I'm Craig Snyder, and together with my friend Loudon Stearns, we are Wind Makes Waves LLC. 

​

Our journey began at Berklee College of Music. I was studying under Loudon in a course he authored which explores DSP using Ableton Live. Conversations that started as coursework ultimately extended beyond the semester’s end, evolving into a collaborative effort to develop tools for music production.

 

One of the first questions that I asked Loudon at the start of the course was whether polyphonic modulation was possible using Ableton's Max for Live Modulation Devices. The answer at the time was, "Not really... or at least, not easily." 

 

Fast forward to today, we're releasing a polyphonic Max for Live Modulation Device called MPE Envelope - a direct result of our ongoing exploration and problem-solving in music technology. 

 

We’re also releasing Swing - a free MIDI Transformer created to address a common community request for a no-nonsense way to apply the perfect amount of swing to your MIDI notes. 

 

While these two Max for Live devices mark our company's debut, they are just the beginning. A flagship project, which was conceived from those same Berklee discussions and later became the inspiration for our company's very name, is slated to launch early 2025. So watch this space! Big things are coming.
