With Data MIDI or Data Mod, you can select and loop your input data, with the lowest data value automatically corresponding to your lowest allowed output, and the highest data automatically corresponding to your specified upper output limit. Data MIDI and Data Mod also allow you to trigger data at any multiplied metrical base rate, with optional cycle reset as well as Euclidean sequencing for a wide variety of rhythmic patterns, with offset delay and swing further enhancing note timing. You can also trigger data at a millisecond rate — or via arbitrary MIDI pattern input. Data MIDI and Data Mod can also harness MP4 or MOV video files, real-time camera input, or raw OSC data.
SONIFICATION TOOLS A FINALIST IN THE 2024 MIDI INNOVATION AWARDS
A variety of trigger modes allow you to engage with Data MIDI’s output in a variety of ways, all of which can be constrained via 69 scales in any key, set locally, via Live 12, or via the included Global Hub utility. Better yet, you can expand or contract the range of note pitch, velocity, or length output in real time to dynamically express your selected data source in highly musical ways.

“Just had a play, mainly with Data MIDI and Data Mod. Overall it's great and I would definitely recommend it. The text to sound function is good for coming up with interesting, rhythmic-sounding patterns. The video to sound function I love. Using Data Mod you can map the brightness of the video to any parameter you want - up to eight parameters in total. I used my laptop camera as an input and had a lot of fun covering and uncovering the lens with a book to make sounds that were higher or lower, darker or brighter. You can use the image to sound function to scroll up/down or left/right over an image and sonify it ... for small datasets, it's a gamechanger — it's very powerful and makes it very quick and easy to get incredible sounds with no code.”
— Miriam Quick, Loud Numbers
Adding another twist, data can also be randomized to easily generate a wide variety of patterns and tone from scratch. Data MIDI and Data Mod can also be Gated to only produce MIDI above or below a certain threshold for more rhythmically complex output. And with Live 12, you can use our MIDI Tool Generators Dataforge to sonify data or Typewriter to sonify text directly in your MIDI clips, with the bulk of Data MIDI’s settings on offer.
Whether you type or copy personally meaningful data or images, or research and source data sets available online or elsewhere, Sonification Tools allow you to embed real-world phenomena in your creative process — and express those phenomena as uniquely as you wish, giving them a voice through your music and inspiring new approaches along the way.

Not sure what data to use? Sites like Our World In Data are a great place to start. You can also type in personally meaningful numbers — or an arbitrary string of data can also be randomized from scratch within each device to easily generate infinite sequences, patterns, and tones. A groundbreaking set of tools for artists and producers, our Sonification Tools allow you to embed real-world phenomena into your creative process — and express those phenomena as uniquely as you wish, giving them a voice through your music, and inspiring newly meaningful approaches in the process.
Includes: Data FX, Data MIDI, Data Mod, and Data Synth Max for Live devices, Dataforge and Typewriter Max for Live MIDI Tool Generators, Utility Boost, manual.
