Ableton have announced their latest music making tool Live 10.
Featuring four new devices for their new and improved software, one of Live 10’s most notable highlights is that the programme will remember ideas and sounds even if the user doesn’t press record.
The creative tool will include a new built-in synthesiser called Wavetable. Introducing more digital and analogue textures, Echo is a device that’ll expand on their range of delay effects. Their Max for Live kit will now be built in, rather than be an add-on, and their latest drum processing device, Drum Buss, will allow users more effective control over the sound of their drums. Furthermore, Pedal will introduce analogue stomp boxes to the software.
The Berlin-based company have redesigned the sound library, which will be easier to automate and give users higher levels of precision. Artists will be able to put groups within groups, edit multiple MIDI clips and edit audio directly in the arrangement.
Live 10 can be experienced firsthand at community-hosted events worldwide, taking place in cities such as London (2-5 November), Bristol (16 November) and Berlin (8 November). Head here for the full list of events.
Live 10 will be released in early 2018. The software will be made available in three versions with Live Intro retailing at $79, Live Standard at $349 and Live Suite at $599. Head to their website for more info.
