It supports MIDI Polyphonic Expression – MPE – which means it’s both possible to edit expression per note with the mouse, and to control instruments (and effects) with expressive devices like the Sensel Morph or Linnstrument. There are loads of creative new devices, including wild granular and spectral and pitch shift devices. Tempo can follow audio signal, for freer playing. Racks finally let you save Macro states, and use 16 macros and not only 8. Linking tracks makes it easier to edit more than one track at the same time. (I was going to say “more sense,” but I won’t mince words here.) Also, they work in Scenes – at last.ĬPU metering is actually useful and works per-track.
YMMV.)Ĭlips are far more powerful – easier to view, easier to edit multiple loops at once, and add features like probability and randomization.įollow actions now make sense. I wouldn’t do it with paid work on tight deadlines. (Please be aware, if you do that, too, be ready to report bugs and keep backups of files. Why? Because in the end, we find features in the beta that we don’t want to give up. By the time that software becomes public, what you’ll find is that beta users are almost all using the beta builds for their work – even their essential work.Ībleton of course have screaming notices telling you not to use pre-release Live software for your day job, because it may not be stable. Now, beta testers are usually closer to the company (as certified trainers, for instance), but very often the beta users are disappointed with releases in early builds. This is not just my perspective you can watch it happen with beta testers. So I find that Live updates normally get some disappointment at first … until people dig in and find out what actually changed. What you do get is a lot of small changes bundled into big updates, and a lot of additions that had been requested a long time, but implemented with real care. But it does mean that you don’t always get constant updates packed with features or radical changes. The upside of that is, it’s very rare they’ll touch stuff you like. There’s a sort of a cycle that happens with Ableton Live updates.
Wait, no, this is actually a huge upgrade. It may not seem radical at first, but it does three things enthusiasts may appreciate – it gives you stuff you asked for, it’s more creative to work with, and it’s got some serious nerd candy.
