Overview
| Name | Version: | MOTYV 1.0 |
| Author: | escapall |
| Device Type: | MIDI Generator |
| Description: | MOTYV — Real-Time MIDI Generator for Ableton Live A Max for Live device that generates melodies, chord progressions and arpeggios in real time, built on modal harmony and tension-resolution logic instead of random note generation. Every phrase suspends on an unstable scale degree and resolves back to the tonic — the result sounds like a written hook, not a randomizer output. ═════════════════════════════════════ THREE ENGINES, ONE BRAIN ═════════════════════════════════════ • Melody — a repeating motif that develops across the phrase, like a real synth lead • Chords — modal voicings (quartal, sus2, sus4, open) — no generic I–IV–V progressions • Arp — a built-in arpeggiator with nine patterns, built from the same voicings All three modes share the same chord progression, so melody, chords and arp stack in key across separate clips. ═════════════════════════════════════ NINE SCALES & MAQAMS ═════════════════════════════════════ Minor, Dorian, Phrygian, Harmonic minor, Mixolydian, Lydian, Major — plus Hijaz and Nikriz maqams for Middle Eastern and Balkan color. Each scale has its own gravity: its own degrees to suspend from and resolve to. ═════════════════════════════════════ STRAIGHT INTO ABLETON ═════════════════════════════════════ Highlight a clip slot, set six controls, hit GENERATE. The MIDI clip writes directly into Live via the Live API — tempo follows your set, swing is baked in, no BPM dial needed. Don't like it? Hit GENERATE again. ═════════════════════════════════════ REQUIREMENTS ═════════════════════════════════════ • Ableton Live 12.2 or later • Max for Live (Max 9) • macOS or Windows ═════════════════════════════════════ TRY BEFORE YOU BUY ═════════════════════════════════════ The same generation engine runs free in your browser — no install, no account: https://motyv.netlify.app One-time purchase, $39.
