| Description: | gd-piles is is a Max For Live device that I originally created in the Max/MSP Pluggo environment around 2003 & updated for M4L in 2024. This is a pretty simple layering effect with a fun & unique type of interface. This makes 5 layers (or piles) from the incoming audio. The sliders on the left are for different octaves (both forwards and backwards) but they dont quite act how you would expect! The sliders on the right are gain for each of the 5 layers. Buttons on bottom are to randomize and the toggle is to use the incoming audio to trigger the randomize buttons. |

This is a beautiful Device for running my field/microsound recordings through. May we have it where the settings can be saved? We can save a preset, but it just opens up a random setting every time. Also, it would be nice if these settings were maintained upon re-opening an Ableton track.

this is potentially the most vague product description I've ever seen... @neuro, what does this... do?

@wetterberg - this Device takes its input from an audio file on an audio track and splits it into 5 (five) different ‘streams’, or separate loops.
You will have control over the speed of the loops and the volume of the loops. Speed on the left, volume on the right. The speed is kinda granular in big chunks, and is only via octave playback. So, it becomes quite hectic with melodic material.
On top of this, it’s all completely randomized, unless you manually pull the sliders. Those buttons on the bottom just randomize the slider position/values.
With audio files, you’ll get really nice microsound chunks using quiet ‘clicks and pops’/field recordings material.
These loops are always busy - the speed of the granular chunks’ on/off seems rapid (hence my suggestion for quieter material).
The Norns Shield has a similar script, called “Graintopia”, and it has a lot more control: https://youtu.be/SnYWhsgHjiA?si=-aHL4PEC-GjVQYWa
About two minutes into the video, you’ll get a close-up of the screen for a more visual idea if my description is poor.
