22.7.3 Upgrading from Legacy Mode
Compressor’s internal algorithms were updated in Live 9, in collaboration with Dr. Joshua D.
Reiss of the Centre for Digital Music, Queen Mary University of London.
Live Sets that use Compressor and which were made in earlier versions of Live will show an Up-
grade button in the title bar of each instance of Compressor when loading the Set in Live 9. Press
the Upgrade button in order to upgrade that Compressor instance to the latest, improved algo-
rithms. Note that this may cause your Set to sound different.
22.8 Corpus
The Corpus Effect.
Corpus is an effect that simulates the acoustic characteristics of seven types of resonant objects.
Developed in collaboration with Applied Acoustics Systems, Corpus uses physical modelling
technology to provide a wide range of parameters and modulation options.
The full version of Corpus is not included with the standard version of Live, but is bundled with
the Collision instrument (page 386) as a special feature available for purchase separately.
The frequency and/or decay rate of the resonance can be MIDI modulated, by enabling the
Frequency and/or Off Decay switches in the Sidechain section. Toggle the button in Corpus’s
title bar to access Sidechain parameters. The MIDI From choosers allow you to select the MIDI
track and tapping point from which to receive MIDI note information.
With Frequency enabled, the tuning of the resonance is determined by the incoming MIDI note.
If multiple notes are held simultaneously, the Last/Low switch determines whether the last or the
