Borrasca AM is a keytracked audio effect for Max for Live.
This device can be put anywhere in the fx chain, and it'll automatically detect MIDI input from the track it's on. It then keytracks the waveform that is modulating amplitude & panning.
"Amount" dictates the amount of AM, or amplitude modulation.
"Width" will use the waveform to pan every other wavecycle to the left, and every other to the right. This creates a stereo effect that collapses in mono.
You can adjust the keytracking with ratio, semitone offset, and glide controls. The keytracking will adhere to pitch bend automation from the current or selected MIDI track, and you can adjust the device's pitch bend range.
The glide works with a mono legato principle.
You can change the MIDI input from the current track to any other MIDI track from the "Sidechain" tab. This is useful if you're placing the device on an audio track, since it won't get any MIDI from audio tracks.
The "Manual" tab disregards all MIDI input and instead opens a semitone dial to control the speed of the waveform
Waveform options include sine, saw, triangle, and a custom LFO.
