Your Live Set. In your hands.

Clips

Play your set, clip by clip.

Launch clips and scenes from your tablet. See what’s playing across your Live Set and choose what comes next, in the studio or on stage.

Mixer

Your Live mixer. Built for touch.

Balance tracks, adjust pan and send audio to your return effects. A dedicated touch mixer keeps channel controls, return tracks and the master output together.

Macros

Shape your sound.

Bring the rack macros from your Live instruments and effects into one view, across multiple tracks. Keep the controls you use together close to hand.

Surface

Design the MIDI controller for how you play.

Choose your controls, arrange them into a layout and connect them to Live parameters or MIDI destinations. Build a surface around the instruments and effects you want to play.

Set

Access your tracks and devices.

Explore your Live Set from the tablet, from tracks and routing to device chains and individual parameters. Browse instruments and effects as you build or adjust your setup.

Play

Play your instruments.

A playing surface for the instruments in your Live Set. Choose keys or pads, customise the touch response and keep scales, chords and sound controls close as you play.

Loops

Change your loops as they play.

Move and resize clip loops across your tracks while the set plays. Repeat a shorter section, shift to another part of a clip or recall a loop you have prepared.

Repeat

Beat Repeat, ready to perform.

Turn Ableton Live’s Beat Repeat into a hands-on performance device. Play repetitions by touch or program them into the rhythm of your set, with an independent repeat on each track.

Harmony

Play chords with control over the voicing.

Play chords from a root note. Follow your scale or choose a chord shape, then adjust extensions and voicing from the panel beside your keys or pads.

STRIDE

Control repetition as you play.

Turn held notes into rhythmic repetitions. Change the rate, gate and swing in Play, or draw repeated notes directly into a MIDI clip with STRIDE in Edit Clip.

Pattern

See how your clips play together.

Follow MIDI notes and audio waveforms across several tracks in one view. Play parts, shape dynamics and draw rhythms in context, then open a clip when you want to work in detail.

Edit Clip

Edit your clips in detail.

Edit your Live clips from the tablet. Create and transform MIDI patterns, refine individual notes and shape envelopes. For audio clips, adjust timing, pitch and gain.

Snapshots

Save your settings. Control the transition.

Capture clip combinations, mixer settings, rack macros and Surface control values. Recall a saved state, or use Fade to move between continuous parameter values over time.

Motion

Record and replay control movements.

Record movements in Mixer, Macros and Surface, or draw automation directly in the editor.

Banks

Keep your setups organised.

Keep snapshot collections, page layouts and custom Surfaces in one library. Save the setups that work for you, recall them when you need them and reuse them in another project.
