Ableton is proud to release Live 6. Like no other
Ableton release, Live 6 has opened itself to new
creative communities.offering Quicktime video
support, a professional multisample library, and
customizable racks of instruments and effects. Live 6
also satisfies frequent user requests by delivering
multicore support, enhanced project management tools,
and improved MIDI control.
"Live 6 upholds Ableton's tradition of responding to
and respecting our vocal user base while maintaining
our vision for the program," says Ableton CEO and co-
founder Gerhard Behles. "The results are
exciting.Live 6 is our most versatile and powerful
version to date. We also spent significant
development resources on workflow improvements to
make sure Live continues to feel good as the
functionality grows."
With Quicktime video support, Live enters the world
of post-production. Drag and drop movies directly
into Live's Arrangement View, and monitor the result
on a video window or second screen. Then, align music
to visuals, and process the movie's audio signal
within Live. It has never been easier to improvise,
compose and warp music to picture.
The Essential Instrument Collection provides Live 6
users with a comprehensive library of multisampled
instruments. The included instruments cover the
entire musical spectrum, from orchestral strings and
brasses, to classic guitars and electric keyboards,
to instruments like the harp and the glockenspiel.
Load and play the collection in Live's Simpler, or in
Sampler.Ableton's new optional multi-sample
instrument.
Instrument and Effect Racks offer a new level of
depth to Live without sacrificing accessibility. Use
Racks to create, save, and control customized
groupings of multiple instruments, effects and plug-
ins. Then distribute your creations online. Use the
Rack's included knobs to adjust any number of
parameters with a single knob or fader. Live 6 comes
with many preconfigured racks with both instruments
and common processing tools like guitar and bass
distortion, drum processing, and mastering.
Live 6 also features a number of exciting changes and
improvements:
Multicore and Multiprocessor support allow the
computational workload from instruments and effects
to be distributed to other processors or cores,
speeding up system performance.
Deep Freeze expands editing functionality with frozen
tracks (temporary rendered files created to free
system resources). Cut, copy, paste, duplicate and
consolidate clips without having to re-freeze.
Automate mixer and clip envelopes, record frozen
session view clips into the arrangement, and drag
frozen MIDI clips into audio tracks, all without
missing a beat.
New and Improved Devices add to Live's palette of
creative tools.
EQ Eight has replaced EQ Four, with improvements
turning it into both a sound-shaping and mastering
tool.
Add analog richness with the warm distortion of
Dynamic Tube. Like many of Live's effects, it can be
used for subtle coloration or drastic sonic
manipulation.
Saturator has been improved with the addition of a
true analog saturation curve, a user-definable
waveshaper, and an optional second output saturator
stage.
Automate and "play" incoming MIDI notes with Note
Length. This MIDI effect can generate new notes when
incoming notes are released, emulating the release
behavior of instruments like the piano or the
harpsichord.
Operator has been augmented with a set of 24dB filter
modes, as well as new FM algorithms, giving users
more sonic possibilities than ever.
Conveniently organize collections of Live Sets, Live
Clips, presets, samples, and movie files with Live
6's new Project Management Tools. Self-contain a
project and pack it with lossless compression for
archiving or transfer using Project Folders. Search
for missing files and purge the disk of unused files
with ease.
