"New Ableton Instruments
The new add-on instruments are the result of Ableton's collaboration with leading industry partners. The palette covers physically modeled electric pianos, analog synthesizers and string instruments as well as multi-mic/multi-layer sampled acoustic drums, drum machines, orchestral strings, brass, woodwinds and percussion. The instruments integrate tightly with Live, both in terms of workflow and resource management.
Tension is a physical modeling string synthesizer that allows you to create incredibly accurate reproductions of real instruments or design otherworldly hybrids.
Electric offers the sounds of classic electric pianos through physical modeling synthesis, allowing you to dive inside and play with the guts of the instrument.
Analog emulates the unique circuitry and irresistible tweakability of vintage analog synthesizers. Able to produce everything from silky pad sweeps to earth-shaking bass."
Jesus, man. I was just about to upgrade to frigging 6. How the hell am I supposed to keep up with this!?!?
ReplyDeleteEdit:
ReplyDeleteI didn't notice this part -
"All users who unlock their Live 6 or Live 6 Upgrade between October 1, 2007 and January 31, 2008 will get a free download upgrade to Ableton Live 7, plus attractive instrument bundle offers at release date."
That's pretty cool.
they're in BETA too!
ReplyDeleteget your serials and get in on the first round of testing.
I really like what they've done to the existing effects (ie. sidechain input for the compressor, gate and filter) as much as some of the new features.
there's an instrument and an effect device specifically for routing audio and MIDI to external hardware as part of the plug in chain instead of the old way (creating dedicated channels just for routing).
the new instruments (tension, electrice and analog) are "Abletonized" versions of String Studio, Lounge Lizard and Ultra Analog.

WTF is with Cakewalk and Live? They can't seem to stop releasing new versions every what... 6 months or so? Ok, I may be exagurating a bit but still. That's why I don't rush out and buy software when it comes out. I know that by the time I learn it, I'll have to upgrade.
ReplyDeleteScrew that. I'm still stuck with my Cubase 3 and Live 5. It will take some serious sweet talking, convincing, AND FULLY FUNCTIONAL and COMPREHENSIVE midi editing capability to force me to switch. As it stands right now, MIDI in Live 5 (even 6) is just not up to par to qualify as a "full blown DAW".
The new drum rack & multi automation lanes are reason enough for me to get 7...what ever version you have this is such a great product.
