This page brings together a selection of tools, proofs of concept and prototypes resulting from Structure Void’s research and development work — concrete outcomes of our experimental practice. Our full catalogue of tools is available on Gumroad

VOID Shared Memory is a set of tools enabling real-time data exchange between Ableton Live / Max / Max for Live and TouchDesigner, using ultra-light, low-latency shared memory. Parameters, envelopes, triggers or arbitrary values can flow in both directions, without MIDI, without OSC, without network communication, and without complex configuration. The system is designed for fluid and stable control of performative audiovisual systems, installations, live sets or experimental prototypes. This package includes ready-to-use Max for Live devices, as well as Max externals and TouchDesigner operators, conceived as robust, reusable R&D building blocks.

This book provides a deep and practical introduction to Max and Max for Live, covering everything from fundamental concepts to the design of advanced instruments, MIDI tools and audio effects integrated into Ableton Live. It explores patching, JavaScript and the Live Object Model to build generative, interactive and highly customized systems. Drawing on more than 15 years of practice and teaching, it is conceived as a hands-on reference for artists, musicians and creators seeking to turn Live into a true experimental laboratory.
Book
This Videoplayer Max for Live device allows videos to be played and displayed inside Ableton Live, in an external window, by simply triggering MIDI clips. It also includes a set of effects that make it easy to add a visual dimension to sound or musical performances without leaving Ableton Live.
