Electric - an electric piano instrument.

Drum Synths - 8 devices for creating drum and percussion sounds via synthesis.

Collision - a mallet percussion physical modelling synthesizer.

Bass - a monophonic virtual analog bass synthesizer.

Analog - simulates an analog synthesizer.

Instrument Rack - allows the user to combine multiple instruments and effects into a single device, allowing for split and layered sounds with customized macro controls.

As is usual with Ableton almost anything can be drag dropped to or from the drum racks for example, one can drop an audio clip or any MIDI device onto a drum rack note. MIDI notes trigger individual 'Simplers' so rather than triggering one sample at multiple pitches, individual samples are triggered at predefined pitches, as is suitable for MIDI drum programming. In this case, incoming MIDI does not trigger drums as it does in Impulse, but selects the final pitch of the sample, with C3 playing the sample at its original pitch. It functions using a single audio sample, applying simple effects, and envelopes, finally applying pitch transformations in the form of Granular synthesis.

Simpler - a basic sampling instrument.

Once the kit is defined, rhythms and beats are created through Live's MIDI sequencer. There are a number of effects available such as basic equalization, attack, decay, pitch shift, etc.

Impulse - a traditional drum triggering instrument which allows the user to define a kit of up to eight drum sounds, each based on a single sample.

By contrast, Live Suite includes all available instruments. The Intro version of Live includes four instruments (Impulse, Simpler, Instrument Rack, and Drum Rack) and the Standard version of Live additionally includes External Instrument, with users having the option to purchase additional instruments.

It is also used for manual MIDI sequencing. The Arrangement View is used for recording tracks from the session view and further manipulating their arrangement and effects.

The Arrangement View offers a horizontal music production timeline of Clips that is more similar to a traditional software sequencer interface. When moving on to the next scene, which may feature a synth bassline, the artist will trigger the scene, activating the clips for that scene. For instance a drum, bass and guitar track might comprise a single scene. These clips can be arranged into scenes which can then be triggered as a unit. The Session View offers a grid-based representation of all of the Clips in a Live Set.

MIDI triggers notes on Live's built in instruments, as well as third party VST instruments or external hardware. triggered) or played back in a pre-arranged order. Live utilizes audio sample or MIDI sequences, referred to as Clips, which are arranged to be played live (i.e. Live's user interface is composed of two 'Views' вЂ“ the Arrangement View and the Session View. Live itself was not prototyped in Max, although most of the audio devices were. They released the first version of Live in 2001 as commercial software.

Ableton co-founders Gerhard Behles, Robert Henke, and Bernd Roggendorf developed Live from homemade software that Behles and Henke had created to facilitate their live music performances as Monolake.
