Ableton Live Standard

About

Ableton Live 12 is a music creation software for Mac, presented on the website as a way to find your own way of making music. The page highlights new MIDI features, including MIDI Transformations that reshape clips with variations such as ornaments, articulations, and strum effects, and MIDI Generators that create melodies, chords, and rhythms from constraints you set. It also describes Keys and Scales for working within a chosen scale, tuning systems beyond 12-tone equal temperament, and improved MIDI note editing.

Live 12 includes new instruments and effects. Meld is an MPE-capable synthesizer with two oscillators and a modulation matrix. Roar is a saturation and coloring device with multiband, serial, and parallel configurations. Granulator III, a granular synthesizer, adds expressive note control and real-time audio capture. The page also mentions the Lost and Found pack of multi-sampled instruments, Drum Racks, and samples. Max for Live devices are also referenced for extending MIDI work.

The website notes that Live 12.4 is a free update for all Live 12 users that adds Link Audio and updated devices. It also mentions a rent-to-own option paid over 24 monthly payments for Live Suite.
