Sequencer Directed Live
Live is an audio sequencer which you can play like an instrument. It allows you to bring together audio material from various sources. All the samples used are adjusted to the tempo of the song in real time without changing the pitch...

- Several improvements for the APC40
- Support for Live Lite 7 Zoom Edition
| Version 8.0.1 | MacOS X UB | (App) | Apr 2, 2009 |
- New groove engine
Groove patterns dynamically influence the timing and velocity/volume of audio and MIDI material. This can add life and swing to straight patterns, give a track more drive, or lend a piece an easy, laid-back feeling.
- New warping engine
Live 8 is the next logical step in warping evolution with a new, more intuitive warping paradigm and some important Warp Mode enhancements.
- Looper
Looper brings the creative power of classic sound-on-sound looping to Live, without the limitations of a hardware device. Inspired by some of our favorite sample/delay devices plus a good deal of Ableton wizardry, Looper provides plenty of scope in a super-simple interface.
- New effects
Live 8 includes five powerful new effects, each with a strong personality and serious "classic" potential. These effects add a special Ableton shine to the well-known aspects of these devices, giving you effects that are not only practical and easy to use but also inspiring.
- Workflow enhancements
Version 8 makes Live easier with a number of most-wanted enhancements and some deceptively simple detail work.

| Version 7.0.14 | MacOS X UB | (App) | Dec 20, 2008 |
Improvements:
- Updated Manual
- On Mac OS X, changing the audio buffer size requires you to click on an 'Apply' button to commit the new buffer size. This should avoid that Audio Uinit plug-in are re-created more than once when changing the buffer size.
Bug fixes:
- Deleting or moving a Rack chain while there are clip envelopes for one of the chain mixer's parameters (volume, pan, or sends) could crash Live.
- MIDI overdub during Arranger recording could delete or cut notes.
- Selecting a scene would display "Insert Scene" for the "Select All" menu entry.
- Under very rare conditions and only with a Live set having at least 48 tracks, certain routings could switch to 'None' after previewing aLive clip or MIDI file.
- Replacing an instrument inside a Rack with a track having additional automation lanes controlling parameters of the previous instrument would crash Live.
- Dragging a clip from within Live or from the Browser would not use the Default preset.
- When running Live as ReWire master with Propellerheads Reason as ReWire slave, under certain conditions Live would crash when switching presets in Reason in a way that would modify or change its MIDI targets.

The latest update of "Live 7".
Support for AKAI APC40. Thanx..
Almost perfect..
absolutely, it's the best!
Very Good: Live 3.0 is truly the best looping sequencer for live-acts and for rapid results. Impressive it's effect section: therewith one can get brilliant results in real time. A most useful feature: You can run Live 3.0 in slave mode with nearly all other sequencers. Bad: you only get two registration-numbers from ableton (in case of changing your computer that's pretty not much). MIDI editing is not the a strong point of Live 3.0.
Truly the best Looping Sequencer for Mac or Windows. Live 1.0 was great, but 3.0 is amazing. Well worth the money!!!!
