This video shows a simple Max For Live Device which allows the user to control any device parameter in Live via volume level. Shown in the video are using a kick drum to modulate the FM amount in Operator, Triggering a reverb’s dry/wet controls from a drum loop and finally, using a synth’s LFO to change distortion controls. The device uses the new MFL object, live.remote~, to manipulate device controls at audio rate, which is much smoother than traditional 128 step midi resolution.
Just want to mention that some of the controls in the video don’t run too smoothly, I believe that is because of the processing power that is needed to record the screen cast. When not screen recording the movement of the manipulated controls closely follow the level of audio sidechained to it
