But two of the biggest small additions include a Tuner Device (which for some reason Live hasn’t ever added prior to this) and the integration of a brand new version of Max For Live, Max 7. There’s a ton of other smaller bug fixes and “further under-the-hood improvements” which Ableton has detailed here in the release notes.

To make sense of how to best use the 64-pad mode, Ableton’s gotten Mad Zach to build an extensive drum rack ( available for free download here) and put together a video of him sharing his tips and tricks on the new mode: You can quickly switch between the 64 mode and the 16 pad mode (for step sequencing). The new Warp Selection command lets you warp a selected portion of a sample to a precise bar length.” 64-Pad Mode For Push + Free Mad Zach Packįor owners of the powerful Ableton Push instrument, the new update also unlocks the ability to use all 64 pads on one instance of a drum rack. “Transients are punchier in Complex and Complex Pro modes, downbeat detection has been improved and warping is now even more accurate. In 9.2, there’s been a lot of attention put on making it even better: One of the most used tools for DJs who use Ableton is the built-in time/audio stretching engine, that Ableton calls warping. No latencies are shown when latency compensation is turned off.”Īdditionally, they’ve made both automation and modulation parameters latency-compensated. “The latency introduced by a device is now displayed in the status bar, when hovering over the title bar with the mouse. Traditionally only Ableton’s built-in plugins and devices had the lowest reliable latency, but it seems like making this same smooth experience possible for all users is a focus for this release. In 9.2, Ableton has focused a fair amount on reducing the overall amount of latency when using third-party plug-ins and Max For Live devices.
