MPE S&H

MPE S&H — “MIDI Polyphonic Expression Sample And Hold” is a mouthful, isn’t it? — is a Max for Live MIDI Effect which allows gating and quantizing of MIDI notes and their MPE control data.

Sample-and-hold behavior can be triggered via multiple pathways, and you can dynamically bypass the effect on individual control types or the entire effect during playback.  In addition to traditional “S&H” trigger behaviors which achieve step-like results, it also has windowing options for enabling “smearing”.

Use MPE S&H at any position in your MIDI Effect chain to overlay rhythmic texture on MPE or other MIDI.

Peruse the User Manual to see all that it’s capable of.

You can combine gating and quantizing from different sources and rhythms.
The Quantizer supports irrational divisions.
Using triggers in ‘Block’ mode can add creative interruptions to predictable quantizer patterns.
