Utvidelsen "Max for Live" er et programmeringsmiljø gjør det mulig å bygge egne instrumenter og effekter innvendig i Ableton Live programmet. Her finnes det en enorm kraft og et stort potensiale for utvidelsene du måtte ønske og med Max er disse integrert med med fuksjonaliteten i Ableton Live. Her kan man gå forbi og overgå de begrensningene som vanlige DAW verktøy ofte har. Man kan bygge helt unike synther og effekter, skape algoritmiske komponeringsverktøy eller gi ekstern hardware radikalt nye funkjoner. Med Max for Live må man nødvendigvis ikke finne opp hjulet helt selv, en kan ha glede av andre brukeres arbeide ved å dele med hverandre i brukerforum og via Share funksjonen i Live. Max for Live er utviklet i samarbeid mellom Ableton og Cycling'74.
LEVERES SOM SERIENUMMER OG NEDLASTNING
Max for Live comes with a collection of premium instruments and effects, pre-made and ready to use in your Live Sets alongside Live's native devices. And once Max builders start using Max for Live, this collection will grow even larger.
• Program your own audio effects, MIDI effects and instruments
• Use the A P I to control Live sets, tracks, clips, devices, notes, loops, parameters etc.
• Customize your controller – Create patches to extend your hardware controller’s feature set
• Use and share devices of others. Max for Live is not just for experienced programmers. Non-programmers will have access to huge amounts of other people’s devices via Ableton’s Share platform.
• Existing Max patches can be copied and pasted from Max 5 to Max for Live
• Big potential in educational multi-license sales where Max 5 is well
established
• Finally you can program the features you’ve been dreaming of, but Ableton never implemented yourself!
Max for Live comes with a number of Lessons that can get you going with everything from using the factory content to building your own devices. These Lessons appear in Live's Help View, alongside the normal Live Lessons.
In addition, Max comes with a comprehensive documentation system including a number of step-by-step tutorials and basic example devices that can be launched from almost anywhere in the Max environment.
