Ableton’s Post

Interesting Updates looking forward

I'm thrilled to announce that Ableton has just unveiled Live 12 today, marking a significant milestone 22 years and 2 weeks since the debut of Live 1. As expected, this release brings a plethora of workflow enhancements and new devices that are sure to resonate with millions of listeners worldwide. That being said, two features in this release particularly stand out for me: 😎 Firstly, Live 12 has made a leap forward by making core workflows compatible with assistive technologies, such as screen readers. This development opens the door for visually impaired artists to craft music in Live, symbolizing a meaningful step towards accessibility in music production. 🎹 Secondly, the introduction of a 'tunings' function in Live 12 breaks new ground. Traditionally, most music has been confined to the well-tempered, 12-note-per-octave system, a perspective deeply rooted in Western musical traditions. Live 12 challenges this norm, offering a canvas for global musical expressions. Imagine an Indonesian producer tuning synthesizers to echo a gamelan orchestra or exploring the rich harmonic landscapes of Japanese or Middle Eastern music. This feature is not just an editing tool; it's a gateway to a world brimming with diverse musical possibilities. I'm excited for music creators to dive into these new features.

I’m thrilled to announce the upcoming release of Live 12! This is a huge upgrade, which everyone at Ableton has contributed tireless efforts and so much care, talent, and expertise to. - Slick new UI with stacked detail views and mixer in arrangement - Reworked browser with tags and sound similarity search - New devices Roar, Meld, Granulator III - Tuning systems - And more! https://lnkd.in/eUWdMDJc A special shoutout and thank you to my team for their exceptional work! - Make your own MIDI Tools (Transformations and Generators). This is a big deal! It’s the first time that Max exists outside of Live’s device view. Excited to see what the Max for Live community comes up with here!  - New Modulation Behavior. You can now freely adjust modulated parameters! Powered by the new live.modulate object, along with updates to the modulator devices (LFO et al), this will open up new possibilities for performance and more. - New objects live.map and live.routing, new objects for dictionaries, the Max editor UI can follow Live themes, and a long list of bug fixes!

If you're new to the Ableton Push 3, navigating the note mode can be quite confusing at first, especially for anyone trying to play basic chords. But fear not! You can learn two shapes that basically unlock all the chords! This is because the Push's chord shapes are isomorphic (great word, right?) That basically means we can play the same shapes anywhere on the 8x8 grid, and they'll sound fantastic. Don't believe me? Check out the video below to find out more. https://lnkd.in/edvy9SUY
