Ableton — Softprober
Lena laughs. "We broke the lock. Now they just listen to each other." The best integration between SoftProber and Ableton isn't perfect MIDI sync — it's asymmetric audio reactivity . Send CV-like tones, LFOs, or even a side-chained noise burst from Ableton into SoftProber's audio input, and you get organic, human, glitchy visuals that feel alive.
SoftProber doesn't just pulse to the beat. It twitches, breathes, fractures in ways that follow the micro-timing of Markus's hi-hats but also drifts when the sine wave’s phase shifts. The 3D projections on the venue’s brutalist columns start telling a different story — not a rigid BPM-locked light show, but a living, hallucinatory shadow. softprober ableton
They play the set. No click track in their IEMs. Instead, Lena "plays" SoftProber like an instrument — mapping its parameters to an old Korg nanoKontrol. Markus listens with his eyes, Lena listens with her faders. Halfway through, the crowd gasps as the projection of a face tracks a vocal glitch and smiles back . Lena laughs
, a fan asks: "How do you get SoftProber and Ableton to lock so tight?" Send CV-like tones, LFOs, or even a side-chained
Since there isn't a widely known single "story" about these two together, here's a plausible good story — one that blends technical accident, creative discovery, and live performance magic. Berlin, 3 AM, backstage before a sold-out AV live set.
