visage - fm drum machine
visage is a four track fm drum synthesizer built for ableton live
i made this for myself a while ago to make digital sounding drum loops where i could have control of timbre etc. just wanted something simple - essentially a cold, metallic sounding drum machine that can be broken apart in ableton, with some cheap dsp effects that you can modulate with live lfo’s
features:
- separate outs so you can process each track individually. take a blank audio track in ableton and set the input to visage, and find all the separate outputs labelled channels 1-5 (kick is channel 1; fx is 5; etc.).
- trigger each track with midi c1-d#1
- a mode that lets you start/stop the sequencer for individual tracks - for arrangement. turn this on in the settings and start/stop tracks by holding c0-d#0 respectively. midi note on + hold = play sequencer ; midi note off = stop sequencer
thanks to tom hall for letting me use his tmh.verb patch for the reverb. i made some modifications, but the architecture is all his https://www.tomhall.xyz/
it’s a bit buggy, and there’s things i’ll try my best to fix and improve on, but i don’t have much time that i can dedicate to it. i decided to implement a 'pay if you can' model - if you can afford it, your support will go a long way in further development, bug fixing, and allowing me to continue making patches.

bug list:
some of these i just don’t know how to fix, or can only think of long, complicated ways to correct. so any help is appreciated.
- reverb has really harsh feedback in some settings
- step 64 doesn’t respond to decay or velocity sliders
- volume sliders are inaccurate
built in live v11.3.35 and max v8.6.2
