MXL Pack for Ableton Live
40+ MIDI max-for-live devices !
for composers, studio and live performers – for Live Suite 10 and 11
quantize melodies and chords to 400 scales – change the scale dinamically by sending notes from Live clips/tracks
chromatic, diatonic and rotating harmonizers, with different velocity, delay and target track for each transposed note
create the ideal MIDI controller with dynamic split areas, multiple note layers, smart sustain, one-finger chords, harmonizers, velocity curves and fading, note repetitions and delays, chord strumming, CC filters, glissandos
randomize melodies and chords – you decide how “impredictable” they sound
use note pitch, velocity, ADSR envelopes to control Live parameters – control 8 params with a single command, randomize and combine params using math operations, create param snapshots and recall them by hitting a key on your MIDI keyboard
use 16 midi buses to combine MXL devices and control them from other tracks
100-page manual, with thorough descriptions and tons of tips (download)

MXL Pack is the largest collection of Ableton Live MIDI devices designed for DJs, performers, studio musicians and composers, for any music genre and expertise level
create your ideal MIDI controller
turn even the simplest keyboard into the most powerful MIDI controller without spending a fortune • up to six note layers, with pitch and velocity ranges, velocity curves • manual or automatic sustain • one-finger chords • route individual notes or chord voices to different Live tracks and instruments in cyclic or random fashion • generate release (noteoff) velocity • strum chords • send a pair of CC messages using an XY pad, with gesture recording support • detune by setting a pitchbend offset, and more
harmonize with 400 scales
quantize melodies to any of the 400 scales that MXL Pack supports • create chromatic and diatonic harmonizers • “rotating” harmonizers that change chords on each new note, in cyclic or random fashion • apply different velocity fading and delay to individual chord notes, and send them to different instruments • play different chords depending on note velocity • change scale in real-time by sending notes from your keyboard or a Live clip/track, to play in-tune even over the most intricate chord progressions
get inspired by chaos
generate new melodies by randomly transposing notes in Live clips, change their velocity, delay or drop them • tame chaos by defining min/max length of musical phrases or max distance from previous notes • control predictability by setting probabilty for individual scale notes and intervals • define the exact probability for replacing any specific note with another note of your choice (great for drum racks) • randomize note octaves to create variety in your chords
leverage full MIDI potential
monitor incoming MIDI messages, with detection of chords of any complexity • use on-screen keyboard to send notes and chords • send SysEx messages with parameters • convert pitchbend and CCs to aftertouch, polyphonic pressure or a different CC • bind up to 8 Live parameters to attack/release velocity, pitchbend, aftertouch and polyphonic pressure • fade velocity and breath (CC2) near begin/end of note ranges • send any MIDI message when a note is played, with ADSR and DAHDSR envelopes
a bus you can’t miss
combine devices and let the communicate through 16 midi buses • use Live clips to control MXL devices’ parameters and behavior • create groups of devices that behave identically even if placed in different tracks (eg quantize multiple tracks to the same scale) • send notes from a device to multiple tracks, e.g. play chord notes with different timbres or audio effects • use MXL Random or Live’s Random device to further randomize MXL devices behavior
presets, presets, presets
store MXL device settings in 100+ presets • recall preset using standard Live parameter binding OR recall them by sending notes from keyboard or from Live tracks/clips for automatic preset recall • save presets to files and reuse them in other Live projects • copy and paste MXL devices to other tracks, and more
