Ableton stellt die siebte Version seines Sequencing-Instruments Live vor. Die Audio Engine wurde verbessert, sie beherrscht jetzt 64-Bit-Summierung. Außerdem gibt es neue Geräte, Verbesserungen an alten, besseres MIDI-Timing sowie Hardware-Integration. Mit Time Signature Change sollen Geschwindigkeits- und Taktänderungen innerhalb eines Musikstücks möglich sein. Auch Videoexport ist als Bestandteil angekündigt. Ebenfalls neu ist das „Drum Rack", welches die Drum-Produktion über ein Drag&Drop-System löst und Audio-Samples sowie REX-Daten liest.

Ableton stellt neben Live 7 auch neue Instrumente und Soundlibraries vor: Der Tension ist ein Physical-Modeling-Synthesizer, der Saiteninstrumente nachstellt. Auch der Electric arbeitet mit der Physical-Modeling-Synthese und stellt Klänge von elektrischen Pianos nach. Das dritte neue Instrument ist der Analog. Er emuliert die Schaltkreise und Anpassungsfähigkeit von Vintage-Synths. Alle drei wurden in Zusammenarbeit mit Applied Acoustics Systems (AAS) entwickelt.



Die Soundlibraries erstrecken sich von Drums bis hin zu orchestralen Samples. Session Drums bietet Multisamples von akustischen Schlaginstrumenten. Drum Machines stellt Ihnen klassische Drumcomputer wie die 808, 909 oder den Oberheim DMX zur Verfügung. Ableton hat den original Drummachines auch neue Effekte und Makro-Kontrollen hinzugefügt. Essential Intrument Collection 2 vereint, wie auch die erste Ausgabe, eine Auswahl an akustischen und elektrischen Pianos, Gitarren, Bässen, orchestralen Instrumenten und mehr. Neu darin sind akustische und elektronisch erzeugte Drums. Weiterhin haben die Programmierer sich darauf konzentriert, die Presets auf bessere Soundqualität und kürzere Ladezeiten zu trimmen.

Dem Orchester ganz speziell widmen sich die Sammlungen Orchestral Strings, Brass, Woodwinds und Percussion. Die Streicher- und Bläser-Bibliotheken bieten Soloinstrumente sowie Ensemblespiel, alles in verschiedenen Artikulationen. Die Orchestral-Percussion enthalten Vibraphon, Xylophon, Glockenspiel, Timpani und vieles anderes, natürlich ebenfalls in verschiedenen Artikulationen.

Die Ableton Live Suite enthält in der Download-Version Live 7, den Sampler, den Operator, Electric, Analog, Tension und Drum Machines. Der Boxed-Edition liegt zusätzlich die Essential Instrument Collection 2 und Session Drums bei. Live 7, alle neuen Instrumente und Libraries sowie die Ableton Suite erscheinen innerhalb des vierten Quartals 2007.

Live 7—What's New
Ableton Live 7 renews the core of Live, with enhancements to the audio engine including 64-bit mix summing, new and improved devices with side-chaining capability, better MIDI timing and hardware integration. We have also included the most-requested features, such as time signature changes, video export, multiple automation lanes and much more. Version 7 marks the arrival of the new "Drum Rack" which streamlines beat production via an easy drag-and-drop interface and offers native sliced audio and REX file support, bringing endless creative possibilities to beat lovers.


Enhanced Audio EngineLive 7's enhanced audio engine improves fidelity with precision 64-bit summing at all mix points throughout the program, POW-r dithering, optimized sample-rate conversion and other advances.

The new compressor device integrates the compression models of Compressor I and II, and offers a new model based on a feedback design commonly found in the most praised vintage compressors. The new sidechaining feature allows other audio signals to trigger the compressor.

The sidechaining feature in Auto Filter allows another audio signal to modulate the filter's envelope follower and trigger the gate in the Gate device.

Device High-Quality ModesOperator, Dynamic Tube and Saturator now feature optional High-Quality modes for anti-aliased processing, reducing typical "digital" artifacts.

The new Spectrum device is an analyzer that provides real-time visual feedback for any audio signals within Live. Spectrum's analysis window can be enlarged for more detail and shows note names as well as frequency and amplitude.

Improved MIDI TimingThe MIDI engine has been reworked and we were able to significantly reduce timing error (jitter) of recorded MIDI.


