As a creative tool, more than 71GB of content and an extensive collection of virtual instruments and effects are onboard. Plus, with Max for Live built in, anything you can't accomplish with the included content and your favorite plug-ins are still easily within reach.

What’s is new :

Ableton really stepped up their game with Live 12, introducing a bunch of great new features. If you've used previous versions of Live, then you're definitely going to want to check these out.

• MIDI Transformations: add variations to your MIDI clips, such as creating ornamental articulations, drawing acceleration and deceleration curves, connecting successive notes and chords, and simulating strumming
• MIDI Generators: craft melodies, chords, and rhythms by using the new MIDI Generators to create engaging patterns
• MIDI Editing Improvements: arrange the order of a selection of notes by pitch, velocity, or duration to conjure up exciting new sonic concoctions
• Keys and Scales: set the selected clip's scale in Live's Control Bar to see its notes in any clip you create, then edit the clip using scale highlighting as a guide, use the clip scale to transform and generate musical ideas, or sync the scale of MIDI devices and instruments to the clip being played
• Expanded Probability: assign a single probability rule to a group of notes so that the entire group of notes is played whenever the trigger is fired
• Embrace and Explore Tunings: easily access alternate tuning systems — even those outside of the 12-note equal temperament system
• Stack Live's Detail Views: view your devices and the Clip Editor or automation at the same time for distraction-free toggling between views
• Mixer in Arrangement: Live's Mixer can now be viewed in the Arrangement Window instead of only in the Session Window
• Browser Tagging and Filtered Searches: search for sounds in the Browser without the constraints of Live's built-in categorization
• Sound Similarity Search: easily find comparable sounds and instrument presets to any other sample
• Drum Rack Swapping: instantly swap out the samples in your Drum Rack for similar ones to audition new percussive textures
