My free M4L Stereo Filter Delay device for Ableton Live got a bit of love, I added -upon user request- the ability to mute the inputs and I decided it would be nice to have a dedicated Freeze function. There are a few more minor tweaks. It is here: roberthenke.com/technology/f... See less

Spent this afternoon setting up my 1980's 8 bit computers for the upcoming Monolake 8bit show at SuperBooth in May.First time in two years. Took me a while to get into it. But it is so much fun to play, and sounds very much out of this world! Find more information about it on my website.
