That's it! I released SBAM, my first Max for Live instrument! 🎉
You can get it on Gumroad or Patreon (link in bio -> Linktree).
Feel free to share the news ❤️

SBAM is at it's core a Sampler sequencer. It's an infinite source of inspiration and a fun toy to play with.

I've covered a ton of stuff from independent makers on the @isotonikstudios.bsky.social shop for Max for Live. So here's a round-up of some of the best picks -- just in time for Darren's birthday (meaning they're also on sale.)

Could be just the toys you need to find a little extra inspiration.

Think I'll read this once a week forever.

Patricia Routledge, I love you.

Being tired is probably because I should sleep better.

AI is the war tool of the age of disbelief. And not to believe in art and craft is to believe in nothing (because what's left if not the spaghetti god or the pink unicorn?).

generative AI devalues things made by human beings not because it's good enough to produce what we do but because it lowers the belief in what we are capable of as artists. AI reproduces us statistically but cannot create something.

people become jaded and write off human creation. this sucks.

I just read your article about it, I never knew it existed. Well, that could be a nice challenge!

Tomavatars @tomavatars.bsky.social · Jul 28

SBAM.ouseOnMars. Kind of.

Get SBAM on my Gumroad or Patreon. Support tiny artist/dev and make music with a fun device!

What could possibly go wrong?
(211 billion given to companies while the French government wants to freeze or reduce social benefits).

Meanwhile, I'm modulating an instance of SBAM with another instance of SBAM.

Hip hop break demonstration. The Amen Break is universal!

I'm still adding more features and also cleaning! Envelopes and Stretch are way better, I've enhanced the UI and I added a transient shaper sequencer lane! I also added some very useful options.

Je ne peux pas lire l'article, mais les limites de l'IA ne seront elles pas le tarissement des sources ? Parce que si plus personne ne fait de contenu, où vont elles se nourrir ?

I'm nearly done with it!
Expect a release very soon.

I'm really happy with the result, it might be more powerful than my Falcon version.

TLDR perso du stream FAQ Stunfest d'hier :

- 3 jours de festival : 24, 25, 26 octobre
- prix pas encore fixé mais clairement moins que les dernières éditions
- Lieu : maison des associations + 4bis
- jauge : 2000 personnes à la fois
- pas d'espace extérieur mais une buvette dedans

Mood: wild swing

I added a new sequencer: swing and sequencers shape. These are adding more sequencing madness to SBAM!
Btw, I'm totally assuming that this is an instrument made to generate accidents. I'm doing my best to make it reliable but hey, ain't surprise more fun?!

That's strange because I think this is happening in France right now.
