Pitch Path is a Max for Live device that seeks to decouple pitch from rhythm. It does this by giving you a tool to draw a continuous Pitch Path and define the duration that the path should loop.

By feeding it rhythms of MIDI notes, Pitch Path will adjust the pitch of each note, either Absolute between a min/max or relative, shifting the note some number of semitones or scale degrees by an amount you specify.

I strive to be like the first UNIX command developers, discovering new primitive helpers that can lead to new or easier outcomes. I dislike randomness and instead favor control of deterministic and complex systems.
