Ableton
Live is a loop-based software music sequencer for Macintosh and Windows by
Ableton. Unlike other software
sequencers, Live is designed around the notion of being as much an instrument
for live performances as a tool for composing and arranging.Live has introduced a new approach to making
music with computers on stage and in the studio that some call revolutionary.
Live has received outstanding feedback from the international press and
artists. There are now several hundred thousand Live users worldwide, and the
number is growing fast.
Much of Live's unique interface comes from being designed to
use in live performance. As such the
interface is more compact than most sequencers and clearly designed for use on
a single screen. There are no pop up
messages or dialogs at all, aside from an options dialog consisting of five
tabs. Portions of the interface are
hidden and shown based on arrows which may be clicked to show or hide a certain
segment (e.g. to hide the instrument/effect list or to show or hide the help
box). Additionally, because of the
performance aspect of Live's design, all of the processing is done in real-time,
rather than rendering effects prior to playback as is typical in many
sequencers and sample editors.
