I almost hesitate to categorize this as live coding, because it looks really useful in arrangement relative to the GUI, and you might not use it as a livecoder would onstage. It’s a pretty radical addition to Live, and arguably more radical than anything we’ve seen officially from Ableton Live in the software itself for years. Remove overlaps, making polyphonic clips monophonicĪnd you can do all of this by clip, musical fractions (like 1/8 notes), and whole or decimal numbers.Change length (via cropping or setting to certain lengths).Some of the tasks those transformations can accomplish: You can add simple transformations, or chain a bunch together. Type transformations into clips, and those clips then transform patterns inside the clips. mutateful just takes that idea way further out. That paradigm isn’t new to Live – the software already lets you enter tempo changes in scenes by including the number. Mutateful lets you do that by typing directly into the Session View of Ableton Live. The core of live coding is all about finding that immediacy of compositional ideas – being able to get directly to patterns. And then there are the often clunky graphical interfaces found in music software. So yes, there are knobs and faders and pads and keys and wind inputs and whatnot for playing music live. And it looks like a must-have for arrangement and composition, too. Mutateful brings live coding – real-time musical pattern manipulation, expressed as code – to Ableton Live.
