Blend
Mix A/B volumes with a shared 0 dB endpoint. Equal power starts both at −3.01 dB in the center.

Make room.
Make a move.
Two small tools for turning a Live Set into something you can play.
Blend two tracks with one gesture. Gather separated stems into a shared clip palette. Open the patches, change the code and make them yours.
001 / PERFORM THE MIX
Spectra Cube Automation
Turn a transition into a gesture—and let Live remember it.
Fade a new loop in while carving space in the old one. Trade foreground and background between two stems. Record the movement once, then edit and replay its X, Y and Z envelopes in Live’s normal automation lanes.
Carve
Trade lows and highs in opposing directions, using one EQ Three directly on each target track.
Make room
Balance the mids separately. Use the depth handle, Alt/Option-drag, or the native Z control.
Choose your response
Independent curves and shape controls for every axis. Linear EQ by default, plus gentle sweeps, a center hold, a faster center response and custom graphs you can draw.
Play it from Push
One front bank: shape/axis encoder pairs, curve buttons at 2, 3 and 5, plus the volume curve on encoder 7. Compact highlighted letter choices keep Push’s expanded lists short; Live keeps full names.
Keep the movement in Live
Native automation, immediate gain updates and display redraws capped at 20 fps. Volume-only tracks work too. Add EQ Three when you want Y/Z control.
Your first recorded mix
- 01 / Extract
Keep the .amxd beside its two bundled JS scripts. Load it on a dedicated MIDI track.
- 02 / Connect
Choose A/B. Add one EQ Three directly on each for EQ control. The volume endpoints are 0 dB; existing EQ baselines are retained.
- 03 / Record
Enable Automation Arm and Arrangement Record. Move the Cube or Push encoders 2/4/6.
- 04 / Replay
Stop recording and play the section. Use Re-Enable Automation after manual overrides; keep the Cube active.
This is the current automation edition. The older internal REC/LOOP device remains in historical releases; its recorded envelopes are not migrated automatically.
002 / ORGANIZE THE MATERIAL
Session Stem Collector
Many separated groups. Four common lanes. More combinations.
Stem separation gives you the parts; the collector makes them easier to play. Gather drums, bass, vocals and other clips from several source groups into one shared Session palette. Try one source’s drums under another’s bass or build a new set from your favorite pieces.

Preview before collecting
Select an inclusive track/scene rectangle and Scan. Review matching four-stem groups in the paged report, then Collect.
Keep rows together
Each source row becomes one destination row. Missing clips leave empty cells. Rows follow scene order, then group order.
Build a fresh palette
Each run creates four new muted tracks. Copies leave originals untouched and refuse occupied slots. Unmute and audition when ready.
From separation to Session palette
- 01 / Separate
Use Live’s stem separation first, with all four stems and no merging. Save a copy of the Set.
- 02 / Scan
Load the .amxd beside controller.js. Choose track/scene bounds and inspect the report.
- 03 / Collect
Copy matching clips into fresh Collected Drums / Bass / Vocals / Other tracks.
- 04 / Audition
Stop original clips before unmuting copies. Track effects, mixer settings and track automation are not copied.
Session View only. Group matching uses stem names; inspect the preview. This device organizes already separated clips and does not perform audio separation.
