Utility Boost
A collection of unique creative devices, Sonification Tools were designed by Ableton Certified Trainer Noah Pred to allow access to new musical ideas via real-world data sets. Just manually type or simply copy and paste raw numeric data into the text entry field of all four devices to generate corresponding MIDI patterns with Data MIDI or Dataforge, modulation sequences with Data Mod, or spectral filtration, wavefolding distortion, impulse convolution and even exported audio waveforms with Data FX.
Data can be typed in manually, randomly generated, or copied and pasted from any text, website, Google Sheet, CSV, Excel file, or basically anywhere to embody a string of numbers as change over time. Then select and loop the data as you like, with the lowest data value automatically corresponding to your lowest allowed output, and the highest data point automatically corresponding to your specified upper output limit — be it note pitch, velocity, length, or modulation. Data MIDI and Data Mod allow you to trigger data at any factored or fractional metrical base rate with optional cycle reset for a wide variety of rhythmic patterns.
Offset delay and swing further enhance MIDI output timing. You can also trigger data at a millisecond rate for more abstracted results, or via arbitrary note input.Includes:
