1. Announcing Live 6

Ableton is proud to announce Live 6. Like no other Ableton release,
Live 6 has opened itself to new creative communities--offering
Quicktime video support, a professional multisample library, and
customizable racks of instruments and effects. Live 6 also satisfies
frequent user requests by delivering multicore support, enhanced
project management tools, and improved MIDI control.

Quicktime Video Support:
Live now enters the world of post-production. Drag and drop movies
directly into Live's Arrangement View, and monitor the result on a
video window or second screen. Then, align music to visuals, and
process the movie's audio signal within Live. It has never been easier
to improvise, compose and warp music to picture.

Essential Instrument Collection:
The Essential Instrument Collection provides Live 6 users with a
comprehensive library of multisampled instruments. The included
instruments cover the entire musical spectrum, from orchestral strings
and brasses to classic guitars and electric keyboards, to instruments
like the harp and the glockenspiel. Load and play the collection in
Live's Simpler, or in Sampler--Ableton's new optional multisample
instrument.

Instrument and Effect Racks:
Racks offer a new level of depth to Live without sacrificing
accessibility. Use Racks to create, save and control customized
groupings of multiple instruments, effects and plug-ins. Then
distribute your creations online. Use the Rack's included knobs to
adjust any number of parameters with a single knob or fader. Live 6
comes with many preconfigured Racks with both instruments and common
processing tools like guitar and bass distortion, drum processing, and
mastering.

Multicore and Multiprocessor support:
Distribute the computational workload from instruments and effects to
other processors or cores to speed up system performance.

Deep Freeze:
Expand editing functionality with frozen tracks (temporary rendered
files created to free system resources). Cut, copy, paste, duplicate
and consolidate clips without having to re-freeze. Automate mixer and
clip envelopes, record frozen Session View clips into the Arrangement,
and drag frozen MIDI clips into audio tracks, all without missing a
beat.

New and Improved Devices add to Live's palette of creative tools.
- EQ Eight has replaced EQ Four, with improvements that turn it into
both a sound-shaping and a mastering tool.
- Dynamic Tube adds analog richness with the warm distortion of a
tube amplifier. Like many of Live's effects, it can be used for subtle
coloration or drastic sonic manipulation.
- Saturator has been improved with the addition of a true analog
saturation curve, a user-definable waveshaper, and an optional second
output saturator stage.
- Note Length allows users to automate and "play" incoming MIDI
notes. This MIDI effect can generate new notes when incoming notes are
released, emulating the release behavior of instruments like the piano
or the harpsichord.
- Operator has been augmented with a set of 24 dB filter modes, as
well as new FM algorithms, giving users more sonic possibilities than
ever.

Project Management Tools:
Conveniently organize collections of Live Sets, Live Clips, presets,
samples, and movie files. Self-contain a project and pack it with
lossless compression for archiving or transfer using Project Folders.
Search for missing files and purge the disk of unused files with ease.

2. Announcing Sampler

Today, Ableton proudly presents Sampler, an advanced sound-design and
sound-sculpting instrument available as an upgrade within Ableton
Live 6. In addition to providing perfect host integration, Sampler
offers fresh sound-design possibilities through its unique processing
and modulation options. When combined within Ableton's Instrument and
Effect Racks in Live 6, multiple Samplers provide unprecedented depth
of control, automation and sonic possibilities.

In the Zone
Each instance of Sampler can host any number of sample zones. Key and
velocity ranges as well as crossfades can be defined using a graphical
editor. Numerous playback and looping options can also be set up for
each zone. Sampler helps with mapping and also helps find appropriate
loop points.

Most importantly, Sampler integrates perfectly with Live. Its GUI will
be instantly familiar to users accustomed to Live's look and feel. Its
short loading times and efficient handling of large-volume libraries
provide the sensation of a light-weight yet powerful engine.

As with any Ableton instrument, users can modulate Sampler's controls
with clip envelopes, stack Samplers, attach effects and save projects
including all samples used by Sampler to send to a colleague for
collaboration.

Format Friendly
Sampler avoids RAM shortages and loading-wait times by employing
Live's disk preloading technology. Sampler also gracefully imports
common sample formats, including AKAI S1000, S3000, GigaStudio, EXS,
SoundFont and (non-encrypted) Kontakt. Sampler can also access and
edit Ableton's own Essential Instrument Collection shipping with each
boxed version of Live 6.

