You have to play with a flying robot this Thursday. This was my greeting early on a Monday back in August when I walked into work. My curiosity was piqued. I mean, that’s not the kind of sentence you hear every day (or every week/month/year/ever for that matter). When Thursday finally came, Xingbo Wang and Natasha Dalal–two former interns at WaveDNA–arrived with what they called a flying drum machine. The…
New Ableton Push Beta MIDI Support It’s been a long time coming. We have hinted at it, teased at it, and finally it’s here (almost) … We have a build of the Ableton Push Beta Liquid Rhythm Script that we feel is stable enough to share with the masses and it’s awesome! 4 months in the making, hundreds of development hours, and more than a few games of Quake to…
Back From a Great NAMM Show, WaveDNA Shares AudioFanzine’s Demo Video Featuring DJ Shine Weary from the long trip, the WaveDNA Demo Warriors have finally returned home from NAMM 2014. Ignoring the pain of their sore throats they shared stories of the amazing love they received from all the booth visitors. There were plenty of surprised faces, kinds words and very intrigued musicians, some of whom ran home from the…
PhD Naresh Vempala Jamming We have a great research partnership with Ryerson’s SmartLab, where Naresh is a Post Doctorate researcher. Full disclosure, we work closely with Dr Naresh Vempala, as we are collaboratively exploring the relationships between music, emotion and cognition. Hopefully in the near future, the team will publish a unique emotion prediction Max4Live patch (shh… it’s a secret). We were pleasantly surprised when Naresh linked us his first…

Pushing the Push programming envelope at WaveDNA!!! We are in the final Push (get it!!!) of programming and preparing for our booth at the NAMM show next week in Anaheim, California. Last night things got pretty freaking awesome when the first build of our Ableton Push interface designed for our Max For Live Patch, Liquid Clips, was ready to be tested. And what could be more fitting than to have…
As we mentioned a couple days ago, we were very proud to part of the Returning Sun charity event. While upstairs on the main floor of the Revival lounge, the DJ’s and musicians were entertaining the crowd, we were in the basement participating in the silent auction, and providing some awesome background beats live. Allison, our support superhero and also our team’s video guru, put together this video in between…
Gather around kids, I have a tale to tell. The WaveDNA development team was starry eyed and bushy tailed at the end of 2012. You see, we had built our standalone application called Liquid Loops (later it grew up to be renamed Liquid Rhythm), and decided it needed to have friends. Music software will have play dates if it implements a plugin interface such as VST/AU/RTAS/AAX. We sat down and…
For a school project, we were told to create a stop-motion animation piece. Since we were given so much freedom on what our subject matter and concept could be, I decided to base my design on something real—since it’s very easy to fall into the habit of just making up random companies or products that don’t exist for the sake of your design aesthetic when you are given full control…
Custom Settings Allow for the Perfect Surprise with Liquid Rhythm’s Randomizer The Randomizer is easily my favourite feature in Liquid Rhythm, and not just because I worked on it. As a non-drummer musician, I love to plug Liquid Rhythm into Ableton Live, and come up with new melodies by using the Randomizer on pitched notes instead of drum pads. Of course, the Randomizer’s also great for tom fills and a…
