Vsynth-Visuals in Ableton – Part 1

Kevin Kripper, the founder of the Max/MSP package Vsynth, published the lectures from his Vsynth classes at the University of Oregon on Patreon a few days ago.
Inspired by this, I revisited Vsynth after a long time and integrated my patch into Ableton 12 as a Max for Live device:

I then inserted “Envelope MIDI” to those samples in the Drum Rack which get triggered and assigned them to the corresponding parameters in the M4L VSynth patch:

I also mapped LFOs and Envelope Followers to other parameters in the Live Set to add more movement.

This creates very interesting audio-reactive visuals:

Thanks to Kevin Kripper for this amazing package!
