Ableton Live 12 Suite 12.2 macOS [HCiSO] screenshot
TEAM HCiSO | 12 June 2025 | U2B : 3.17 GB
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.

As always HoMeCracKeR and Team HCiSO.

This is a fairly consequential incremental release, so just a note to everyone who doesn't pay close attention to all release notes etc, :

be sure to save any projects made with previous iterations with a new name or 'save as' etc if one feels or fears there may be a reason to roll back to an earlier version for one reason or another... (I have had to before myself for different reasons, and I don't want anyone getting jammed up.. )
..grateful for HCiSO, HEXWARS, R2R, GUISEPPE , CASHMERE & ALL teams, AZ crew past and present, and friends I have met here . RIP and LOVE to Olymoon and his family. 8647.

Is Granulator III included in this release or do I have to find it elsewhere ?
I saw a demo for the filter update, it's really promising.

Thanks !

Granulator III, like Expressive Chords, is an Ableton Live Pack. Packs are never included in these releases.

thx hciso for the release
however, im having some troubles with it. i find it very laggy, It take way longer than previous versions to load an instrument or fx, and even longer to change project (several minutes). never experienced this with previous hciso releases ( im on Mac m2 16go not a performance issue)

I tried some of my most CPU hungry VST instruments but didn't experience anything like you did. The only difference I can think of is - I installed "Audiowarez" version (with Keygen)

Could be an issue with a template or standard set. I had that once but when switching from Intel to Apple Silicon. You can open Live without plugins loaded or with a plain template and check if the issue persists…

Thank you. Everything works correctly!

However, why are there no Expressive Chords in the package? I understand that it can be found on the website and installed additionally (which I'm going to do)

But the question remains, because in the beta it was there

Thanks for this awesome release. However, I cannot find the Convolution Reverb that is supposed to be included with the Live Suite. It's not listed, and the search also doesn't bring any result. Anyone knows? Cheers!
  Member 15.01.2025 35

Do you mean “Hybrid Reverb”? That’s the only convolution reverb built-in to Ableton, as far as I’m aware.
  Member 8.03.2014 10

No, the Hybrid Reverb is different. I mean the Convolution Reverb Pro, which can be accessed here:

https://www.ableton.com/en/packs/convolution-reverb/

Apparently it's included with the Ableton Suite, but for some reason it's missing in this release.
  Member 25.04.2023 36

The release is very stable. But a lot of things need to be completed. But as far as I understand from previous comments, this is normal.

I put this version on top of the previous one. And I installed only Expressive Chords. The rest was already there...
  Member 15.01.2025 35

Yeah, that’s not “built-in”. It’s part of a Pack.
  Member 8.03.2014 10

I'm not sure. On the official page for the Convolution Reverb on the Ableton website here:

https://www.ableton.com/en/packs/convolution-reverb/

Right above the download link it says: "Included with Live 12 Suite."