The External Instrument device handles MIDI and audio routing and can be used to streamline the Audio Engine Fact SheetThe Audio Engine Fact Sheet explains exactly how signals are (or are not) being modified when performing fundamental audio operations in Live, and provides tips for achieving the highest quality results.

routing of hardware synths, multi-timbral plugins and ReWire devices. The External Audio Effect device routes audio to and from user-specified ports of your audio hardware, which allows you to insert hardware effects boxes into a track's device chain. Both devices automatically compensate for any latencies introduced by audio and MIDI interfaces.

Enhanced Memory ManagementNew memory management technology allows users of large sample libraries, such as Ableton's new sampled instruments or third-party libraries imported via Sampler, to run an impressive number of instruments at the same time. This happens automatically, with no setup changes required.


MIDI Engine Fact SheetThe MIDI Engine Fact Sheet documents MIDI timing tests on both Windows and Mac platforms using various MIDI interfaces and describes exactly what users can expect in terms of MIDI timing accuracy. Coming Soon.

Time Signature Changes
In the Arrangement View, time signature changes are represented by markers at the top of the scrub area. Time signature changes can be added from the Insert menu or via the context menu.

In the Session View, scene names can trigger time signature changes in addition to tempo changes. When launching scenes in the Session View, time signature changes can be recorded into the Arrangement.


Video Export
Video that has been edited or warped in Live can be exported to a new file.



Easier Automation

Each automated parameter can be shown in its own automation lane. Automation lanes can be reordered via drag and drop.


REX Support
REX files can be dragged, dropped and played just like WAV or AIFF files.



Tempo Nudge

The tempo nudge temporarily speeds up or slows down the tempo for easier synchronization. This feature can be mapped to any MIDI controller.



Introducing the New Drum Rack
The new "Drum Rack" streamlines beat production via an easy drag-and-drop interface and brings endless creative possibilities.

Analog emulates the unique circuitry and irresistible tweakability of vintage analog synthesizers. Analog is a creative workhorse that features versatile alias-free oscillators, multimode filters, syncable LFOs, looping envelope generators and much more. Able to produce everything from silky pad sweeps to earth-shaking bass, Analog is also completely integrated into Ableton Live's familiar interface.


Analog: Warm Fuzzy Monster
Analog recreates the sounds of analog synths. Analog was created in collaboration with Applied Acoustics Systems (AAS) and is based on the same advanced physical modeling synthesis technology found in their Ultra Analog instrument. Physical modeling synthesis uses complex mathematics to reproduce the behavior of the individual components of an instrument in real time. Analog models the individual analog circuits—oscillators, filters, LFOs—found in a variety of legendary synthesizers. Analog integrates perfectly into Ableton Live's workflow and brings analog synthesis to Live users.

Key Features

• Integrated perfectly into Live's workflow and intuitive user interface.
• Expertly programmed presets covering a range of vintage analog synthesizer sounds and entirely new analog creations.
• Physical modeling synthesis allows real-time tweaking and customization of Analogs's individual analog modules and parameters:
  • Two alias-free oscillators featuring sine, square, saw, white noise and a sub oscillator. The oscillators also feature a hard sync function and are capable of pulse width modulation when using the square waveform. Each oscillator also has an integrated pitch envelope.
  • Two multimode filters with 2- and 4-pole lowpass, highpass, bandpass, notch and formant modes. The filters feature flexible routing, allowing them to function in parallel or in series. A Drive chooser allows for various types of saturation for each filter's output.
  • Each filter is fed to a discrete Amp module, featuring Level and Pan controls.
  • A dedicated Noise module generates white noise and has a Color knob that varies the cutoff frequency of a built-in lowpass filter. The F1/F2 knob controls the amount of noise that is sent to the Filter 1 and Filter 2 modules.
  • The LFO module can modulate the Oscillator, Filter and Amplifier modules. The LFOs have triangle and square waveforms with pulse width control, sine and two random waveforms, each with retrigger, rate, offset, delay and attack parameters.
  • Envelope modules are included for each Filter and Amp module. Featuring ADSR envelopes with linear and exponential shapes as well as free-run, legato and looping modes.
• Many parameters can be modulated via key tracking and velocity for expressive, dynamic playing.
