Collider  v1.0.0

MIDI in Motion
Turn a single played note into evolving rhythms, melodies, and generative patterns.
Collider is a playable MIDI effect where bouncing balls generate notes, chords, and sequences in real time.

Thank you for downloading Collider.

Collider is a MIDI generator/effect. It does not produce audio by itself.
The standalone app needs a MIDI output selected in Collider for the DAW to receive the MIDI.

If you are installing an update, it is recommended that you close your DAW, and delete the previous version in your VST3 folder, then restart the DAW in a new project empty project. Then install the new Collider version and rescan for new plugins. If this sequence is not done, the DAW may keep the older version in its internal memory system. To rescan in Ableton Live go to Top left Live/Settings/Plugins. In Logic go to Logic/Settings/Manage Plugins (but this is automatic done when restarting Logic).

How to use Collider in a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW)

For more complete instructions with images, please visit zapdesign.googliest.com/collider.html

In Ableton Live:
Use the Collider VST3 plugin, or use Collider Standalone with IAC Driver routing.

In Traction Waveform 13:
Create a MIDI track, insert Collider first, then insert a MIDI Instrument after it on the same track.

In Other DAWs:
Use the VST3 plugin if your DAW supports MIDI effect routing. If the plugin does not route MIDI correctly in your DAW, use Collider Standalone with a virtual MIDI bus. Please advise use us of your successful use in other DAWs so we can update this page.

Logic Pro setup:

Use Collider Standalone with the macOS IAC Driver.

1. Open Audio MIDI Setup.
2. Choose Window > Show MIDI Studio.
3. Double-click IAC Driver.
4. Enable “Device is online.”
5. Create or enable an IAC bus, such as “IAC Driver Bus 1.”
6. Open Collider Standalone.
7. Set MIDI Output to IAC Driver Bus 1.
8. In Logic, create a Software Instrument track.
9. Use the IAC input as the MIDI source feeding your instrument. This should be automatic.


Ableton Live VST3 setup:

1. Create a MIDI track and add Collider VST3 as the track instrument, even though it will not produce audio, it will produce a new midi out signal. Set "Monitor" to IN or Auto. Arm this track for recording to receive your Midi keyboard signal by turning on the red button at the bottom of the track.
2. Create a second MIDI track with the instrument of your choosing.
3. Set the second track’s "MIDI from" to the Collider track. Also set the line below this to Collider
4. Set "Monitor" to IN to capture the Collider midi output. If playing back a recorded Midi file on this track, set it to Auto, to here the recording.
