GoMoDo version 2
January 5th, 2019Every so often, I run into someone that has fond memories of the Hipno plug-ins and asks me if they will ever be resurrected. These folks inspired me to spend the tail end of 2018 looking back in my archive and trying to resurrect one of my favorites from that collection: GoMoDo.
My contributions to the collection were focussed on hybrids between granular techniques and other common types of audio processing. One of problems I had with real-time granular processing on a live source is that the loud bits sound interesting, while the quiet bits are less so.
GoMoDo aimed to solve this through a hybrid of noise gating and granular processing. The plug-in lets you set a threshold and use the audio source’s dynamic variations to control what goes into the sampling buffer, and what gets ignored.
Just before Christmas, I posted a new version of GoMoDo to maxforlive.com as a free download. At the time of this writing, it has already been downloaded over 300 times, which confirms there is still demand for new granular devices among Ableton Live and Max users. It also motivates me to try resurrecting more plug-ins from the Hipno collection in this format, so check back in the months ahead.
GoMoDo: this Max for Live device resurrects one of my favorite plug-ins from the Hipno collection.
