Inspired by Nature is a playful collection of visual Max for Live devices created in collaboration with Dillon Bastan. Produce generative soundscapes, unpredictable melodies and evolving modulations with devices inspired by physical forces and the natural world.
Voice Box invites you to get inventive with vocals. This Pack features a comprehensive collection of contemporary vocal samples from multiple voices, a set of playable vocal instruments, and Effect Racks designed for vocal processing. The human voice is the original musical instrument, and through sampling and audio processing we can use it in even more creative ways – from chopped and repitched hooks to inhuman arpeggios and experimental glitches and jitters. Voice Box contains both the vocals and the means to transform them.
Set the scene with a collection of sounds for making music with a modern narrative feel. Evocative layered instruments combine organic and synthetic sounds with textural elements to add mood, space and movement to productions. Developed by Ableton, with contributions from sound designers including SonArte, Comakid, Aimée Portioli, Arovane and John Valasis, this Pack strikes a balance between delicate and dramatic to inspire compelling moodscaping and sonic storytelling. Designed to invoke different spaces and settings, these cinematic sounds can create a feeling of intimacy, add tension and suspense, or suffuse productions with movement. Drive tracks into the darkness with creepy experimental noises and tense rhythms, or foster a feeling of wonder with shimmering synths.
Microtuner by Ableton is a MIDI device that lets you import, edit, and generate microtonal scales. Load scale files, create custom scales, and morph between tunings in real time – all with polyphony, MPE, and Lead/Follow modes to sync your scales across instruments.

Make energetic, release-ready EDM using Ableton Live 12. This course gives you a clear, practical path from a blank project to a finished track—without expensive third-party plug-ins. We start by setting up Live for speed (preferences, audio/MIDI, templates), then jump straight into Drum Rack, the Groove Pool, and smart velocity to build punchy rhythms. You’ll craft basslines with Wavetable, Operator, and MIDI tools, and learn when to layer subs and mid-bass for body and bite. You’ll master Warp modes to lock external loops to tempo, slice audio into MIDI for creative re-arrangements, and design leads and pads with Instrument Racks and Macro controls. Next, we shape the song: Locators, arrangement strategies, tension and release, build-ups, breakdowns, and drops that land with impact. To keep your mix clean, you’ll apply EQ Eight, Compressor/Glue, Saturator, Utility, and Auto Filter, plus the essential sidechain setup (including ghost-kick options) so the kick and bass breathe together.
