Free Guide To Building Max Devices for Ableton

Ableton has just introduced Building Max Devices, a comprehensive pathway to Max for Live that takes you through the steps you need to build your own Max tools, with helpful lesson texts spread out across multiple Live Sets.

What is Max?
Max is a visual programming language with a strong focus on music, audio, and multimedia, and it integrates with Ableton Live. However, many musicians find the concept of “programming” to be a little intimidating.

Featuring 41 Live Sets & 90 free Max Devices, it is designed to get you working with Max, along with a wide range of examples to help you understand what Max can do.

Here’s the Max Devices Tour:

Building Max Devices is available as a free download, for Live 11 Suite users or those who own Live 11 Standard plus Max for Live.
