Create with new devices
Meet Wavetable, Echo, Drum Buss and Pedal: new devices that mean colorful new sounds are possible with Live's instruments and effects.

Wavetable
Immediately playable, infinitely capable, Wavetable is a new synthesizer built by Ableton. Shape, stretch and morph sounds using wavetables derived from analog synths, and a range of other instruments and sounds. Start sculpting sounds right away-even without a deep knowledge of synthesis-or explore its rich palette and potential through an intuitive interface.

Echo
Echo brings together the sound of classic analog and digital hardware delays in a single device-your new go-to delay. Drive and shape sounds with its analog-modeled filters, turn up the noise and wobble for vintage imperfections, or add modulation and reverb to create diffuse soundscapes, wailing feedback and more.

Drum Buss
Drum Buss is a one-stop workstation for drums, capable of adding subtle character or bending and breaking drums to your will. Add warmth and distortion with drive and crunch, take control of dynamics with compression and transient shaping, dial in and tune boom and control bass decay with the dedicated low end section.

Pedal
With separate circuit-level models of overdrive, distortion and fuzz guitar pedals, Pedal brings the character of analog stomp boxes to Live. The effect goes all the way from subtle to reckless-it excels at warming up vocals and other instruments, driving synth sounds or completely smashing drums. And of course, it sounds great with guitars.

Bugfixes:
Audio hangs if in Live 9 created Simple Delay clip automation on audio track is changed in the Delay Device
Fixes a bug that caused Live to enable the Warp switch and to reset the audible region of unwarped audio clips when locating missing samples or replacing sample files on disk under certain circumstances.
Fixed an issue where starting playback via the Novation Launchkey Mini MK3, Launchkey MK3 or Launchpad Pro MK3 control surface scripts could result in MIDI notes getting cut off. With the Launchkey MK3 control surface script, it is now possible to continue playback by holding down the Shift button and pressing the Play button.
Previously on macOS, Live's installer did not ask the user to accept the EULA when mounting the disk image from the command line.
MIDI notes from the Oxygen Pro keyboard are now sent to MIDI track inputs by default when the keyboard is autodetected.
Previously, a visual glitch could appear around the Groove Pool selector button, under certain circumstances.
Fixed an issue where a pending auto-update would sometimes not be applied after downloading. (Note: this fix only affects auto-updates to future versions of Live.)
Previously, the Operator device could crash or calculate inaccurate frequencies when its Fixed Mode and Spread parameters were enabled.
The EQ Eight device will now scale its displayed spectrum the same way as the Channel EQ and Hybrid Reverb devices.
Live's window no longer turns red when loading a Set with missing plug-in devices.
Previously, Live would hang when turning its audio engine off, under certain circumstances.
Fixed a bug that prevented certain low-resolution plug-in devices from scaling correctly on macOS.

Fixed a crash that could occur when running certain plug-in devices.