Unique Processing and Modulation
- Modulation. A dedicated oscillator can modulate samples by frequency
or amplitude, enabling selective harmonic or disharmonic enrichment of
the original timbres.
- Morphing. Every voice is processed with a "morphable" multimode
filter and polyphonic saturation stage. Each aspect of the original
sample, including sample start and loop position as well as loop
length, can be polyphonically modulated.
- And More Modulation. Three LFOs, five multimode envelopes and
various MIDI inputs serve as modulation sources.
- The ability to modulate not only post processing but also the sample
playback characteristics extends the instrument's functionality in the
direction of wavetable and granular synthesis.

Sampler Pricing and Availability
--------------------------------
Sampler will be available for 199 USD/169 Euro to Live 6 users via the
Ableton webshop in September 2006.


Live 6 and Sampler Beta Test
----------------------------
Beta testing for Live 6 and Sampler will begin in late July 2006. This
is a great opportunity for users to get a firsthand look at what
Live 6 and Sampler have to offer.

3. Ableton Live Rocks with SONiVOX

Ableton announces a technology licensing partnership with leading
soundware provider SONiVOX (formerly Sonic Implants). Ableton will
incorporate a selection of premium SONiVOX instruments into Live 6,
adding a comprehensive instrument collection to Live 6.

Dedicated to sound quality, playability and efficiency of workflow,
SONiVOX is the virtual instrument provider of choice for leading
composers, musicians and producers worldwide. SONiVOX instruments will
be seamlessly integrated into Live 6, substantially extending the
ability of Live users to do what they do best--make the most of each
phase of the music-making process. An initial set of multisampled
instruments will ship free with Live 6 with additional Expansion Sound
Sets to be released in the near future.

Je ne pense pas que l'on pourra parler de logiciel VJ dans un premier temps, je pense que l'on pourra adapter l'audio a la video mais pas le contraire. mais peut etre que je me trompe, qu'est ce que vous en pensez?
12
C'ets vrai que c'ets prematuré, mais bon ca serait tellement pratique...tout comme l'audio, tu met tes clips, tu peux appliquer des effets video dessus et pourquoi pas controler les effets en midi...apres on pourrait imaginer de syncrhoniser egalement un live audio et un live video.
13
Enfin ce serait plutot un tout autre logiciel, faut ps abuser non plus...
14
J'espere quand même que les options pour la musique sera amelioré!
C'est bien de mettre la video, mais apres c'est plu un log de musique.
Par exemple un sampleur refait serait bien accepter!!!
15
Il est pas bien le sampleur de live ? (je sais pas je l utilise jamais moi...)
par contre il commence a pas etre donne le logiciel. quasi 600 euros , aille ca fait tres mal.
Je suis tout a fait d accord, la video ca sent le gadget sans interet et un peu la dispertion. il sera capable de stretcher l audio de la video ? auqel cas ca peut etre interessant pour integerer les son d une video quicktime. Mais franchement je me demande bien qui peut avoir besoin de la video dans live !!
16
Perso , je suis pas d'accord poru la video, certes au debut ca sera pas forcement accés pour du VJing pure et dure, mais franchement un des gros interets de live, c'est son IHM super ergonomique, a mon avis a faire saliver plus d'un VJ...pouvoir anquiller des ambiances visuels en synchro avec la zik, ca serait le kiffe pour la scene...
17
Il faudrait quand même pas que Live devienne une usine à gaz en ajoutant floppée de fonctionnalités à chaque nouvelle version... de même j'espère qu'il ne perdra pas en stabilité également ! En tout cas c'est cool pour le multicore !

VIM qui n'a jamais eu son tee-shirt...

Bah, je ne vois pas en quoi Live 6 et la gestion du format vidéo Quicktime serait bien plus lourd que la version actuelle. Ce n'est de loin pas le premier séquenceur généraliste sachant faire à la fois de la vidéo et de l'audio. Nuendo n'est pas plus une usine à gaz que Cubase SX, par exemple.
Travaillant avec Pro Tools et Nuendo, pour la post-production, notamment, je dois avouer que j'attendais cette nouveauté avec beaucoup d'impatience :) C'est la seule chose qui me retenait à passer définitivement à Ableton Live.
Avec la v6, je passerai définitivement le cap :clin:
19
Et puis je crois que Live5 est un sequenceur Audio/Midi qui est aboutit, tres complet et performant. Je pense rester sur Live5 si la version demo de Live6 ne m'apporte qu'une serie de gadgets.
20
Je pense comme toi Vibes, autant la version 5 avait apporté de vrai innovation (dont le freeze), autant je pense que la V6 n'est pas essentielle pour qui maitrise le logiciel...je pense passe encore un an sur live 5 et puis me prendre une vrai claque avec live 7 :clin:
