Here is a brief video illustrating how Max for Live transforms all of Live into a modular. Max for Live allows you to override the normal left-to-right signal flow and patch Max for Live Devices to any mappable param in any track. I’m using Max for Live Envelope Follower on a a track with a Drum Rack to modulate the speed of an arp driving a synth in another track while performing on Push 2. The more energy I put into the drums, the slower the arp goes 😀.
