Micron Resonator

v2.0 Max for Live Audio Effect

Micron Resonator is a feedbacker effect with the delay time tuned to a selected microtonal pitch. Choose an integer between 32Hz–63Hz and an octave between -3–3 to produce the resonant pitch center. Standard tuning frequency of A440Hz is TUNE 55Hz at OCT 3. The FEED parameter, which controls the feedback gain, includes an attenuator to keep the output level close to the input level.
- TUNE/OCT selects the pitch & register to set the delay time.
- TONE sets the cutoff for the lowpass filter on the effect signal.
- FEED sets the Feedback gain on the effect signal.

Micron Ringer

v2.0 Max for Live Audio Effect

Micron Ringer (fka Modulator) is a ring modulation effect that multiplies the input signal by a sine wave of a selected microtonal pitch. Choose an integer between 32Hz–63Hz and an octave between 0–6 to produce the modular pitch center. Standard tuning frequency of A440Hz is TUNE 55Hz at OCT 3.
- TUNE/OCT selects the pitch & register to set the delay time.
- TONE sets the cutoff for the lowpass filter on the output signal.
- SHAPE sets the shape of the modular signal from Sine to Square.

Micron Phaser

v2.0 Max for Live Audio Effect

Micron Phaser (fka Separator) is simple phaser effect that uses a bandstop filter. The tempo-synched RATE starts at the selected PHASE upon opening & playing. The RANGE of oscillation is logarithmically distant from the frequency center FREQ. The resonance parameter RES uses the unit of decibels per octave. The PHASE readout numbers identify the congruent pitch of the current tempo for pitch-synching.
- FREQ sets the frequency center between the shelf filters.
- RES sets the Resonance or Q of the filter configured in dB/oct.
- RATE selects the tempo-synched rate of oscillation.

Micron Filter

v2.0 Max for Live Audio Effect

Micron Filter (fka Sculptor) is a scoop filter effect that shapes the input signal using two crisscrossing shelf filters. Adjust the filter position on the x-axis with the frequency center FREQ, as well as distance from it with WIDTH, and the y-axis with the amplitude DEPTH. Output gain is provided through LEVEL, which also applies makeup gain needed from shelf filters overlapping each other.
- FREQ sets the frequency center between the shelf filters.
- DEPTH sets the amount to cut or boost at the selected FREQ.
- WIDTH sets the distance factor between the frequency centers.

Micron Distorter

v2.0 Max for Live Audio Effect

Micron Distorter (fka Distortor) is an amplitude audio effect that exponentiates the signal value by a power of the DIST level. Preceding this is the signal GATE and a limiter with makeup gain; both functions use a signal envelope with RAMP.
- GATE sets the level to open the signal gate, which closes 6dB below.
- RAMP sets the amount of time for the gate to both open and close.
- DIST set positive for distortion and negative for fuzz.

Micron Folder

v2.0 Max for Live Audio Effect

Micron Folder (fka Oscillator) is an amplitude modulation effect that folds the signal by an amount of pi-radians, which adds odd harmonics to the input signal. It applies either a Fold [pong] or Coil [sinx] function to the signal.
- GAIN boosts the input signal to get to the 0 dB threshold for folding.
- FOLDS sets the amount of folds applied to the signal in pi-radians.
- TONE sets the cutoff for the lowpass filter on the output signal.

Micron Pulser

v2.0 Max for Live Audio Effect

Micron Pulser (fka Pulsator) is an envelope audio effect that applies ramp-up, ramp-down, square, or sine function to the amplitude of the input signal. Each channel can be set to different beats, creating a stereophonic polyrhythm. Additionally, the angle of the ramp can be skewed using WIDTH. The PULSE readout numbers identify the congruent pitch of the current tempo for pitch-synching.
- WIDTH sets the curve of the pulse.
- LEFT/RIGHT selects the channel’s tempo-synced notes.
- DEPTH sets the amplitude depth of the pulse.

Micron Sequencer

v2.0 Max for Live Audio Effect

Micron Sequencer (fka Patternator) is a rhythmic audio effect that applies pulse amplitude on selected beats within a loop-based sequence. PULSE sets the length of the sequence, and RATE sets the tempo-synced speed. The SEQUENCE readout numbers identify the congruent pitch of the current tempo for pitch-synching.
- GRID switches on/off amplitude to create rhythmic sequences.
- RATE selects the amount of notes [n] that are tempo-synced.
- PULSE selects the length of beats in each pattern rotation.

Micron Flanger

v2.0 Max for Live Audio Effect

Micron Flanger is a simple flanger effect that implements a comb filter on the input signal. RATE controls the oscillator of the filter’s feedforward delay. FREQ sets the filter’s feedback delay value to Tuning Frequency. The FLANGE readout numbers identify the congruent pitch of the current tempo for pitch-synching.
- FREQ selects the Feedback Delay as a Chromatic pitch.
- FEED/RES sets the Feedforward/Feedback coefficients.
- RATE selects the tempo-synched rate of oscillation.
