Isotonik Studios has introduced a Max for Live instrument designed for generating one-shot sounds through stochastic sample layering, allowing you to transform and repurpose old samples.
LayerLab by YRAKI lets you load a folder of sounds, trigger a MIDI note, and hear layers unfold in unpredictable ways.
You control how samples are selected and layered across 4 independent slots, adjusting parameters like sample position, playback latency, and speed, either tape-style (where speed affects pitch) or with time stretching (keeping pitch intact while altering duration). Additional controls shape panning, dynamic balance (volume relative to other layers, not gain), and more.
The XTRA window unlocks more tweaks, including playback direction (forward/reverse), LP and HP filtering, time stretching options, and L/R phase inversion.
Everything can be randomized in one click or fine-tuned via a matrix, where you can select which parameters to randomize or reset and set deviation amounts for controlled variation.
LayerLab for Ableton Live 12 (Suite/Standard with Max for Live) is priced £15 GBP incl. VAT.
