General
Some devices, such as controllers and sound cards, come with a free version of Ableton Live Lite. Ableton Lite works the same way as its larger counterparts and is a nice, simpler version that helps you get started with Ableton. Of course, the options and contents of the Lite version are rather limited, and you’re quickly going to want to move on to bigger and better versions. That’s where this upgrade to Ableton Live 9 Suite comes in (this version comes with a German user manual).
Ableton Live 9 Suite
Ableton Live 9 Suite is the most expansive package that Ableton offers. You get access to an unlimited number of audio and MIDI tracks, meaning that you can make your projects as large as your computer will allow. Furthermore, the upgrade comes with a 54GB sound bank that contains a wide variety of sounds for all genres, such as beats, drums, synthesizers, orchestral instruments, pianos and guitars. You also get more virtual instruments and effects, so nothing will be standing in the way on the path to your professional track.
Max for Live
Max for Live is one of the most exciting parts of the upgrade because it gives you a way to create your own unique virtual instruments and effects. It takes some time and practice to get the hang of Max for Live, but it’s time well-spent, because in the end you’ll have instruments and effects that no one else has. Max for Live comes with a Convolution Reverb, Mono Sequencer, Buffer Shuffler 2, Drum Synth, LFO, envelope follower, XY Pad, Multimap, Device Randomizer, and a number of handy MIDI tools.
