AutoPlay is a Max for Live MIDI device designed to generate dynamic and unpredictable rhythmic sequences without manual input. By processing incoming monophonic notes, it produces random step sequences that can be frozen or replayed consistently, offering musicians an innovative way to explore new melodic patterns. The device supports a wide range of timing options, from thirty-second notes to eight bars, including dotted and triplet variations, allowing users to tailor rhythms to their musical style.

This sequencer provides extensive control over note parameters such as gate length, velocity, and pitch with configurable minimum and maximum values. It introduces probabilities for note triggering, transposition, and even selective muting to create varied rhythmic densities. Users can select from multiple scales to automatically adjust pitch probabilities, and the device supports transposition by octaves in multiple directions. Additionally, AutoPlay integrates modulation capabilities, enabling up to four random modulations or MIDI control changes per note, each with adjustable attack and release settings.

Continuously refined through numerous updates, AutoPlay now features a redesigned user interface and improved sequencing accuracy. Enhancements include swing settings, on-beat MIDI sidechain options, velocity scaling based on input notes, and multi-note input handling for chords. The device’s memory function allows sequences to be saved and recalled precisely, making it a powerful tool for music producers seeking fresh and evolving rhythmic ideas within Ableton Live’s environment.
