Scatterbrain equivalent for Ableton? Rhythmic multi- bus audio splitter for desktop
Hello!
I am trying to find a device, plugin, or max4live device capable of chopping an incoming audio signal rhythmically and outputting slices to different busses based on a step sequencer
Bram Bos's Scatterbrain for ios accomplishes this beautifully
For those unfamiliar~ Scatterbrain allows you to do things like route steps 1 6 and 12 to a reverb, steps 2 3 4 11 to a pitch shifter, and the other steps to play through without processing
Is anyone aware of any tools that allow rhythmic sequenced bus routing within ableton or any other way to rhythmically reroute an audio signal through different pipelines of effects within ableton?

I have it. But never used it. I will now.
Did you ever get anywhere with this? Was thinking same thing, then thought a bit more about it. I wonder if you could do the same thing with a multi channel processing chain, sequencing the changes with clip automation? You’ll have to “slice” the audio pre chain.
I would use Voltage Modular for this on desktop. I have an idea of which modules in my head but need to test it out. Fun little project to think about. Will report back if I get anywhere.
Hm. Did you check the maxforlive website, isotonikstudios…
And bram is going to port (all?) apps to (apple silicon?!) mac
It's not the same, but you could create an Effectrack with the FX you want on individual chains (plus a dry chain), space the chains evenly, map the chain selector to a macro and program the changes in clip automation. It probably makes sense to use the paint tool (shortcut: b) Haven't tried it though.
If you have standard or suite and always want dry signal present, you could als put FX on Sends and automate these. Or set the output to sends only and have one send without FX
Yes, this seems like the way to go - just send the same audio to different channels and chop them up via whatever method. It won’t be editing in one channel affects them all as it is in Scatterbrain, but overall it won’t be much more effort.
The advantage of doing it in one rack and automating the chain selector would be, that you could do it all in one automation lane and don't have to switch back and forth. Might also be cool to have the rack on a separate channel with dummy clips and route the audio there, then you could save the channel with a couple of clips you could reuse and also send audio from different channels.
@annahahn I've tried it and it seems to work fine. If you like, I can upload a liveset.
Oops just realized, the original post was from 2021... We'll, if anyone's interested I can upload my solution.
