Trigger, resequence and remix your music in real time. You can even use it to connect Live to lights, cameras, sensors, surround sound setups and more. Or use it to customize devices, build your own and even hack how Live works. Load one of its many built-in sound generators, and audio and MIDI effects to expand your sound. Max for Live is a software platform that powers a range of Live’s instruments and effects. The software also includes auto-mappings for a growing number of MIDI controllers for instant results. Map knobs, faders and buttons to nearly any controller to get hands on control of almost every parameter in Live. Live comes with everything you need, but adapts to your unique needs.

Curated Collections are toolkits of curated sounds from selected scenes designed to be shaped into something new. Live’s Core Library comes with every edition of the software and includes vintage synths, analog drum machines, keys, multi-sampled drums, and much more. Included MIDI effects let you creatively manipulate your notes, while audio effects help you clean up your mix or make a creative mess. A pair of sampling devices help you squeeze the most out of your drum samples and multisampled instruments with built-in slicing, warping and more.

Live’s synthesizers deliver a vast range of sound using wavetable, FM, and analog- and physical modeling architectures. Or record an arrangement directly from the Session View and improvise a finished composition. The Arrangement View is where you organize music along a timeline and build sections of your song. Session View lets you sketch ideas lightning fast – play, mix, and match MIDI and audio loops of different lengths and tempos without ever stopping the music. No matter how you like to begin, Live helps you get the music in your head out of your speakers. And with Push, Ableton’s instrument built specifically for Live, you get all the functionality of software with the immediacy of hardware. And since the software keeps everything in time, Live is also perfect for on-stage improvisation and hands-on play-customize the software to fit your performance, not the other way around. Use Live’s native devices as the foundation of sound design or mold and shape a range of carefully curated Packs into something new. Live’s effects, instruments, sounds and creative features let you make music only limited by your imagination. Capture MIDI notes after you’ve played them, turning your most spontaneous ideas (and happy accidents) into music. Record virtual instruments, drum machines, guitars or audio from the real world. Advanced warping lets you change the tempo and timing of any audio in real time without stopping the music. Use its timeline-based workflow or improvise without constraints in Live’s Session View.

Live is fast, fluid software for music creation and performance.
