Live 12 全新功能与更新汇总
MIDI 变形功能
可为 MIDI 片段生成多种简单或复杂的变奏：添加装饰音与演奏技法、绘制渐快 / 渐慢速度曲线、连接连续音符与和弦，还能模拟吉他扫弦效果。
MIDI 生成器
借助全新 MIDI 生成器，一键创作旋律、和弦与节奏动机。可给生成器设定自定义规则，让它生成灵动独特的音乐律动，再将生成的灵感化为你自己的作品。
Max for Live MIDI 工具
Max 平台进一步提升实验创作自由度，你可以基于现有模板、或从零自制全新 MIDI 变形与 MIDI 生成器。
MIDI 编辑全面升级
可按音高、力度、时值对选中音符重新排序；以全新方式拉伸、分割、裁切、合并音符；精细化塑造音符力度、移调适配调式；按半音或调式规则添加音程。
调式与音阶
在 Live 控制栏直接设定所选片段的音阶，后续新建片段都会自动匹配调式显示。可借助音阶高亮辅助编辑、用片段音阶变换和生成音乐动机，还能将 MIDI 乐器与硬件音色同步匹配当前播放片段的音阶。Live 内的任何改动都会实时同步到 Push 控制器，双向联动。
扩展概率律动
可给一组音符设置同一条概率规则，触发时整组音符同步演奏；也可选中和弦，设置每次概率触发时随机演奏和弦内某一个音符。
兼容自定义律制
更轻松使用各类传统律制、跳出十二平均律创作；Live 自带设备及所有支持 MPE 的插件，均可调用自定义音律。
Meld 合成器
双音色、支持 MPE 的塑形合成器，专为深度音色设计打造；搭载两个简易宏振荡器，可制作丰富氛围音色与实验性质感音色。
第三代粒子合成器 Granulator III
Robert Henke 经典粒子合成器全新升级，支持 MPE 多维表达控制，可细腻操控音高弯音、颤音、滑音等参数；同时支持实时录制音频并立即进行粒子重塑处理。
Roar 饱和塑形效果器
全新音色染色与饱和效果器，既能做出细腻温润的母带级暖音色，也可营造狂野多变的音色失真质感。Roar 拥有三段饱和模块，支持串联、并联、中侧、多频段多种架构；内置反馈发生器与完整调制矩阵。
全新调制逻辑
调制源不再独占接管参数，即使已经挂载 LFO 或其他调制源，你仍可手动微调被调制参数；工作流更高效、现场演出可能性更多，支持参数持续实时控制。
全新音色扩展包
Lost and Found 音色包
由非常规材质、打击乐小打、独特拟音录音与表现力乐器采样打造而成，为作品注入独特质感与真实氛围感。可用于搭建层次丰富的装饰性乐器、趣味鼓组机架与质感音效。
Performance Pack 演出工具包
由 Iftah 打造的一套创意演出设备，突破 Live 现场演出边界。可保存工程快照并随时调用、用多层宏控制曲线联动多参数；在编曲视图用循环延展演出段落，甚至可在录制前预先编排整场演出结构。

Ableton Live is fast, fluid and flexible software music sequencer and digital audio workstation for music creation and performance. It comes with effects, instruments, sounds and all kinds of creative features - everything you need to make any kind of music.
Create in a traditional linear arrangement, or improvise without the constraints of a timeline in Live's Session View. Move freely between musical elements and play with ideas, without stopping the music and without breaking your flow.
→ All new features and updates in Live 12:
MIDI Transformations
Create a variety of simple or complex variations to your MIDI clips: add ornaments and articulations, draw acceleration and deceleration curves, connect successive notes and chords, or simulate the strum of a guitar.
MIDI Generators
Conjure up melodies, chords and rhythms with new MIDI Generators. Give your chosen Generator custom constraints, watch it create playful and original patterns, and then turn the ideas it produces into your own.
Max for Live MIDI Tools
Max now facilitates even greater experimentation, letting you create new MIDI Transformations and Generators – either based on existing ones, or your own creations.
