Ableton Live 8 Upgrade from Live Lite (Upgrade To Live 9 for a LTD Time Only)

Upgrade for APC40, APC20 and Launchpad

• 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.
• Apply groove patterns to any audio or MIDI clips in real time. Change the feel of the whole piece or just selected clips.
• Choose from an extensive library of groove patterns, captured from songs played by some of music's most original, expressive and soulful drummers.
• Extract groove patterns from any audio or MIDI source to build your own groove library from your favorite tracks.
• Quantize audio and MIDI in real time: non-destructive velocity and timing adjustments for rhythmic correction.
• Randomize audio and MIDI timing for a more human feel.
• Intuitive warping allows you to adjust events on the timeline instead of stretching and squeezing the timeline around the events.
• Transient handles: Live analyzes and assigns handles to the transients in audio files automatically.
• Slice by transient: slice audio to MIDI based on Live 8's new transient analysis.
• Enhanced Beats Warp Mode for improved warping of percussive material and new control options.
• Improved Complex Warp Mode using élastique Pro for warping complex, polyphonic material with fewer artifacts.
• One-touch operation: Looper is set up for remote operation, so you can record, overdub, undo and more using a single footswitch (not included) and without touching the computer.
• Endless overdubs, tape-loop style for infinite improv jams.
• First loop sync: Live reads the tempo from the length of the first loop you record and automatically syncs up. This eliminates timing issues and lets you record without the click.
• Simple loop management: drag and drop a loop from Looper into a clip slot to make a clip; drag a clip back again to reload it into Looper.
• Multiple Looper sync lets you run as many Loopers as you want without any synchronization headaches.
• 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.
