Press one button

One click to rule them all

Push your instruments to the edge. One click injects dozens of unique automation curves across your rack. Click again. And again. In under a minute you've got 32 bars of pure chaos written across every parameter.

Chaos

One click. Every lane filled.

Stamps multi-layer wave noise onto every unlocked parameter in your rack. Smooth, organic, never the same twice.

Good for · dense evolving textures, ambient pads, slow-motion sound design - everything moving with zero drawing.

Neuro

Gnarly. Random. Musical.

Random shape chunks - dotted ramps, hard chops, hyper-stutters, syncopated drops - across every unlocked lane. Wildly varied, never static.

Good for · neuro & DnB bass, dubstep wobbles, aggressive design where chaos still locks to the grid.

Reflector

Mirrored motion. Coherent rack.

Pairs every two lanes - base plus a value-flipped mirror - so the rack folds in on itself. Half Neuro pairs, half Chaos pairs, one click.

Good for · macro modulation in opposition: filter opens / resonance drops, drive up / volume down. Instant coherence.

Sample & Hold

Polyrhythmic stepped motion.

Per-lane stepped-random staircase. Each lane rolls its own rate - straight and triplet, down to 1/32 - so 1/4 against 1/8T locks into 4-against-3.

Good for · glitchy stepped textures, sequenced modulation, rhythmic motion without drawing a step.

Variations on demand

Every button is a variation.

Get multiple variations from the same synth/instrument rack instantly, with just a few clicks.

Every generator is a fresh take

Chaos, Neuro, Reflector, S&H - same rack, four totally different directions. Roll through them in seconds.

Stack them on the timeline

Apply, drag the .alc onto a clip. Click another generator, apply again, drag onto the next. A/B side-by-side in Ableton.

Mutate & Prism for finer takes

Found a curve you love? Hit Mutate to reroll it, or Prism to spin siblings across every other lane - anchors locked.

How It Works

Three steps. Zero friction.

01

Drop Stride on your track

Add the Max for Live device to any track with an instrument rack. Stride scans your rack and loads every parameter.

02

Shape your sound

Hit Chaos to fill every lane at once. Pick your favorite curve, then Bloom to make the rest complement it. Fine-tune with Smooth, Quantize, Swing.

03

Apply to clip

One click writes all automation directly into an Ableton clip. Drag it onto your track. Hit play. The automation stays - Stride's job is done.

Where Stride shines

Be honest about what you need

Made for

  • Generating unique variations from any Ableton rack you already own
  • Sound design sessions where you want curves you'd never draw by hand
  • Adding unexpected motion to static patches and racks
  • Bass, leads, pads, FX - making instruments do what they don't usually do
  • Per-clip automation that lives with the song
!

Not made for

  • !Mixing finished tracks (draw first, hear after - slow for tight feedback loops)
  • !Surgical mix-bus edits where real-time response matters

Stride is a creative tool. If you're trying to mix 10 tracks fast, look elsewhere. If you're trying to make one instrument do something it's never done before, you're in the right place.

FAQ

The questions everyone asks

Which Ableton edition do I need?
Live 11 or 12 Suite (includes Max for Live), or Standard with the M4L add-on. Lite and Intro aren't supported.
Does it work on Mac and Windows?
Both. Mac on macOS 11+ (Intel and Apple Silicon native), Windows on Windows 10/11.
Will it work with FL Studio / Logic / Bitwig?
No. Stride uses Max for Live to talk directly to Ableton's rack parameters, so it only runs in Ableton Live. If you don't use Ableton, Stride isn't for you.
Can I get a refund?
Yes - if Stride doesn't fit your setup, email us within 14 days for a full refund. No interrogation, no hoops.
