Ableton Live is n’t the only music making software out there , but it ’s the weapon of option for legions of producer because it ’s so all-fired intuitive . Today , Ableton spilled the details on a fresh version , Live 9 , and just as important , a homegrown ironware restrainer for the software program , calledAbleton Push .
There are already some 30 restrainer project specifically to work with Live , but Push is the first piece of computer hardware altogether designed by Ableton . If the company really nailed the integration between the computer hardware and software program , the peter could be a secret plan changer . And do n’t vex about the build caliber or engineering , because Ableton turned that part over to Akai , the fellowship that created the original MPC , along with the Ableton - friendly APC40 .
Push is designed to be an all - in - one music production resolution , which permit you to work and sequence your beatniks from starting time to finish . recreate and sequencing centers around 64 RGB - color , speed and force per unit area sore pads . you may then use the comptroller ’s other tools to fine - tune the paramaters of your sounds .
So far , this probably sounds intimate to people who ’ve used controller before . But Push has some additional feature you wo n’t find anywhere else . We ’re in particular excited about the special simplified workflow that ’s designed for improvising with birdsong structure . More than just a controller , Ableton build Push to be an musical instrument as well . Using some clever purpose slickness , Ableton managed to “ shut down ” the 88 keys of of a keyboard onto Push ’s 64 pads so that you may play chord and air . get-up-and-go press just 6.6 pounds so it ’s light enough to throw in a backpack .
As for Live 9 it adds some granular editing features that will satisfy even the nerdiest beatsmiths . First up is more sophisticated MIDI instrument . For example , Live 9 will now be able to transform audio clips into editable midi tracks . The new parcel also admit an improved graphical balance , as well as 3500 new sound to ramp up beat out of , because why the hell not ? There are a ton of features here — check out outCreate Digital Music ’s overview for more details , if you ’re concerned .
Ableton Live 9 will come out beta examination next week , and it ’ll be available in Intro , Standard , and Suite versions for $ 100/$450/$750 when it ’s done . Ableton Push will be bundle with the lively 9 Intro for $ 600 . All of the product will be released in early 2013 , and we just ca n’t wait . [ AbletonviaCreate Digital Music ]
