Recursive Creative Systems

Control is the one that listens.

Recursive Creative Control is the orchestrator. It sits beside Live as a conversation and a device, hears what you hear, plans in the open, works through the instruments, and checks the set before it says a word is done.

01The flow, every time

Read, plan, listen, measure, make, tone, report.

Ask for a sound. It reads up on the record and the gear, writes a plan you can see, and asks to listen to the exact thing before it touches the set.

What it knows on paper and what it heard in your room are kept apart and both are said. Then it makes what is missing with Quick or Deep, sets the tone from a measurement, and reports where everything landed, from the set, not from memory.

02Your say-so
asks first

Tempo. Deleting. Playback.

Each needs your word. “Count me in” counts as yes to play. Nothing fires a clip you did not ask for.

policy

Ask, auto, or off.

For automatic changes such as tone and proposals from the instruments, you choose the policy once and change it any time.

one key back

Every turn is one undo step.

A whole tone, a whole placement, a whole scene comes back with one press in Live.

checked

Done means it looked.

After anything that changes the set it observes Live again and compares. If the take is not where it said, it says so.

04Where it runs

Beside Live, on your machine.

Control installs with a Remote Script for Live 12, a conversation in your browser, and a small service the instruments report into. Quick can run on your own graphics card or on our cloud; Deep runs on our cloud and is metered per song.
