| Description: | VOID Shared Memory is a real-time communication system built around a set of Max for Live devices designed to extend Ableton Live with ultra-low-latency data exchange capabilities. Be aware : Max for Live devices ONLY FOR ARM MAC (Silicon) See Compatibility Notes at the bottom of the page From within Live, these devices allow continuous parameters, envelopes, triggers and arbitrary values to be generated, analysed and transmitted in real time to external environments, without MIDI, without OSC and without network-based protocols. This enables stable, direct and high-performance control workflows suited to live performance, audiovisual systems, installations and experimental prototyping. On the Ableton Live side, the package includes several ready-to-use Max for Live devices — VOID envFollower, VOID freqAnalysis, VOID 8params, VOID 8notes, VOID sync and VOID receiver — designed to integrate seamlessly into Live sets and to expose musical and temporal data in a structured, reliable way. These Max for Live devices are part of a larger, coherent toolkit, and rely on dedicated Max externals developed in C++ (shared memory writer / reader), as well as TouchDesigner CHOP operators (also written in C++), all included in the bundle. Together, they ensure full control over the data pipeline, minimal latency and precise real-time behaviour across systems. VOID Shared Memory is not a closed, turnkey effect, but a complete technical foundation, distributed as a research-oriented toolkit and delivered with all of its components — including Max for Live devices, externals, TouchDesigner operators, demo Live sets and demo TouchDesigner networks — reflecting a fast, focused R&D process entirely developed in-house by Julien Bayle Compatibility note VOID Shared Memory includes universal binaries for Max externals and TouchDesigner operators (Apple Silicon + Intel). However, due to current limitations in the Max for Live freeze mechanism and host architecture handling, Max for Live devices are officially supported on Apple Silicon systems only, with Ableton Live running natively. Max standalone usage and TouchDesigner plugins work as expected on both architectures. This limitation is technical and host-related, not a restriction of the underlying code, and may evolve in future releases. |
