It provides up to 32 pairs of hands to simulate anything from a lone clapper to a large group of people. There are additional parameters that control stereo position, velocity, playback speed, and attack, allowing for fine control over timbre and character. To top things off, you&#8217;re greeted with different philosophical quotes if you hover over each of the four parameters.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"562\" height=\"200\" data-src=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/image5.gif\" alt=\"palmas-max-for-live\" class=\"wp-image-3892 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 562px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 562\/200;\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <a href=\"http:\/\/maxforlive.com\/library\/device\/1628\/vizzable\"><strong>VIZZable 2<\/strong><\/a> (video effect)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>VIZZable 2 is an incredibly fun video effect that will transform live video from your webcam into mesmerizing patterns.
