of the resolution, on, the beat, one will fit the steps in the resolution loop, making more complex beats.

Finally some time to progress on SBAM, my first M4L instrument. It’ll be a 4 samples super slicer sequencer with some fun features. Inspired by my UVI Falcon script I made 3 years ago.
