Alien Fetus – Max for Live Device

Alien Fetus is a generative audiovisual Max for Live device designed for artists, musicians, and performers who want to integrate reactive visuals into their Ableton Live sets. Developed as part of the Synesthetic Devices collection, this tool translates sound and live gestures into a range of evolving visuals—from organic motion and abstract geometries to atmospheric forms and particle-based animations.

Features

• Audio-Reactive Visuals
  Responds in real time to audio amplitude and transient information, allowing visuals to pulse, shift, and evolve in sync with your sound.
• Procedural Visual Generation
  All graphics are created live—no pre-rendered footage. The device uses mathematical functions to generate dynamic content on the fly.
• Live Color Modulation
  Adjust color palettes during performance to match the tone or intensity of your music in real time.

  Apply a smoky, immersive effect that adds dreamlike depth to your visuals.
• Multiple Drawing Modes
  Choose from several built-in rendering styles to customize the aesthetic output.
• Syphon Output Support
  Stream the visual output into other software environments via Syphon (macOS only).
• MIDI Mappable Controls
  All parameters are ready to be assigned to MIDI controllers, giving you expressive, hands-on control over your visual show.