MIDI Editing Improvements
Arrange the order of a selection of notes by pitch, velocity or duration. Stretch, split, chop or join notes in new ways; shape the velocity of notes; transpose them into a scale; or add intervals chromatically or in key.
Keys and Scales
Set the selected clip's scale in Live's Control Bar to see its notes in any clip you create. Then edit the clip using scale highlighting as a guide, use the clip scale to transform and generate musical ideas, or sync the scale of MIDI devices and instruments to the clip being played. Any changes in Live will be reflected in Push, and vice versa.
Expanded probability
Assign a single probability rule to a group of notes so that the entire group of notes is played whenever the trigger is fired. Or select a chord and tell Live to randomly play one note from it whenever the probability trigger is fired.
Embrace and explore tunings
Follow your preferred tuning systems or try different ones more easily. Work outside the 12-tone equal temperament system, and access tunings with Live's devices as well as any MPE-capable plugin.
Meld
A bi-timbral, MPE-capable instrument designed for deep sound shaping that lets you create a wide array of textural and experimental tones with its two easy-to-use macro oscillators.
Granulator III
The latest iteration of Robert Henke's granular instrument now has MPE capability, giving you expressive control over parameters like note bend, vibrato and glissando. Plus, you can now capture audio in real time and start manipulating it immediately.
Roar
Create everything from subtle and precise mastering-grade warmth to wild and unpredictable sound degradation with Live's new coloring and saturation effect. Roar's three saturation stages can be used in series, parallel, or even in mid/side and multiband configurations – and it comes equipped with a feedback generator and an extensive modulation matrix.
New Modulation Behavior
Modulation destinations are no longer taken over by the modulation source. This means you can still adjust the parameter being modulated, even after assigning an LFO or other modulation source to it, opening up faster workflows, more possibilities for performance and continuous real-time control of parameters.
New Pack
Lost and Found – A collection of sounds fashioned from unusual materials, percussive trinkets, unique foley recordings and expressive objects to infuse your productions with character and authenticity. Dig deep and create layers of decorative, expressive instruments, playful Drum Racks and rich sound effects.
New Pack
Performance Pack – A set of innovative devices from Iftah that push the boundaries of performing with Live. Capture snapshots of your sets and deploy them later, control multiple parameters with layered macros and curves, extend performances with looping in Arrangement View and pre-arrange the structure of a performance before you have even recorded it.
Stacked Detail Views
View your devices and the Clip Editor, or automation and device parameters, at the same time – so you can work without the distraction of switching between views.
View styling
Live 12's cleaner, more minimal look removes visual complexity and keeps the focus on your music.
Mixer in Arrangement
Live's Mixer, previously available only in Session View, can now be used in Arrangement View. Toggle it on or off with Mixer View Control located in the bottom right corner or via the View menu, and configure it independently of the Arrangement Mixer.
Mixer improvements
Live's Mixer also comes with visual improvements that make it more accurate for detailed mixing decisions, and easier to read and control.
Browser Tagging and Filtered Searches
Search for your sounds in the Browser without the constraints of Live's built-in categorization. That means when you search for bass sounds, you'll see all the bass sounds in your Ableton library, whether they're samples or instrument presets.
Live 12's sound content is also tagged using a new system that acts as a more flexible alternative or addition to Collections in the sidebar. Sounds now come with sensible labels to make them easier to find – but if you need more detail, or just want to use your own method of labeling, you can also add your own.
Aside from Live 12's built-in tags, you can create your own custom categories in the sidebar for easy access to all your favorite sounds and devices in the way that makes the most sense to your workflow.
Sound Similarity Search
Start with a sample and tell Live's browser to find comparable sounds and instrument presets, with the help of a neural network.
Or swap all the samples in your Drum Rack for similar ones to quickly try out new percussive textures – like a drum machine with seemingly-infinite kits.
Browser History
Retrace your steps, and see and hear the sounds or categories you've previously searched for: Live's Browser now lets you backtrack through your search history as you would with a web browser.
Accessibility and navigation improvements
Control core workflows in Live 12 using assistive technologies like screen readers, and use new keyboard shortcuts to navigate to nearly every part of Live.
New Themes
Choose new themes and adjust them with cool, neutral or warm tones and even a high contrast mode.
