Thicken vocals and instruments with three distinct modulation characters—from lush ensemble thickness to pure pitch wobble—each sculpted with morphable waveforms and surgical filtering.

Sweep vocals and synths through spacious, rotating modulation with three distinct characters and dual LFOs for complex stereo movement.

Bend frequencies into otherworldly textures with three distinct shift modes and envelope-following modulation for evolving, dynamic effects.

Swirl vocals, synths, and drums through three classic modulation engines—phaser, flanger, doubler—with dual LFOs for hypnotic, evolving stereo effects.

Craft swirling, spacious modulation effects across three distinct engines—phaser, flanger, and doubler—with deep LFO control and 10 waveform shapes.

Route dual filters in series or parallel to sculpt warm, characterful synth tones with saturation and physically modeled oscillators.

Layer evolving textures across 32 voices with morphing oscillators and dual filter types for rich, responsive synth designs.

Blend multiple synthesis methods through dual oscillators and a deep modulation matrix, locking melodies to any scale instantly.

Generate complex, evolving synth textures through four oscillators with FM modulation and eleven routing algorithms.

Design intricate synth sounds with dual wavetable oscillators and five filter types across analog-modeled circuits.

Craft evolving delays with dual independent lines and musical transition modes—pitch-shift, fade, or jump between settings for seamless textural movement.

Craft intricate spatial rhythms with dual independent delay lines and LFO modulation across three stereo modes.

Modulate three independent delays with linked filters and X-Y control for evolving, textured rhythmic effects that lock to your tempo.

Transform delays into shimmering, pitch-shifted textures with granular processing that morphs from subtle chorus to otherworldly ambience.

Control dynamic range with surgical precision using Peak, RMS, or Expand modes—plus lookahead detection for transparent, musical compression.

Tighten mixes with analog warmth and adaptive compression that responds intelligently to your material's dynamics.

Balance up to 8 parametric filters across stereo, L/R, or M/S modes with real-time spectrum analysis and adaptive Q for transparent, focused tone shaping.

Balance tone across three frequency bands with independent gain and crossover control—essential for quick, surgical mixing on any source.

Split any mix into three frequency zones and apply independent compression or expansion to each—perfect for surgical tone shaping without losing natural dynamics.

Chop, stretch, and manipulate samples across three distinct modes—from looped textures to rhythmic slices to punchy one-shots.

Play lush, nuanced chords with expressive control—strum, invert, and articulate in real time on Push or MPE controllers.

Generate endless drum patterns and acid sequences with algorithmic precision—morph between random and classic acid sounds instantly.

Craft character-rich saturation with five distinct distortion flavors and dynamic transient shaping for controlled aggression without losing definition.

Generate intricate polyrhythms and evolving note patterns from minimal input, unlocking complex arrangements in seconds.

Roar is a saturation and distortion device for Live 12 that offers an experimental approach to gain staging through flexible routing modes and stackable shaper curves. It features three processing stages with multiple routing architectures, comprehensive modulation sources, and a distinctive feedback loop that can create ringing textures and delay-like effects. With twelve shaper types, eight filter types, and mid-side, multiband, and feedback processing options, Roar produces sounds unlike other instruments or effects currently available in Live.

Saturate your mix with authentic analog warmth from three legendary tape machine emulations—dial in subtle coloration or aggressive harmonic grit without taxing your CPU.

Tape Echoes is a Max for Live tape delay plugin that captures the authentic character of vintage analog tape echo hardware. It combines realistic tape modeling with Drive and Dirt features for anything from clean vintage tones to heavily distorted, saturated effects, avoiding the clinical cleanliness of typical digital delays.

Degrade audio with intentional lo-fi grit and spacious reverb, blending sample rate crushing with surgical filtering for vintage tape texture.
