What Ableton Live 12 Suite Is For

Live 12 Suite is a benchmark digital audio workstation for modern production: songwriting, audio/MIDI recording, sound design, remixing, live performance, stage installation, or hybrid DJing. Harmony tools like "keys and scales," MPE compatibility, and fluid editing speed up writing, while instruments/effects and Max for Live open the door to unique textures and custom devices.

Main Features

Seamless Creation

Instantly switch between Session View to capture loops, trigger Clips/Scenes, and improvise, and Arrangement View to structure your timeline. The "Capture" function remembers your spontaneous MIDI ideas even without armed recording.

Next-Generation MIDI Composition and Performance

The 14 MIDI Transformers provide variations, arpeggios, strummings, and intelligent recombinations. Note/velocity probabilities introduce controlled movement. Parallel editing of linked tracks and comping facilitate the perfect take.

Advanced Audio and Time-Stretching

Elastic and musical, real-time time-stretching and complex warp modes preserve quality. Convert audio to MIDI, slice a break into Drum Rack/Sampler, and change pitch contextually, all synced to the project tempo.

Instruments, Effects, and Ecosystem

Enjoy a comprehensive instrument collection (Meld, Granulator III, Wavetable, Operator, Analogue, Sampler, Electric, Tension, Collision, Bass, Poli, Drum Rack, Drum Synths, Impulse, CV Instrument/Triggers...) supported by 58 audio effects and 14 MIDI effects, plus Max for Live to create your own devices and automate your setup.

Stage Integration and Accessibility

Extended MIDI mapping, support for common controllers and Serato Scratch Live, automatic tempo adjustment to incoming signals, tempo-synced preview. Screen reader included for enhanced accessibility.
