Live 12.1 Out Now

Free for all Live 12 users, this update brings major additions and improvements to all editions of Live, including Live Lite.

Auto Shift – real-time pitch tracking and correction device
Live 12.1 now allows for native, real-time pitch correction with Auto Shift. Use scales to keep every note in tune with your track, create harmonies from monophonic signals using MIDI sidechain, and add vibrato and modulation to your sound using MPE or the device’s LFO.

Drum Sampler – compact one-shot sampler with built-in effects
This flexible device pairs essential sampling controls with effects such as 8-Bit, time stretch, ring modulation, FM, pitch envelope, and punch: giving you a faster way to flip, mangle and fine-tune your beats.

Auto-tagging for all your samples
Searching your library is faster with Live 12’s filters – and now there’s no need to tag the samples yourself. Live 12.1 automatically assigns new tags to any sample in your library under 60 seconds long, and VST3 plugins will also be assigned tags based on metadata.

Improved Limiter and Saturator
Limiter gets a complete overhaul – with a smoother release curve to reduce distortion, updated metering, and the addition of Mid/Side routing, True Peak, Soft Clip, and Maximize modes. Saturator sees the addition of a Bass Shaper curve ideal for low-end processing, as well as a more focused UI.

MIDI editing improvements
You can now use the MIDI Editor’s toolbar to filter and select notes by time, pitch, velocity, chance, duration, and several other properties. Live 12.1 also introduces two new MPE-specific MIDI Transformations – Glissando and LFO – allowing you to create curves for the MPE parameters of selected notes.

Create more intuitively on Push
Live 12.1 comes with a host of updates to Push. Design sounds with more detail and control with Push 2 and 3 using Macro Variations, and add instant groove to all MIDI clips in your Set with a single twist of an encoder on Push 3.

The new update brings Live 12’s filtering system to the browser on Push 2 and 3, as well as auto-tagging for samples on Push 3 standalone. Plus, you can now save Default Sets and Template Sets on Push 2 and 3, and organize your Sets by moving tracks and scenes.

MIDI Tools by Philip Meyer
This Pack of MIDI Generators and Transformations from Max for Live developer Philip Meyer opens up myriad rhythmic and melodic possibilities.

Sequencers by Ableton
This Pack of sequencers from Ableton instrument designers Marco Tonni and Christian Kleine incorporates creative new approaches to step sequencing with fundamental features inspired by hardware systems and classic Live devices.

*Please note that both the MIDI Tools and Sequencers Packs are only available for users of Live 12.1 Suite or Live 12.1 Standard with Max for Live.

Ableton Live is fast, fluid and flexible DAW software for music creation and performance. It comes with all kinds of effects, instruments, sounds and creative tools – everything you need to make any kind of music.

Ableton Live 12 Standard delivers the full features of Live 12 including 13 instruments, 42 Audio and 13 MIDI effects, 12 MIDI Tools and a huge 38+GB of loops and samples

Use Live’s linear Arrangement View to sequence your music, or the Session View to improvise and try out ideas without the constraints of a timeline. Change the tempo and timing of any audio in real time without stopping the music thanks to Live’s warping. Record MIDI or real-world instruments, vocals or other audio, using Live’s creative features to perfect your performance, spark new ideas, or turn spontaneous moments into music. Use MIDI Transformations to add variations to your patterns, or MIDI Generators to create new ideas that you can turn into your own. And find presets and sounds comparable to the ones you’re working on with Sound Similarity.

Build your sound with Live’s rich range of instruments and effects, or shape a diverse collection of curated Packs into something new. And since the software lets you do everything in real time and is endlessly customizable, it's perfect for live performance and hands-on play, whatever your setup.

And finally there’s Push: an expressive hardware instrument that gives you independence from your computer so you can be fully in the moment with your music.

What's new in Live 12?

MIDI Transformations and Generators: use MIDI Transformations to add ornaments and articulations, draw acceleration and deceleration curves, connect successive notes and chords, and simulate the strum of a guitar. Take advantage of MIDI Generators that let you conjure up playful and original ideas for you to develop and turn into your own. And go even further with advanced Max for Live Transformations and Generators.
Sound Similarity: start with a sample and tell Live’s browser to find comparable sounds and instrument or drum presets – with the help of a set of advanced machine learning algorithms. Or use Sound Similarity to find and swap comparable samples in Simpler or Drum Rack.
Tuning systems: work outside 12-tone equal temperament, and use your chosen tuning with Live’s devices as well as any MPE-capable plugin or hardware. 
Keys and Scales: transform or generate ideas within the confines of the selected scale, or sync the scale of MIDI devices to the clip being played.
New devices: create everything from subtle and precise mastering-grade warmth to wild and unpredictable sound degradation with Roar, Live’s new saturation and colouring effect. Explore new textures and timbres with the twin sound engines of Meld. Or get even more expressive with the latest iteration of Robert Henke’s granular synthesis device, Granulator III.
MIDI Editor improvements: use your keyboard and mouse to edit MIDI in new ways. Split a note in two, or chop it into several parts. Select a set of notes and join them together, or make them fill a selected time range. Get access to more tools from the Note Utilities panel, like Fit Scale, Humanize, Add Intervals, and more.
Workflow improvements: stack Live’s Clip and Device Views to see more of what’s going on in your track at a glance. Use Live’s Mixer in Arrangement View to get more information and control without moving to Session View and breaking the flow. Discover new sounds and find them again more easily with the Browser’s new tagging system and search history. And freeze and flatten a track in just one step.
Accessibility and navigation improvements: visually impaired musicians can now access core workflows in Live with screen readers and other assistive technologies, and use new keyboard shortcuts to navigate to nearly every part of Live.
New Packs: find new tricks for performing on the fly with the four Max for Live devices of Performance Pack, explore unlikely instruments and unique foley recordings with the Lost and Found collection, and get your hands on authentic hip-hop and trap beats with two drum Packs from Sound Oracle.
