Ableton 12 first impressions: My favourite new features

In this video I share a detailed exploration of Ableton Live 12, focusing on its newest features and their integration with a music production workflow. I dive into the updated user interface, MIDI manipulation tools, MIDI editing enhancements, and the introduction of MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) support for more expressive performances. I showcase the 'generate' function that innovates MIDI pattern creation and transformation, and how it's useful for idea development. I highlight the new MPE synth 'Meld' for creating unique sounds and the scale and tuning awareness features that offer musical experimentation beyond current standard practices. This is intended for both current Ableton users and those deciding if Ableton 12 fits their music production needs. By the end of this video you'll know if Ableton 12 is for you or not.

Neat! I wish to have more time to spend with those two 😊

Good video, thanks! For me the Midi Tools only are worth the upgrade price from 11 to 12, what a incredible implementation. Till now I used my Oxi One as generator but MiDi Tools is so much fun. And yes I know that the Oxi One is a different league but by adding Midi Tools in Live 12 I'm thinking of selling the Oxi One.

And what about Meld and Roar, incredible!

btw....will Tunings be integrated in the Push 3 Standalone?

[Zen-Breeze]

can we use ableton push 3 standalone for live streaming?

The generate tools are so nice. I press generate over and over and over and over again and still it cant give me ordered notes or anything coherent. Not even a lick of anything useful.
