Alessio Santini is the founder and lead developer of K-Devices. K-Devices specializes in music creation devices for Max for Live and iOS. Their slogan is "colorize your sound" and they focus on devices that have smart user interfaces, are easy to use, and have light CPU usage. Recently K-Device released their second batch of OOG, or Out of Grid, Max for Live devices. This series specializes in adding some variety and fluidity to your music and exploring rhythms that deviate from the musical time grid that so much music is bound to. On this episode of the Music Production Podcast, Alessio talked to me about the philosophy behind his programming, how the design and limitations of our instruments influence the music we make, and his background as a doom-metal guitarist. Listen on  iTunes or  Stitcher or  Google Play Show Notes: K-Devices - Max for Live and iOS devices created by Alessio and his team. Shaper - K-Devices first iOS app for audio effects. OOG Series - OOG stands for Out Of Grid. A collection of sequencers and tools for interesting timings. Blog - Keep up with news on K-Devices Kenter - Alessio's new EP. Love the guitar and drum work here! Elli - Alessio's record label. Thank you for listening. Please visit my site AfroDJMac for music production tutorials, videos, and Ableton Live devices. Brian

#69: Alessio Santini - Found of K-Devices, Max for Live and iOS Music Tools

I'm a fan of the K-Devices products - and one in particular. Holder, a simple little spectral hold function, ends up in almost every Live set that I work on. It's focused, efficient and easy-to-understand - all the hallmarks of an excellent devices. So when PR Master Marsha Vdovin checked in on a possible interview, I was all over it! It turns out that K-Devices' mastermind - Alessio Santini - is as cool as his devices. He's got a great story (I've not met many people that move from a Doom Metal obsession to making synths!), and a long history in sound design. But his background is also one that will be familiar to many: when he found a passion, he dropped everything to pursue it. The result is making a life that is personal and complete: a story that is worth hearing. I really enjoyed talking to Alessio, and was interested in his development concepts, his moves into iOS development, and his own work on an upcoming musical release. Oh, and the fact that he uses Holder on almost all of his Live sets told me that we had a lot in common! Check out the K-Devices products in the Packs section of ableton.com, or at their website: http://k-devices.com/ Enjoy!
