Prismat is a free Max for Live device for a problem every producer using slot-based or note-mapped instruments runs into: one track, driving many different sounds — a Drum Rack, a Kontakt keyswitch instrument, a random-sample kit — all bundled together with no way to treat them separately.

Prismat cuts a MIDI clip apart in three ways. Explode splits a clip into one track per pitch, duplicating the source instrument chain onto each. Split cuts an arrangement clip into per-event clips on each track, ready to bounce individually. Implode reverses the whole thing — collapses an arrangement back into one MIDI clip, useful as its own creative tool for triggering a random-sample kit.

Free, pay-what-you-want.

Prismat was pulled out of a larger instrument. Protoform fills a 16-slot kit with random draws from your own sample folders, then plays a MIDI clip through that kit and renders it back as per-slot audio stems, placed in your arrangement. The clip-splitting part turned out to be useful on its own, so it became this.
